school help: so im depressed… - Help.com

How will cutting yourself help you?
I always ask that…

Exactly, cutting yourself’s not gonna help…
Why can’t you live with your mother?

HAH!!! i had the same exact situation! looooooooooool
i used to lived in the states as well , until my dad forced me to move with him to england because of work , anywhoo , at first it F-ing sucked , going to this snobby highschool and the weather coping sucked like hell , always raining and freezing , even in summer.
but anyway , i got used to it, i learned how to cope , i made friends, and i kinda like it here now, sure the US was way better but the UK has its good spots too~
and about ur dad , just nod and smile and dont giva **** , thats what i did lol :)
and now that i’m older , i go to the states frequently , see my old house, meet my friends and family and stuff.

Bottom line: Learn to cope until u get ur freedom :)

Course, the great thing about living in Britain is you get your freedom two years earlier then you would in the States…

yup yup ^^ what he said :D

Okay, glad you’re not suicidal, but please don’t even start thinking about cutting or…anything like that, ‘cuz you never know how your brain might react to that.

So, is there nothing you can do to go live with your mum?

Well, show him you haven’t adjusted well, because you clearly don’t particularly like it here.

have you spoke to your father told himhow unsettled you feel?he has to take your feelings into consideration,its not just him who has to adjust its both of you.

what does your mum say

when your older you wont have time to feel depressed ,youll be to busy occupying yourself with other things.how old are you lv?

But you will, just a little different to the USA high school experience, but it’s still high school here, and it’s still an experience.

thats a sad scenerio.where about in the uk are you?

I’m sure it probably is very werid here compared to the Us, but it seems all you can do is stick it out, adn try your hardest to get on with life here. In around 4 years time, you’ll be of age, and you’ll be able to do whatever you want! Move back to the US, live with your mum, anything you want. Just try and live life as best you can here. Your dad loves you doesn’t he?

He probably does, but he probably doesn’t want to lose you either. e obviously cares for you deeply and he probably had to fight hard to get you, and keep you. just try having the time of your life here with him, because then when you can, you can be with your mum and have the time of your life with her. Don’t waste time being depressed because things aren’t perfect and things aren’t exactly how they’re supposed to be. Nothing’s ever like that, not for me anyway. But, lifes too short to start wantin things you have little chance in getting. I mean, don’t give up on your mum, but also don’t give up on life. You can still be happy here. Like you said, you got to an ok school, what’s wrong with that. You have good friends, what’s wrong with that. And you have a dad that does care, even if what he does might not always show it. To me, that’s what matters. Nad right now, just be happy with whay you;ve got. You’re still young, you have time for everything else, just live life as it’s supposed to be right now, and that’s in England. But for now anyway, it’s not necessarily forever.

have u tried talking to other people in ur live about how ur feeling and u just have to remmember that nothing lasts forever and im sure that if u look hard enough you can find somthing that you like about englang even if it is somthing small its a start. and i sure he doesn’t just want u for the company, try and stay possitive about the good things in ur life and if u cant used the negative to push urself forwards and just remember when ur depressed its only u who ends up missing out and i know this from my past but i managed to turn the negatives into positives and thats how i got through

if you are of age you can (it might take a bit but itll be well worth it) take your parents to court and tell the judge that you would much rather live with your mom because you have been dropping into a state of depression. either they’ll let you go with your mom or they will get you help. either way, you are still doing a positive thing to help your situation.

By that point you should have been here long enough to qualify for British citizenship. Not that you’d neccessarily want to, but I think it would mean American law doesn’t apply to you. I’m not a lawyer and you’d probably need to speak to a professional about this, but I think that’s how it works.

How is this situation going now?
