Do yall believe in 'depression'? Sometimes I think it's just spoiled people (mainly girls and closet homos who had bad parents) who don't know how 2 be happy... but I haven't been around people who are poor at n e time in my entire life, so it's hard 4 me 2 put myself in the shoes of some1 who have real problems/have had 2 work hard 2 get somewhere in lyfe/feel like life is for more than just floating from weekend2weekend.

It's also hard 4 me to believe in depression cuz the graphics that are in pamphlets about DEPRESSION are s0 funnie.

Kids can apparently be 'sad and not know why' even though they don't have any serious relationships or financial responsibilities.

Do yall believe in depression? Or is it only for 40+ year old people who 'don't know how 2 adapt to our technological society'?

Was Tom Cruise right that medication can't truly help people b happy? Do u have any 'zany' friends who are depressed to a level where it ruins Saturday nights for your group of altFriendz?

What internal conflict is inside of 'sad people'/depressed people?

• mainstream vs. alt?
• bad parents?
• person I want 2 b VS. person I will end up being?
• will I make good grades?
• Am I ghey or straight or bi?
• will I get an iPod or a Zune?
• Did Garden State mean something or nothing?
• Will I move 2 NYC or LA?
• Will n e 1 ever luv me like I think I deserve 2 be luved?
• Is my personal brand authentic or phony/which 1 will make me more money?
• Should I major in communications or design?

Is it hard for yall 2 empathize with people who don't have the tools to be self-aware/have stopped yearning for 'something more'/taken the emotional energy 2 make their mainstream concept of 'happiness' obsolete?

I guess what I'm trying 2 say is:
ALT = HAPPINESS ?
