That does seem a little unusual for someone so young, but I know that when I was at that age, I was dealing with a LOT. I had a father dying of kidney failure and that can be a lot for a 12 year old to handle.
I guess it all depends on what is going on in your life.
Whatever it is, try to remember that it's only temporary and try not to sweat the small stuff! |

Yeah, I was the same way in sixth grade. Just keep plugging away, and try to find one thing to do each day to allow yourself to relax. Read a book, play some basketball, learn how to cook something. Give yourself a halfhour break where you don't think about school or anything else, and it should help. It did with me. Good Luck to you. |

It is not normal for a 6th grader to be stressed or to be depressed. You should definately talk to your guidance councillor or your teachers/parents about this... you're so young! you should be enjoying school. |

i think we r in the same boat... but i am in 9th grade, not 6th. what i do to get away from all of the stress is:
1) read a good book
2) take a walk
3) enjoy life...hang out w/ friends
hope this helps!!! |

A little, but don't worry about it. You'll get help if you need it. Do your homework as best you can and have fun with your family. They love you. Remember, things will seem different tomorrow. |

You're just about to go through puberty (guys hit it later then girls) so that's probably helping make you depressed. It is a bit unusual to be extremely depressed in sixth grade so if hanging out with friends and just doing stuff in general to have fun doesn't help then you might have depression. Talk to your parents and if you are still depressed in a moth or two make an appointment with a therapist or even a homeopathic doctor. I saw one when I was younger for anger problems and it helped so much! Good luck! |

Nope....not extremely! Some depression and anxiety go with the age, but if you feel extrememly depressed or anxious talk to your parents and get some help. You are at a dangerous age for someone to take advantage of your feelings and involve you in a lifestyle that wouldn't be good. ie: drugs, sex, gangs. Talk with an adult and good luck : ) |

I dont think that is good. I had similar issues and now I wish I would have talked to a counciler. Taking care of this now wil make your life easier as an adult. |

If you are stressed, then I suggest staying away from the computer (computer addiction is REAL for our generation), stay away from the TV, and the video games...
You would be supprised how healthy life can be with out those things.
School is important, A and Bs are important, but you should be doing other things with your time as well... School is just as much about learning the ins and outs of social society as it is about grades.
I suggest picking up a sport, even something like softball, or soccer. |

For depression and anxiety or as you call it..Stress |

It's totally normal. Plus, while everyone around you may seem to have it together and be totally happy and adjusted, most of them are not. Very few sixth graders are what they appear to be to eachother. Sixth is HARD, it's a tough time. What you need to do is to find something you love. Soccer? Chess? Painting? Something that is not all negative either. If you are having troubles at school, talk to someone. Your parents for starters. Then a counselor at school. Be sure you stand up and say NO WAY if they suggest a route to fix things that you are not comfortable with. Often, adults suggest things that you, as an actual teen, KNOW won't work, but we as adults think will. kwim? I'm here if you need a friend, lots of folks are. Chin up, remember, if the kids around you are mean, it's often because things at home for them stink. That helps. :) |

noooooo not because of the work at school...the only stress you should have in the sixth grade related to school is whether so and so likes you and whether it's gonna rain and you can't play outside...not school work...school grades are most important starting in 9th grade |

It happens to everyone at every age. Hang in there it will get better. |

I think somehting else is going on. You need to sit down and honestly think about what is wrong and what is making you feel this way. Start a journal (not a blog or something on the interne) but actually sit down, even if it is for 5 minutes, and write what you are feeling. You would be suprised at what you learn about yourself and how much better you actually feel when you are done. |

Yes, it can be. Maybe you can talk to the guidance counselor, teacher, parent, or another trusted adult. |

NO WORRIES. BE HAPPY. COLLEGE IS MUCH BETTER AT CAUSEING STRESS. JUST GO OUT AND DO ONE THING A WEEK YOU LIKE AND DON'T WORRIE ABOUT WHAT YOUR FRIEND THINK. YOU'LL MAKE MORE OVER YOUR LIFE TIME. |

School can be a really rough period of life. There were times when I was unhappy and stressed, too. However, if you find that you are too unhappy, or if things seem too much, it will probably help to speak to someone. Especially if you you feel really alone. Depending on what is making you stressed or unhappy, speak with a family member, teacher, or friend. There is always someone to talk to- and you are never alone. |
