Birth control pills causing severe depression?

I am 15 years old and I have a family history of bipolar depression on both sides of the family. Recently it had been well controlled (no anxiety attacks, no harsh mood swings, no suicidal thoughts or actions, etc.). I have always had a very heavy, painful period. My cramps immobilize me and I get severe migraines the day before my period. My gynecologist recommended that I start a birth control regimen to regulate and lighten my period, so she prescribed me BeYaz and Naproxen 500 mg (I don't take the latter because it causes excessive joint pain). Ever since about a week after I started the pill I had been very irritable and moody, and recently it has progressed to the point where I cry all the time and sleep all day. The only thing I can compare it to is depression. I was wondering if it is all due to the certain pill or if it is entirely because of my preexisting condition. I want to fix it, but I cannot come off of the pill as I do not want to have to experience a painful period again and I have recently become sexually active (I don't want to hear it, it was a choice all on my own and I am in a very stable, happy relationship). Would asking about antidepressants interfere with the birth control pills or any pain medication in the Naproxen family? What kind of antidepressant works the best on minors? Should I try a different brand of birth control pill? Reminder, I CANNOT come off the pill. Thanks!

My ex boyfriend is still heartbroken. But I have no feelings for him. What do I do?

I dated this guy a while back. I guess I was the first girl he really got attached to. I was the first girl he kissed, I took his virginity too. We saw each other like once in every few months. He lived far away in another town but we still continued dating. But we broke up because I felt like we didn't talk very much anymore, he claimed he was busy but I just couldn't deal with a long-distance AND sort of busy relationship. It was just too much for me. He got angry and cussed at me. So now I have been dating a different guy, I really love this new guy. I can say I do not have ANY feelings for my ex boyfriend anymore, but people say he has been depressed and angry since the breakup. It's been 9 months since we broke up. I feel like I broke his heart. I try to be nice to him, but he seems really irritable. I feel bad. He messaged me on facebook a week ago and said hi. I didn't reply because I can't think of what to say. What should I do?

Opinions: School punished boys for being boys? part 2?

the way things are getting around here now is really starting to make me sick. boys have been playing like that 100s of years that's what boys like..... people need to quit making issues out of nothing.

Is this correct in English language?

"Despite loving exotic places, some youngsters prefer spending their gap year in their own country."

My 14 year old cousin wants to drop out?

He can't. You must be at least 16 to drop out, and between 16 and 19 to take the GED depending on the state you live in.

How come vietnamese youngsters like my nephew don't get what their elders are saying through their heads?

My bi polaric nephew is going out of control later this week and his mom is about to lose her job because of him. He constantly calls in his mother's work place when he is feeling depressed and wants to whine and ask her to help him and now the employer is extremely mad and confronted him about his excessive calling. He would always call in there and whine to his mom on the phone about why is his life so hard and why he can't marry that girl from vietnam that she promised him that he can marry. He cussed the employer out on the phone when she confronted him about his excessive calling and was screaming to the employer on the phone. The employer is thinking of firing his mom because of him. He keeps on throwing fits saying why can't he marry the girl from vietnam. We tell him in order to do that he must have a job but he just doesn't get it and continues to throw fits. He told me on the phone that he will kill anybody who gets in his way of him marrying the vietnamese girl from vietnam, he said he would kill even the people in vietnam who gets in his way. He is going out of control and we can't stand him anymore. I think he is going to be in big trouble if he ever goes to vietnam. Almost everyone in San Jose can't stand him so people in vietnam can't stand him either I believe. I've about had it with my nephew. He was acting very mature earlier in the week and now he is like totally a different person. This pattern repeats itself each week. He would have 3 days where is fine and about 4 to 5 days where he would be grumpy and mean and out of control. How come he just doesn't get what older people tell him ? I've noticed a lot of young vietnamese folks now a days has some sort attitude like he has. He always has an attitude with me when he talks to me.
