Sorry to be harsh but you shouldn't say "Keep posting." It makes you out to be an attention seeker. Now this is the honest truth, it's gonna be harsh though.
Now with that out of the way where should I begin. Let's start with your brother. Is he in Highshool? If so you should be able to get home before him. When you do go in his room and get some dirt on him. Threaten him with it. Now get rid of any evidence of anymore dirt he could find about you in your room. Burn your journal.
Now onto your bullying issue. I'm not gonna lie and say it won't matter and that it's rainbows and butterflies in middleschool ad highschool. It's not. But these experiences will change you. Try to be positive at school and fly under the radar. Get good grades stay physically fit. You want to know why? Chances are if you stay physically fit you will be one of the "prettier girls" in highschool. I've never understood it but it just happens that way. Never be down in the dumps, and don't let things they say scar you. Because if you don't it will only make you stronger.
Now about your crush. If he ever comes to you when you guys are older and asks you out or something, say no but don't be mean. Be friends. Because you should hurt is ego. But never be heartless. If you ever have another crush, just wait. Wait it out until you're 16, 17, or 18. Chances are you would end up together in the long run the longer you wait. Of course it's not risk free. They could move away. But you'll find someone. Try to make friends by being nice. Kill them with kindness. Find someone you have something in common with. Go to their house and do stuff with them if you have problems with your brother or your dad.
That's the somewhat brutal but honest truth.
Teenagers can be really stupid, specially when they are looking for popularity.
I know guy, that was one my closest friends, and still is kinda my friend but not much now, he wanted to hang out with that people that party 24/7, so he started saying secrets of other people to the " popular " girls he will start hanging out with him.
The worst thing is that it worked, he literally got friends by being a huge asshole. He has never told any secret about me, mainly because i DONT trust anybody for other than normal stuff, i keep my secrets and my life for me... and for some forums but that is because they dont really know me, they wont do something as stupid as that guy did.
I´ve not been bullied in my life, probably some minor stuff like when i got angry with someone or someone got angry with me and insulted me or like grabbed me and told me **** about how much he would hit me but i dont give a single **** about what they say.
Try to find a small group of friends to hang out, dont try to be an outcast, find some friends that you think are " good ", but dont trust them, because once someone sees the opportunity to get a benefit ( in this case popularity ) they will do it, even if it means killing their own parents, so dont think they wont do the same to you.
keep your thoughts for you and only you.
Unfortunately that is how human works, US government finds petroleum, send an army of a million people, kill every man and their families and then get the petroleum.
Everyone would do everything to get the benefits they want.
I know, but im not like that IRL. I could say im a happy guy, i have good friends and family, but i know assholes and i know how they are, im basing all that post on assholes i´ve met in my life.
I suppose, the thread made me a bit sad, its really depressing but it is the thruth, im fortunately one the people that dont have to face that truth, but i know a lot of people are facing that truth in this exact same moment and are suffering.
But yeah, asshole or not everyone would do everything to get a certain benefit.
I'm sorry, but I just can't take this seriously. You're making such a big deal out of nothing, it reminds of my female Facebook friends.

And I'm sorry but this is life, you can't do much about it but hey, at least you aren't dying on the floor of a desert with AIDS.
Get that garbage out of my face. I'm willing to bet you don't even know what "suicidal" feels like. Its not some dramatic hollywood nonsense, its just dull. Dull, calm, and centered. Your know what has to be done, because you're doing yourself a favor, you see? You finally understand what you have to do.
I've lived it. I'm too tired to be articulate or proper...but keep your shallow trash you consider and opinion out of here. The absolute WORST thing you can say to someone whos depressed is "Hurr hurr, there are people in africa who are starving hurr hurr durr. You should feel good about yourself comparatively." Absolute ********. Not only are you making them feel even worse themselves, you're making them LESS LIKELY to feel like its worth even talking about how they feel. They bottle it, stop relying on other people. Feel as though they have no self worth. But you want to know the worst part? You want the part that makes it the most obvious you aren't thinking with any empathy? You make them feel shame. You make them feel even weaker than they already did. You aren't helping, you're casually feeding your own ego.
People like you don't understand what depression is. You give canned, stereotypical advice. Real depression, legitimate depression that borders on suicide is a form of insanity. Alters your thoughts, twists your reactions. Warps your view of the present. Something looks cheery and makes you smile? Guess what, it makes them feel a familiar stab in the gut. You're looking around at happy people? They're looking around at a bunch of shallow morons That can't see past their own nose.
I don't even care if I'm way off base with my interpretation of you. I've seen your type. You either don't think, or you don't care beyond making yourself feel good because "Oh I helped." These are people, they don't need criticism, they don't need shame, and they don't need to feel even worse about their present state. They need to learn how to live with themselves and stand on their own two feet again. People like you just stand at the top of the pit to kick em back down in while they're clawing their way out.
Next time you have something idiotic to say, keep it to yourself. [endrant]
Aye. It was actually a post I meant to edit, but forgot and made a new one.
As I can see.
I can tell you're speaking from a lot of past or current experience, but I don't really think the original poster suffers from depression in the same sense as you did, or still do. I think shes bringing up an obviously sensitive subject for attention. Her responses continue to make me question whether or not shes genuinely in pain, or simply seeking acceptance as if this thread were a Facebook wall.
I recognize that you aren't the one actually seeking advice, but given your response; I sincerely hope you've been receiving, or in the future seek help for your depression.

Its in the past. I guess I'm a unique in a sense, as I never got any help. I just learned to be more self sufficient. I'm not perfect, but I deal with it in different ways now.
My main reason for posting it really wasn't to direct it towards the OP. I know a lot of people browse these forums, and may not choose to directly post, but could find some value in knowing someone has felt the same way. It also might get people who use the "you're better off than someone in africa whos starving" rationale to think what they're actually saying.

This comment leads me to believe that it is not treated, and fear this example may serve to be just as destructive as TYTHERDGOON's advice. People will see your posts, recognize you as someone who understands their pain, then see that you never got help and "learned to be more self sufficient" as if depressed people are too dependent. In most cases, it couldn't be further from the truth. When you're depressed, you need to get help.

Outrage is still anger. Perhaps your anger is a symptom. Perhaps it isn't.
I would still sincerely hope you get help. Depression rarely goes away on it's own, and even when it does, recurrences happen. It's not a state of mind, but rather, an illness. Luckily it's an illness that is treatable - but the first step is to tell a qualified doctor that you trust.
Wow the majority of the people on this froum that aren't trying to help this girl are stereostypical Americans: Mean, stupid, and (most likely) fat. How about trying to help the people instead of feeding you troller ego?

I appreciate the concern, but I'm fine. I've thought a lot about my life, and I have a fairly good idea what the underlying causes are. Thats equally important as the next step, which is working on them. You can't fix a clock, if you have no idea how it ticks. Or why it ticks when it ticks as it ticks.
As for the self sufficiency aspect, thats more something that applies to me personally, as an individual. Everyone works differently, and everyone has different priorities in life. The key is working towards something in an honest way, that you genuinely feel you'd be comfortable and satisfied with. You're right though, self sufficiency was a badly chosen example, that could easily be misinterpreted.
I beat the people the claim "best at video games" in their grades.
I actually knocked out for a few hours do to getting beat up once.
In my own home. I was jumped by a bunch of them the day after the unofficial tournement.
And why would you say that???
