you can read “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” its by stephen chobsky.

the main character isn’t really depressed or suicidal

but its about a boy with emotional problems who becomes best friends with these two high school seniors. its about him dealing with different problems like drugs, , pregnancy, abuse and material. i thought it was a really excellent book. it does really have some depression and a kid does commit ******* in it though…

by and large one of my favorite books, i thought it was really fantastic.

here’s the wiki site:

Hi–I have depression too, along w/ Social Anxiety Disorder. I just got done conception “Prozac Nation” by Elizabeth Wurtzel. It was really excellent. I **** self-help books also when it comes to psychology. “Girl, Interrupted” by Susanna Kaysen is also excellent. If you want something a small bit more “out-of-the-box” try “Devil in the Details” by Jennifer Traig–it is a small bit more on the lines of OCD, but you get the top. Fantastic Question btw!!

“Hope Rising” and “Join Called Hope,” Kim Meeder,
“When Invisible Children Sing,” Chi Cheng Huang, M.D.,
“Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians,” Brandon Sanderson (fiction, but excellent),
“The Overachievers,” Alexandra Robbins,
“Expecting Adam,” Martha Beck, Ph.D., and
“The Fantastic Divorce,” C. S. Lewis (fiction, but powerful).

Also worthwhile: the coming of age problems given in “The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?”, Free and Wilcock,
