Dear 14 Year Old,
Feeling sad, blue, or depressed is not "mental illness;" in fact, we all feel this way now and again, and it does NOT mean that you are a "freak" or a "loser." I commend your honesty and courage by deciding to tell someone how you are feeling.
From what you've said, coach may not really know what to say to you about how you are feeling. As you know, some folks are better able to deal with these kinds of situations than others. It's no put down to coach, but maybe he's not the best one to go to about this.
At any rate, you are on target with wanting to speak to someone about how you are feeling. I know there are 24-hour "anonymous hotlines" where people who are having a hard time with some issue can call and speak to someone who can help. I'll bet if you googled for "teen hotlines" or something like that, you'd find something. You could also call 411 for the local "Information & Referral" service in your area. These folks keep lists of information, services, etc. for people looking for certain kinds of assistance.
Being a teen-ager, these days, takes courage and strength; from what I can tell you've got plenty. Don't give up your search. The answer is out there, and I don't mean hurting yourself either. Continue on your path, as you were put here for a reason. It is NO accident that you are alive, and your life matters!
Take Care,

you should definitly tell him. keeping your feelings locked up inside will only make you feel worse. You may feel like you are telling him too much, but if he is the only one that you can talk to, then you should tell him how you REALLY feel. You don't want to hurt yourself more than you already have. i hope that you choose to talk to SOMEONE, IF ANYONE, so you can live a happier and safer life!

First of all, don't cut or kill yourself that wont solve anything. I used to have some of the same problems as you do only I never went as far as cutting myself. If you think coach is getting annoyed by it then maybe you should also talk to someone else, like comming here asking people for advice is a start. Keep going to coach and talking to him. Also let him know about your cutting and suicidal thoughts. It's probably not the first time hes heard about it. Alot of people have thought about it.. or have done it. I really don't know what else to say right now about it but, if you need to talk to someone you can IM me on Oxo xxRAWRxx oxO or e-mail me at OxoxxRAWRxxoxO@aim.com. I really hope I helped

Ok, do not cut yourself or commit suicude. This would make everything worse than it already is. If you tell him things and then commit suicide, and you tell him not to tell anyone, and he DOESNT and then you commit suicide, "coach" will feel bad because he wasn't supposed to tell anyone why or what was happening. I would keep it to myself for a while, but you need to tell SOMEONE, tell your dad maybe about your brother. If you are scared to do that continue telling coach or the counsler. Tell them that you do not want to talk to the social worker.
GOOD LUCKK!!! GOD BLESS YOU.♥ Kendall.

Ok first of all when your hanging around your friends and family putting on a fake smile that is whats making them think you arn't depressed you need to let every one see what you are feeling so they dont think that you are happy andjust brish off whatever you say. Dont let everything bubble up inside like a time bomb cause all your anger and depression will eventually have to come out.....As for your coach it's fine to talk to him but since he works for the school you need to be careful because if you tell himabout cutting yourself he will tell the school and they can place you in a hospital i was in the hospital for trying to kill myself already. Cutting yourself is screaming for help whats bothering you so much listen i dont want you to hurt yourself heres my email .... email me we can talk about anything ok??

Tell him. From what you've said so far it sounds like he understands how depression works. He won't think you're crazy. Depression is a chemical imbalance, not a mental problem. If you have other people you can ask for help, do it. A friend, a parent, a school counselor. I know sometimes it feels ridiculous to be asking for help when "technically" nothing should be wrong. It's not ridiculous. I have the most amazing life and a month ago I was in a similiar position to you (thinking about suicide but thinking i wouldn't do it, cutting). Even then I lied to my therapist about cutting and suicidal thoughts because I didn't want to be a burden. Trust me, keeping those thoughts to yourself leads to nowhere good. Hang in there, and write me if you ever want to vent, cry, ask for help; i won't judge you.
