My sister
My sister is really depressed lately, and I'm really scared for her. She is pretty okay around me, but everyone else, (even our own mother and best friend) she won't crack a smile!!! I think it might be a 12 year old thing, but I'm a happy person who never really gets like that. I usually understand things, but I don't understand her! Tell me what to do.

I'm alot like your sister she probably just needs a friend to talk to she may just be feeling left out with her friends or it could be something she realy needs help with just try talking to her about it and see what happens

To M,
It's puberty, I'm sometimes like that and I just want to suffer in a room of darkness. Perhaps something is happening at school or something really upsetting has/is happening but she just hasn't told you. There's always a reason and a pathway leading to the way she's feeling.
Hope she is alright, best of luck

well first off you cant save the world or anyone for that matter and thats the cold reality of life. all you really can do is TRY to understand offer a shoulde to her in case she needs one and be there for her. but keep in mind some people go through things and dont wanna share but be close enough so that if she does wanna share she can. some people have to go through GROWING PAINS
alone. i suggest maybe asking her if shed like to go shopping or to lunch with you and see if that cheers her up a little. just let her know you are ever present in her life.

I think the first person who answered this is wrong. Just because she's okay around you doesn't mean that the depression is gone, you probably are just good at cheering her up. Even so, she might not be depressed- she could just be going through a weird period in her life where she doesn't feel like smiling a lot. Taking her to get help might work if you feel she needs it, but don't put her on medication. it seems like all of America is on anti-depressants because they had a bad day (instead of actually having a chemical imbalance). Try talking to her and try to find out how she feels. she just might be a typical moody adolescent.

well ask her how shes feeling while you are alone i know that im 13 and when i was 12 i didnt smile or laugh til i was 13 so this is usual just try talking to her it will halp to talk about it it could just school boys or something serious. hope this help.

Depression doesn't just go away around certian people... soundz like she is choosing not to crack a smile because she wants attention... you should take her to see a therapist...
