I'm unhappy with the life I have, yet I know I should be happy because I've got my health, both parents still happily married, a university place at Manchester, and I'm going away travelling.Yet I have nothing to smile about. A lot of people like me, but I only have a small handful of friends. Everyone else seems to be doing better than me in all areas in life (relationships, education, frienship etc.). And to top it off, I can't cry about it as both my parents say men don't cry about their problems.Part of me thinks it's because I'm going to Australia for 3 months in 1 week, but I'm not sure.Can anyone help.

Babes, you should not hide your feelings! Talk to someone. If you feel that you can't cry around your family, talk to someone seperate. Men are alowed to cry, and i personally think it makes Men bigger if they are not afraid to show what they feel. I have deep sympathy for you and hope that you overcome this difficult stage in your life. View your few months in Australia as a time for you to find out who you are and who you want to be. It could be the break that you need.
But, honey, you MUST talk to someone as if you don't, it won't go away, it will just get worse.
I know this probably wont help you right now, but times will get better, and the more you learn to listen to and respect what your body is telling you- that somehting is not right- the more quickly you'll get over this stage.
All the best,
