Sunshine. Smiling, which after 15 seconds releases seratonin :) exercise, releases dopamine and seratonin. Engaging in an activity you love no matter how you feel, it will usually get you shifting to a more positive vibe.

Talk about it with someone! First try talking about it with a good friend or with someone of your family. If that did not help make an appointment with a therapist.
Also go outside: Not getting enough sunlight can make you feel sad and loney. So go out and enjoy the sun!

Surround yourself with happiness and do things that you enjoy. Try listing ten good things that happened per day before you go to bed! Don't be afraid to talk to people about how you're feeling

Well as a growing teenager I have experienced being depressed and one thing that helps me to get rid of it now that I've grown is to pray and to talk to a therapist or maybe someone close to you that is willing to listen and not just to respond...depression can also be overcome by doing activities that you love like painting, keeping a journal or maybe writing a book and etc. there are a lot of ways to get rid of it...and to tell you honestly it is not easy as what it sounds like but if you really want to fight for it and overcome it you got'ta put yourself in there and win that battle.

Sadly, you cannot be rid of Depression, I should know that well enough, but it can be managed. I have fought it for many years, but the secrets I have learned are having a great support network, and fighting everyone moment you have to smile. You may not feel like it is worth fighting for, but it always is...ALWAYS

Sigh. Sadly, you can't get rid of it. You're going to suffer bouts of it. I've suffered since the third grade. HOWEVER, you could do a few things:
1) Stay with positive people. Of course, I don't mean "optimistic." Don't get me wrong. I mean, people who support you. Now, you don't have to ALWAYS hang out - you may not want to. That's okay and they shouldn't make you feel guilty over. Also, if you have toxic relationships - get rid of 'em. If you're being emotionally abused - cut it off. If you feel you aren't being supported or whether someone cares about themselves and doesn't even spend an hour on you. Cut it off.
2) Some days, you may not even want to exist. Like, not take drastic measures - but just... not exist. Lie, there's to be and not to be and you just... don't want to be. Those days, hold on to the people who will be effected by your sayonara. Remember why you gotta keep trying to breath. And breathe, even if it's shakey.
3) Give yourself time-outs. Work can be especially hard and at the end of it, it feels unaccomplished and stupid. Do whatever you can and then, after an hour or 2, give yourself a time out. And try not to sit to use your computer. Go outside. Ironic - as you're sitting here and I'm telling you go outside in response to your question. But, a change of scenery will do you good. Actually, make something exciting. If nothing excited you, start something that will. Maybe hang out with these people who will surprise you? Start learning a language of Duolingo? START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL, create some music/start a band, vandalise (in the appropriate places where vandalism is allowed :)), talk to someone funny/honest/light-hearted. And if you still can't focus: sit with someone. It's press, but eh.
4) You could be agitated quite frequently and might hurt those you love. You're aware of this - you want you want to be alone and it's just a laggy pain. But you want them, too. I'd suggest that you just talk to them. Tell them what's up. Maybe you could work on a pact: not more than 3 hours (too much xP) of social "me."
4) Don't avoid it. In my years, I tend to do this: have a crush. That's fine, normal. Though, I'll crush on Physics, a dustbin and a slut-hole (as in a person and a garbage can.) Then, I get addicted. Even if I'm in love with my best friend. Why? It's good. Takes you away. But, when it becomes less frequent/goes away, it's harder to deal with YOUR OWN SELF each time.
5) And that brings me to my last point: take extra effort to take care of yourself. Now, I don't mean sit in a parlour all day. Just, take care. Don't feel like eating? okay, eat just a bit and more frequently. And avoid junk food. And eat. Also, hygiene. I have a bed-time routine. Rinse your mouth, wash your face, wash your feet, brush your hair and (I tie it up into a bun). I take about half an hour on myself that way.
Sigh. I dunno if it goes away - in my experience, it doesn't. Though, you can handle it better. Also, depression isn't a bad thing. It's like anything else. Feeling terrible isn't bad; it just FEELS bad. The same way, feeling Manic may FEEL good, but it just is. Nothing's good or bad.
OH! AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOURSELF! Yeah, you're gonna call yourself a ton of things during the day and claim that you deserve so many cruel things (which may be banned to mention, here.) However, know that you need to be friends with yourself. Don't be against yourself. When you degrade yourself, take a deep breath and say, "No. We're friends. Okay, what's the problem? Okay, so this didn't go well? Okay, why not?" Council yourself. be friends with your self.
Love,
Me

A few easy ways to get rid of depression is to speak with a professional and have them help you get through it, talk to a friend, think positive thoughts, or figure out the reason for your depression and talk to a parent or guardian.
