Empath With Some Questions

I don't really know w to put this. I have two stories. Okay so on with the first. Ever since about 6th grade (I'm in eight grade and am 13) I have been different. From the way I dress to everything. Sometimes I can kind of feel emotions and spirits. Like when they're around and things like that. Also when I'm alone it's worse, because I know that they are there and it freaks me out. I don't really know what to do and sometimes I can see them out of the corner of my eye but when I turn around they are gone. I don't know what to do. I don't know if I'm psychic or what, maybe crazy. And sometimes I'll just get these weird urges to do something like go to my room to look at my phone and then I'll get a text message or it will ring. Or I'll be thinking about a song and it will come on. Also if I read about something then I'll just come across it, like something that happens. Okay onto the next story. My friend told me today that he can feel the emotion of others and that they just "take him over." he is usually really depressed and sad. He told me it depends who he is around and that what people's emotions are, he usually feels that way too. He said that sometimes he can't conttrol it. Also he doesn't know what it could be and they want to take him back to what he calls the "suicide house" he's been there before and he told them, but they have no idea what it is I don't think. Do you think if I was always happy around him it would make him better to try that? I don't know but he sometimes even wants to kill himself and I really don't want that to happen, nobody does, any ideas? I don't know what to do about both? Help?
