"Though its been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains..." -Poison, Every Rose Has It's Thorn.




My name's Ammo and I'm here to give any help or advice on anything that I can. :] Firstly, if you were kind enough to come here and read up on me, I thank you.

I've been through a lot when it comes to relationships and life in general. I've seen and heard many things and have always felt it's nice to be able to share my experiences (both good and bad ones) with as many people as I can in the hopes that I can help others not make the mistakes I've made (and sometimes still make). Who knows, maybe there's a lesson or two I can learn from you as well.

I don't really use chat programs much anymore so e-mail would be the best way to get in touch if you wish to chat but if you really need to chat then I am able to do so via Facebook, Yahoo or MSN. I'm a very social person so don't mind anyone wanting to chat. ^_^

If I were to say something to my counselor or a nurse about my depression could they talk to my parents without my permission? I've been wanting to see someone about it but I refuse to if my parents have to get involved. If that is the case, who else could I see about it?

Generally when you speak to your school counselor about anything at all it's kept private and confidential so they cannot tell anyone else about it (but I think this depends on the problem as well as certain other circumstances). This may also depend on where you are since laws regarding this might be different in the UK to the USA. I would suggest the best thing to do is straight out ask your counselor if what you speak to him/her about remains confidential and private unless your permission is sought before anything you say is disclosed to anyone, including your parents. This way you can be certain before you say anything. However, having said this, if you feel depression is the problem then your parents may need to become involved especially if it comes down to you needing medication to deal with the problem but again this is only speculation - your counselor would advise you of all the details beforehand, giving youo a choice in how you wish to proceed. I am curious though, why fight so hard to keep your parents out of the loop? Surely them knowing would be a weight off of your shoulders as well as them being able to provide you with support to deal with the depression, if it is the problem.

(Rating: 5) I'm really not comfortable with getting my parents involved. We don't have the best relationship and they haven't been supportive of me. They've known for a few years that I've been having problems but they've chosen to ignore it so I'd rather take care of it myself. Besides, I don't think they can make mature decisions, which sounds crazy, but we have different opinions that I think are more important to me than them.
