I'm a female and 15 years old I have no emotions I haven't felt anything since I was 8! My mother is worried about me because I have show a symptoms of depression lately. My mom says I'm depressed because I'm stressed but I think it's because I found out my father killed people and that's why he is in prison! I'm was courious if this was a normal thing or should I be worried or I don't exactly know so if anyone has anything that would help I would really apreciate it!

I would recommend seeing a psychologist. While it may be diagnosable, sometimes just talking with someone can help us resolve the problems in our life. I'm not sure what you think of your father, but it may also help to speak with him. Sometimes when someone that is a part of your life does something wrong we tend to think of them in a certain way and that affects us. But speaking with him may help to resolve some of the conflicts that have caused you to not feel. Either way, speaking with someone will be the first steps to a happy you.

Having no emotion is an emotion of itself. Having no feelings is different and this may be what you are saying. From what you wrote I think this is what you are saying.
Your father being in prison for killing people can have an effect on you adversely as you describe. Now how your dad killed someone is important also. If say he did so unintentionally in an auto accident that is way different than intentional homicide. People go to prison for unintentional homicide just the same as for intentional homicide. The only difference is the term of incarceration.
I'm always here if you want to follow up and I would like to hear back from you as to how your are feeling. This is not how you have to live there is help. Please get the help that is out there.
Still this can be very stressful on a child so both you and your mother are correct. Stress causes depression. Depression causes pain which in your writing I believe you are saying is no emotion. Having been that depressed myself I belief this is what you're saying.
Feeling as you do one could say is both normal and abnormal. It is normal considering the circumstances that you would feel as you do. It is abnormal for you to have to lives this way for there is help for the depression, stress and pain you live with.
This help starts with a visit to your family doctor so that you can be properly diagnosed for the depression you suffer from. From there you follow your doctor's instructions as to what treatment is needed. By following your doctor's instruction and taking any medication your doctor or other doctors prescribe as prescribed. You will feel much better in about 4 to 6 weeks as the medicine and talk therapy do what they do best.

I feel for you. I have suffered from depression (or no emotions) for almost ten years now, due to family issues. I didn't go to a doctor, though. I guess what I'm trying to say is one thing that helps is knowing that there are other people like you. There's always someone suffering more than you in the world. I am sorry about your father. I hope this helped, and if it didn't, I hope you feel better soon.
