What do you do when your depression is caused my your friends and your family?

So recently I've kind of felt abandoned by my friends at school like I'm not in the loop anymore and they don't really invite me to anything anymore I mean we're all still friends and we hang out sometimes it's just I don't feel like I can connect with them and I feel alone on top of it all my parents are making me feel like I'm worthless yes they love me but sometimes they take it too far now both my parents are super conservative Christians and I basically have no freedoms of anything who I hang out with what I do with my life and where I go to college they even said they wouldn't pay for any other college then the one they went to that I would have to get a scholarship which is not really fair since one my parents are kind of freaking rich with lots of businesses they own and what not they could easily pay for that college and my grades aren't the best even when I try my best and do my best I get yelled at because of it that I didint do my best they think I'm becoming my brother that I'm selfish no I'm not actually They don't know the crap I have to go through to talk people I know out of killing themselves or trying to help them with family stuff but they wouldn't care I just feel everything would be better without me sometimes

The greatest solution I've personally found is to be productive. Think longterm about the type of life you want and then immerse yourself into what needs to be done to accomplish that goal. Your family can take away your joy and happiness, but they can't take away your ambition. Use the sorrow as fuel to accomplish your goals. Join the military if you need to, reluctantly go to the college you do not want to go to, just make sure that you are heading down a positive direction. And when it gets too tough, slow down for a moment and drink a cup of tea or play video games to ease the tension.

Don't think that way! You are young and just because your parents seem strict, they are only trying to toughen you up for the world out there. You say you talked people out of killing themselves? Think about it, without you they might not be here. Listen, I felt that same way and still do but you are here for a reason and a very good one!
I sure hope I have helped you!

Fortunately, I have the ability to disassociate from them. Most of them realize that so they don't give me any grief.

Do what I did and leave.
