I always felt different myself but had no clue it was any form of depression. I just thought everyone felt the same way. It took years of feeling bad and then good meds to make me realize how bad I had really felt all those years and it was not normal.
I think its extremly good that you are so insightful. I like Rohag's answer above re: speaking to your counselor or someone at school. How about your church if you attend one? Families are clueless sometimes because they may not want to believe something is wrong. They stay in the river in Egypt called..denial. You may have to take the bull by horns and be your own avocate. Make sure when you talk to people you do not sugar coat how you feel but lay it out for them exactly so they take interest and actually "get" it. This may take some forceful advocating simply because when you are younger people don't always take you seriously unfortunately!!

Thinking of you!!!
