Stress/depression/self harm?

wow. you are really young to be thinking like this. let me tell you a little about myself. i am writing you this answer form iraq. i am in the military. i just had a friend kill himself about a week and a half ago. we all miss him dearly. i am not going to tell you what you should or shouldn't do but rather give you some of the things i do to keep from getting stressed out. the first thing i realize about myself is that i prefer to be alone. when i get mad or stressed i come to my room and relax. i think that might be a way to go for you. find a way to let out all your agression and make it a positive thing. for me, i play guitar. i have for years. take one thing at a time and don't let things get out of hand. i know what it's like to have things pile up too. i do it all the time and i am almost thirty. i can't help it. there's just too much so i take a deep breath and take one thing at a time. you may feel pressure from others to do alot because they expect you to excel. that's to be expected. i hope i am helping you because you seem like a bright person and i would hate to see you hurt yourself. you have to stop doing that. i know you don't want to hear that but you don't understand how that is going to affect you later on in life. you probably don't see it now but i promise it will. that's all i really have to say. i hope i helped you.
