Secondly, drugs dont work for everyone. Sometimes it helps to talk to a psychologist or a councellor. I had mild depression around your age and I found going to see a councellor really helped. They sit you down, chuck you a coffee and ask you to say whats wrong. You may think talking to strangers is scary, but sometimes strangers are the best people to let everything out to. You're only 16 you have the best years of your school life to come, you're not a loser and dude everyone gets zits, you just got to keep treating them as advised by a doctor or pharmacist and get on with things. Good luck mate.
