my best friend and i are so fucked up. 13/f. punk goth scene emo wtf i dont even know anymore. but weve been dealing with things since forever and none of it was good exept when we became bestfriends this year. we are helping eachother through the cutting and everything. but i think im bipolar and she does to we took online tests and outa 25 i had all but 1 and she had all but 3. i do not get along with my parents she kinda does. were always together. we dont know how to ask our parents and our parents dont get along as in mine to hers but they were together and were talking about us and later on she told me IF I EVER BECOME A DEPRESSED LITTLE BITCH ID BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE AND IN THEREPY FASTER THAN ANYTHING. but wtf is she blind. and i yelled it and thers always yelling. one time she said theirs something wrong with me i said MAYBE THERE IS and she said you little bitch dont say that. i just dont know what to do and how to ask to go to the doctor for bipolar. i need an ecuse for whats wrong with me. but my bestfriend says i have it worse but her parents are always fighting and are drunk and tried to beat her a few times. were in this together and us as friends is what kept us alive. no therepist or phsyatrist NO just help me! please...
i thought i was biplorar and the doctor tried to convence me im not
tell your parents
i use to be the same way, cutting, all that
i talked to my mom, and at the time i didnt get along with her very well but she listened..took me to the doctor and he said "its just a phase" bullshit if you've been like that for over a year your depressed and you really honestly need to get help or the rest of your life will be all crappy
so about your friend
i know its going to be hard but maybe you should let her just be angry with you for awhile, if she's depressed too then its just apart of it.
im sure youll get angry too, so just dont stop talking to her, you need each other and if you stop being her friend over these then youll regret it alot! so try and help her..im sure you have been but just give it time [ dwpoopoohead's advice column | Ask dwpoopoohead A Question ]

Now for my answer- First, I do completely understand where you are coming from. When I was young I was part of the 'alternative' crowd in the 80's, which is pretty similar to the goth / emo thing today. And, by the way, I am also bipolar.
Listen, the best thing that I can tell you is that the teenage years are REALLY rough, on EVERYONE- not just you and your friends. Trust me, even the kids that look like they have it all and not a care in the world, they are going through some s**t too.
Your body is going through changes, so mood swings are normal, even if you're NOT bipolar. You are also growing in other ways- finding out who you are as a person. You're starting to find your own opinions, values, etc., yet your parents still want you to live by theirs- because, technically you're still a kid.
All of this makes it tough. Then you add to that how cruel kids can be, the pressure to wear, say and do the right thing and to be accepted...the list goes on an on. It's no wonder that so many teenagers feel so lost, confused, and crazy!
I can't offer you much more advice than that- just to keep in mind that these are tough times but everyone goes through it. And just as I and every other adult made it through, so will you!
I do think that a therapist might not be a bad idea though, if your parents are willing. I don't know about a psychiatrist...but a therapist can, if nothing else, give you a place to vent and to sort through your thoughts.
Otherwise, hang in there! People that say these are the best times of your life either have short memories or are full of it. It's hard. But you can make it. Just do what you know in your heart is right. No self-destructive stuff or anything, that will only give you more to worry about.

If you lived where I lived you would have gotten fucked up already by the emos and goths out here-GET A LIFE AND STOP GOING AGAINST YOUR PARENTS-DANM GO TO CHURCH YOU BITCH!!!!!!excuse my language god- Oh yeah being bipolar is no test you can take on the internet dumbass go to a doctor!!!I dought you are though!!!Hahahahahah [ duckydork14's advice column | Ask duckydork14 A Question ]
