I take it if you mom tells you to grow up your still in school, First of all that is very wrong about your mom. Second if you are in school see a guidance counselor, I’ve been there. No fun at all, had to get help. But you need to no matter if your friends parents, or a stranger on the street, an hot line, no matter what get help, it a long rollercoaster, and the further you go up the longer the ride is going to be, so stop going up, so try to end the ride. I know if you are asking you have it in you. I believe in you.

you will never be sure but you need ti be so careful and look for any signs. dont be shy you must speek up because it will spryle down so fast and can easy indanger yuor life.

Amngower gives great advice. If you suspect you have a serious medical problm like depression, start by talking to a school conselor. They are in a good position to help you with advice and intercede with your parents.

i have had depression for almost7 years, its been a tough battle and for the longest time i thought it was just something temporary that would come and go away. unfortunately it hasnt, i still suffer on a daily basis but ive learned after a nervous breakdown that there are people who care and are actually interested in helping you through it. particulary family members but if that doesnt work friends are a huge help in coping. of course it is always awkward to open up to anyone and for me, goiing to a shrink did nothing because it was just too weird talking to a stranger. you begin by asking friends questions, how they feel on certain topics, talk about a fight you had with parents and from there is just sort of branches out. i never thought it would help or that i could do that but somehow i let myself open up a bit to others i knew i could trust and it has really helped. just knowing that others understand and are even going through the same troubles improves your overall well-being. give it a shot.

i used to be very depressed aswell and i didnt tell anyone untill i od and was rushed to hospital. i can tell you that you are very depressed and you need to see a doctor, you can do it in privet and know one will ever need to know. they will precribe you some drugs and it will be the best thing that has ever happend i promise. you need the help.

hey listen carefully for your own good.
i can surely say u are goin through a state of depression and u are not even willing to tell ur mom. i tell u few things practice them regularly and do reply back to me coz i need to understand your full situation.
>go outside regularly for morning walks as it freshen up ur mind
>make new friends n try to tell abt ur problems coz friends are the only ppl u can trust upon after ur mom.
>chat on the net and try to make new friends
>dont sit idel in ur room coz an idel mind is a devils place.

dont even think abt suiciding think abt ur family if u leave them how will they live ur family loves u more than any one in this world. i dont know wether u are a girl or a boy but i do care abt you.

and there might be someone around u how loves u more than anything.

ah its so painful to see a family depart n worse if u hav a stepmom who dosnt even care abt u.
try spending more time with ur boy friend he can be of gr8 help
n stop smoking sweat heart for ur own good

surround yourself with the people who love u! ure a wonderful soul and im positive that you mean a great deal for the people around you!! but yes, go and visit your guidance councellor at your school. Tell them exactly how u feel, what u’ve done , how u feel with your parents, everything. Trust them. You can choose what they tell your parents and what they dont and when. The councelor is there to help you, and listen.
I believe you can do it! Keep your head up, and show the lion inside of u :)

Hey, I went through a year of depression! I didnt know what to do! I couldnt talk to my parents becuz they would freak or they would try and “talk it out” with me! its not really my thing to talk to my parents! I thought about suicide..for a long time and sometimes came close to it! But someone found out and he helped me, now I dont know if I could live life without him and his help! Find someone that you can trust and talk…try and figure some things out! Be around with people that love you! When my friend helped me, knowing that he loved me helped SO much! Now im alot better! Yea I still have hard times and like right know im goin through some stuff and I dont know what to do! But as a strong beliver in Christ ive learned that He loves me and that He will help me get through this no matter what I have done! If you ask him to forgive you he will totally forget about ur past and he’ll help you through wat your goin through right now! I hope this helped and maybe we can talkt sometime!

I’m glad you are doing so much better CanadianTeen. So sorry your original post was overwritten. This whole conversation hopefully could help other teens with similar problems.

I would have tried to resurrect the wording of the original question (we can do that now) but for some wierd reason, I don’t have a record of the original post. Which really is too bad. Speaking as the site moderator, I am very cross with the user who overwrote your first post.
