I missed school for the second time this week today. I slept in an hour later than normal because my mom did not come back to wake me up apparently, i have a hard time getting up in the mornings. I did this tuesday and she took me to school about 2 hours late and she was pissed, she is really going to be pissed off now that I did it again. I'm gonna ask her just to let me stay home so i can study for this algebra test.

I have been really depressed lately, I am having trouble spiritually...struggling with what or who I believe in. I can't seem to get anything accomplished, the only thing that is going right for me is the gym. I take my test to get my liscense a week from today, I sure hope i pass it or else i'll have to wait 2 more months to take again, everyone else i know has their liscense and passed it the first time, I am sorry for the rant but I have been very depressed lately.

And buy an alarm clock.
It's not your mom's job to get you up on time.

Drugs.
You are either going to start self medicating or do it via a doctor with something that works.
SRIs like Zoloft, Paxil, Prosac are all a good start.
Counseling might help, but I always found it a waste of time and money.

I always slept a ton in high school - you have to set priorities though, take some responsibility - go to bed earlier if you are going to have to get up early. I would get up at 5am everyday so I could go lift weights before school and that meant I had to go to bed early - I felt like a lameass sometime for going to bed early - but that was the price I paid to go lift.

I always end up sounding like my dad when I talk like this.

Thanks, what I am mainly struggling with is well...religion. I used to be a devoted christian but the more I prayed the more my prayers were left unanswered. The people at church did not make much effort to talk to me since my parents did not go. They can kiss my ass. I went there the other day for the first time in a while and they all tried to be nice to me. I am sick of those fuckers adn their "god" who doesn't give two shits for me. That is my main trougble, along with others.

religion and politics are what wars are waged over... well, and women.... and oil. but I digress - anyway, what you are talking about here is a very touchy subject.
I am in no way going to say that what I say here is the only right thing, but it is what I've observed and my opinion.
there is a famous quote - religion is the opiate of the masses. if you have taken any political science classes (I presume you haven't since you are in high school), then it is usually brought up that religion is a great way to take control of your people if you are a leader.
think about it, you have a bunch of people that you are in control of as a president or king or dictator - whatever. 90% of those people are total idiots, and those 90% have shitty lives where they have some shit job, a crappy place to live, can barely get by, etc etc.
why are their lives that way - many different reasons - but the last thing you want them to do is get smart and blame you about it - since you are in power, you could maybe do something about it. but instead, give them religion where they think "hey, life sucks ass right now, but if I'm good, it gets sweet in the afterlife"
religion is a crock.
go back and look at every single intelligent person throughout history, and 99.9% of them are athiests. there is a reason for that.

church is a great social place, it allows peopel to gather and meet up, show off soem nice clothes. it gives people outlets for various things and a place to meet people.
as far as god is concerned though, if he does indeed exist, he certainly isn't going to give a shit if you gather in one place once every 7 days.

most people that I've found are smart and have some religious belief (a minority) don't beleive in a sumpreme being, they just believe in an inner spirit that they need to deal with.

what I'd recommend you do is challenge what you are being taught- see what responses you get to that challenge. go to the library, or the net (but the net has plenty of bullshit on it) and read up on many things and be able to rationalize things in your own way.

again, these are my own opinions (although shared with many others). I in no way want to start a jihad here on this board.

Garza- have you considered talking to your priest or chaplain or minister or whatever about how you feel. It easy to want someone to give us answers but that's not the way things often work out. People can't always tell you what to do, sometimes we need to figure that out for ourselves. It's easy to slide down that slippery slope fast when one is depressed and all aspects of their life is being interfered with. Try to deal with one thing at a time if you can and the others can fall into place. And get that alarm clock and place it out of reach so you have to get out of your bed to turn it off.
