Well, a lot of the changes you describe in yourself are consistent with clinical depression, which is a real illness. Fortunately, there's good treatment for it, you might consider getting some. Since your dad obviously recognizes these' Changes' and doesn't seem to like them, maybe he'd respond to a convo and a request by you to see someone?

In the mean time, you'd do well to remember 2 things. The first is compatible with your ability to plan for the future, by saving your money. You might also develp a life plan for the future, and stick to it. Sometimes, when life is so bad and things look so bleak, it''s good to recast your glance towards tomorrow. It gives you a different perspective and perhaps most importantly, hope. Get good grades, focus on the successes you need today to have a great tomorrow. What your experiencing today is really temporary.

The other idea is to maybe take a second look at some of the judgements you've made, and maybe modify them to make today a bit more bearable. So, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to spend a little bit of the cash you've stashed to get downtown or be in situations that would feel a bit better? Maybe you could also do an 'inventory' of yourself, and see what it iis that the other kids seem to dislike about you, and maybe tone it down a bit?

Some things can't be changed, somethings can. Take a fresh look at things and see if you can't modify them to make things more tolerable, while planning for a better tomorrow. It's probably more productive than just feeling bad about it all and feeling powerless.
