I think that happiness is service, faith, and a good character. Real happiness can't be found in keeping up withe the latest fashions, how many friends you have, or if people like you.
Just do your best to live God's commandments and be truly humble and loving, and I believe you will be happy.
An argument against this could be made by saying that the most virtuous people seem to have the worst things happen to them. First, of all, there are a lot of really great people that don't have terrible things happen to them on a daily basis. They have the normal trials of everyday people, without the knowledge that they're not doing their best pressing in on them and making their consciences feel stained. Second, if you follow God's commandments you can have the peace of God with you at all times, which brings happiness.
SO when you are discouraged, remember to truly do your best to be a disciple of Christ.
