Depression
F/15 I think I am suffering from depression, Im not talking about "I not myself today" kind of sad, but I have felt like this for a long time. I feel abbandoned and angry at myself for being a failure. I feel like everyone who I was ever close to has left me and I have no one to talk to. All of my close friends are gone and I only have a few friends that i really dont know that well. I having a hard time dealing with the deaths of several classmates and I have been thinking about death alot lately, I want to see a therapist or a doctor, but I am terriffied to talk to my parents...they see me as perfect because I am the oldest and they have such high expectations for me. How can I talk to my parents about recieving treatment?

its great that your parents see you perfect,now, tell them how you feel, dont worry theyll give you great advice and might even let you get treatment and if you keep thinking and saying that you are a failure thats what you will be, believe that you arent and mabey youll change.everyone faces death its not only you and thats life, but by the way these experiences ALWAYS make you stronger in a way.

Dear Scared and Alone,
If you have a counsler at school, they can get you people and I know at my school we have a confidental thing, they cant tell your parents unless you're endangering yourslef or others. If you don't want to speak to them, ask them for other places, like Group, that is low cost or for free. My friend went to group and it helped her a lot.

Just tell them... they will think of you as an even better person because you can talk to them and tell them your problems. i hope this helps! cjAdvice

You're parents don't have to know if you get help. You can get help from your school psychologist and unless they feel that you're in danger of hurting yourself others.
Perhaps you could ask your school psychologist if you could have a meeting with him/her, yourself and your parents and explain how you feel and see if something can't be done to make you feel better.

it's ok to need help!! this is something someone on this site can't help you with. i definitely think you should see a psychologist... if it's really hard to talk to your parents about it, try going to a school counselor or a trusted teacher first.. sometimes another adult can approach parents easier than the teen. whatever you do, please get help soon... good luck and smile...
