hey Dragon,
I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time, and glad to hear you're feeling a little better.
You might be clinically depressed, but then then again, during adolescence your hormones go wild, as if they overdosing on steroids. Massive mood swings and extreme depression and crying is not abnormal, neither is the feeling that you're not smart or good enough. It's not true, it's just how you perceive yourself. I never held such thoughts, but only because I was a total "space cadet" and didn't possess the mental capacity. That you do, indicates that you're probably a lot smarter than you give yourself credit for.
Your exGF didn't break up with you for someone "better." She probably just developed different interests, and more likely the reason she doesn't want to continue talking to you is because it would cause problems between her and her current BF.
As far as your parents telling you they have more problems with you than your siblings? Gee, mine too! Only EVERYONE tells me that I almost drove my mom to a nervous breakdown and right into a mental institution. And unlike my younger siblings, I never even got in any trouble with the law! I was actually just severely ADD and never got diagnosed until I was about 16. Once I did find out though, I was able to learn "coping mechanisms" which enable me to function fairly well.
Most likely, you're just going through "teen angst", but if you feel you may be depressed, you might want to consider seeing a doctor for a diagnosis and exploring the potential options.
I wish you all the best!
