Hopelessness 

The moment when you realise that everything in your world is wrong, and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.
Brandy:"Dude. I am just overcome with hopelessness."
Keenan:"Why?"
Brandy:"I watched MTV yesterday. *shudders*"

Cooper:"You've been inside for four months!"
Cody:"It's all so hopeless"
Cooper:"How the hell does moping fix that??"

Hopelessness 

the epitome of watching someone die and being able to do nothing to stop it
Standing beside the gravestone before the wake, hopelessness enveloped her, the feeling that precedes grief.

Miley Destiny Hopelessness

A disease that cannot be avoided if you like Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana and you are over the age of 9. (Yeah, this applies to ANYONE in the double-digits age range. Anyone! Tweens be warned!)
Symptoms of Miley Destiny Hopelessness are falling to the bottom of the social ladder, bad tastes in music, bad acting tastes, bad fashion taste (unless you have a wardrobe stylist), being outcasted, ridiculed behind your back, ridiculed in front of your face, posting dirty pictures of yourself on the internet, not being able to count, ears bleeding, speaking way too loud, snobbiness, slutiness, and a hopeless fascination with The Jonas Brothers- more specifically, Nick Jonas.
The only way to cure this disease is to realize what a nasty, no-talent whore Miley Cyrus really is, and to burn anything that you own that has anything to do with being a fan of her.
Girl 1: I'm Joanne's friend, so I'm going to have to get her out of being a... Miley Cyrus fan *shudder* She's become such a slut, now. And she listens to her music all the time. Being a fan of her is only okay for kids 6 years younger than her, but for our age, she's never going to make it through life.
Girl 2: *gasp* Sounds like Joanne's got a case of Miley Destiny Hopelessness. It sounds really bad, too. With your support, though, she just might make it through!
Girl 1: Yeah, but if she doesn't, I'll be forced to not be her friend anymore. =(
Girl 2: Don't worry, we won't give up until she's healthy again!
Girl 1: Yeah, let's go burn some Hannah Montana music store standees!

Learned Helplessness

When a child/student gives you a perpetual "idk" face when you ask/they are asked, to do some menial task that is well within their ability to do so, but they want you to either do it for them, or just give them the answer.
Susie should stop displaying such obvious learned helplessness and tie her own damn shoelaces, the idiot is thirteen!

The students suffer from a ridiculous amount of learned helplessness whenever they are asked to go over something their science teacher *just*freaking*disscused*.

Learned Helplessness

A disease for which the main symptom is never learning how to do simple tasks for yourself. Always asking others to do things for you--especially in the workplace. A carrier of the disease is usually fully dependent on coworkers and the employees below them.
"Hey Susie, I'm going to need you to put postage on this for me. I just never learned how to use the postage machine...I have learned helplessness"

"I've had learned helplessness ever since I got promoted to CEO. Can you copy this double-sided for me? I just can't bring myself to figure it out."
