Oh where to start
Growth hormone Deficiency
Depression
Asperger’s syndrome. I almost never direct someone to wikipedia, but it has a high asperger’s population base; thus, its article is very good.
Asperger's
[b said:Quote[/b] ]Asperger syndrome — also referred to as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger's, or just AS — is one of five neurobiological pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) that is characterized by deficiencies in social and communication skills. It is considered to be part of the autistic spectrum and is differentiated from other PDDs and from high functioning autism (HFA) in that early development is normal and there is no language delay. It is possible for people with AS to have learning disabilities concurrently with Asperger syndrome. In these cases, differential diagnosis is essential to identify subsequent support requirements. Conversely, IQ tests may show normal or superior intelligence
(aspergers and depression are intertwined)
Um I hate myself, Have very poor self image, obviously. This is related to depression.
Something very few know (and i only say this due to the Anonymity of the internet)
After a long and painfull denial, i have come to the concusion that i am Asexual (not have interest in, or inclination towards, sexual behavior of any sort)
and the list goes on. But those are the biggies
It may not be a bad thing. Monks are celibate for a reason.[b said:Quote[/b] (Finch @ Nov. 20 2006,9:08)]I consider Asexuality to be the complete lack of sex drive or desire of sex. I am not sexually attracted to anyone or anything. A little, but not much.

As a 2 year track person myself(we'll see if the folks are going to let me this year) I definetly agree. Even if its not sports and outside of school any physical activity is good! I know some in martial arts, boxing, hunting, etc. etc. and they all seem to love it, and it definetly allows you to meet new people. Even P.E. if you do that is great start. I never really thought of myself as athletic, and being Asian being a sprinter in track is kinda a weird thing to do...mostly Asians seem to do Tennis, soccer, long distance running(me? Too lazy to run 8 miles every day), and occasionally football, but I surprised myself and others. If I happen to be feeling really bored or down I often go job over to a great park we have or sometimes go and shoot free throws(nope, not a good B-ball player, got interested in that a bit too late).[b said:Quote[/b] (schloaty @ Nov. 21 2006,11:32)]Farmer D, the best therapy for my teenage issues was joining the cross country/track team.
Didn't solve everything, but it sure helped in matters of self esteem (still couldn't talk to girls, but I only JUST figured out how to do it, and I've already been married for 4 years. Weird, that).
I think the excersize is the best thing to do for the moment. Give it about two weeks (if you do it every day, or at least five days a week) to see if it helps. Join a sports team, take karate, jog on your own, whatever. Just do SOMETHING.
EP is onto something. The medical community is too ready to pump you full of stuff you probably don't need.
