In my teenage years what really helped with my depression was going out and getting involved in the local music scene. Becoming a "personality" of sorts did wonders. Especially the punk scene- those are some upbeat people they will literally kick the depression out of you simply because its not widely tolerated at their shows. Live a little, create your own strange fiction, give yourself something to remember.
