Depression
Okay. I think I am depressed. My one teacher has told me that I am and wants to me talk to my parents. I have cut myself in the past, and my mom flipped out when she knew that i "thought" about it, she never really knows that i did it. she told me that she'd disown me because im already an embarassment to the family that i dont need to be more embarassing. so should i tell my mom, or just try to go through it on my own?

first off, let me start by saying that you are never alone. EVER. but im not so sure you should tell your mom.. or atleast at this stage. if you decide to tell her now, she will prolly be mad that you didnt tell her sooner and she will probably flip out even more than she did before because she knows that you actually did do it and didnt tell her before. if you wait too long though, you can make yourself in serious condition if you dont find yourself some help. if you do though, then she might be a little happy that you tried to go through it without talking to her but she might also take it wrong. teen depression is very common and something that should not be considered as embarressing. because of the fact it is so common, there are becoming more and more ways for you to overcome this disease. no matter what - just remember that your not alone through this.
i suggest talking to a school councelor or a teen help line. (for your help line, click your state and it all pops up on the left side, in the grey. find your problem and dont be scared to call the number) [ [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ] or just talk to someone you know you can actually completely 100% trust. depression is commonly treated with therapy or with therapy and medication. heres some ideas for you to try and get over this.. cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, family therapy, Physical exercise, Creative expression, voulenteer work, Hospitalization, Special schools, wilderness challenges, or "boot camps", or medication. a combination of two or more is probably the most effective. but just take it step by step.
try doing the things that once made you happy. but, you have to be happy with yourself. have a positive self image. and be proud of who you are. honestly, cutting isnt the way to get rid of problems - infact, it actually creates more. like i said, step by step. good luckk
hope this helps!! :] ♥
