First you should understand that teenagers at your age are very emotional. Their at the stage of finding who they really are and what they plan on being once older. Its not a bad thing if you feel depressed from time to time, heck I get like that to. I went through the same thing, and I felt that my parents didn't understand me, which left me bottled up and cut from them. Its always good to talk to someone! Once you tell and explain to someone how you feel the weight of the world is off your shoulders. Really, theres someone out there who cares and worries about you. DONT CUT, it never helps! it makes things worse, why hurt yourself when you can help yourself? This is just a stage, happiness is something hard to reach but you need to be willing to reach it. Tell your mother or father you feel depressed lately, and actually sit down and tell them how you feel. They will never back down to their own child if their calling out for help. Be smart, and be happy! You will get through this :]How can i tell my parents that i am feeling really depressed?
Hey,
First of all, you're on the right path just to have the understanding that you need to speak with someone about what you're going thru it's a really brave thing to do.
I hope you have a good relationship with your parents, if not, now is a good time to start. I think is vital that you talk to them or any other person that you feel comfortable with, this will really help you a lot specially at your age, with so many many changes.
And how to talk to them, just come clean and tell what you're feeling.
You gonna be ok, trust in yourself.
Take care.
First off why are you suicidal? you're in junior high people and most people would dream of being in your situation. Second off, the best way to tell them is just approach them in a neutral environment, like when they aren't working or busy, if they're just casually watching tv or maybe eating a snack, this is a good time. Just tell them that you need to talk to them about something go somewhere where its quiet and private, and just open up, it will do you real good just to open up. Start by just simply saying, ';i've been very depressed';. and go on from there.
you can go to your school counselor and tell them about your depression and let them know that you want your parents to know.they will call or meet with you and your parents and then you can get it out in the open and get help.do not put this off any longer.you might also try talking to your mother about this and she can talk to your father,so they can get you help.yoy take care and i hope everything works out for you.
Write them a letter and be very honest about it. Give it to them, then they will come to you. It is then up to you to discuss everything and get it out in the open. I think it is good that you have the desire to want to help yourself....this is the first step. Be consistent and do it now. No matter what you think, your parents love you and would appreciate you telling them this. You need to tell them in the letter that you are asking for their help.
If that doesn't work, go to y our counselor...and again if you have a hard time facing them, write a letter to help ease the transition.
Ok listen... I am diagnosed with depression and for years i tried to smoke pot to help myself. Trust me, it only helps for a short amount of time and when it's gone you feel worse. Tell your parents how you feel, they will understand. It is common in todays world, especially in teens. This world gets harder every day and the sooner you realize you can't change it and help yourself, the better you will feel. Keep your head up and get the proper help you need to feel better....
Yeah, don't Cut. It doesn't help at all.
All it does is like.. kill you.
Dummy.
Just tell them you're depressed! It might seem embarrassing, but they will keep it to themselves, and it's better for them to know than not to know and see you dead on a bloody floor.
Don't you want to get help?
Then just tell them like it's not big deal, and they will get you help.
Good luck, and no more cutting.
Be honest. It won't be easy, no matter what advice anyone here gives you. I'm assuming you already think they'll be supportive, since you're willing to discuss it - that's good
Try to stay calm - at least at first. Your best bet to start might be to start a conversation (';hey, mom, dad...';) and then blurt it out (';i'm really depressed';). You could also say that you're not feeling well and wait until they ask for details.
Good luck!
What I would do in your position is tell your guidence counselor or a teacher you're comfortable with at school. They'll be able to bring your parents in and give you the help your need. Your parents without help may overreact and just panic and not know what to do.
Call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) DO IT NOW....
Tell me......are you sure your not doing this for attention? if you cant even tell your parents whats bugging you then there must be a problem more deeper then you think. and your 16 whats there to be depressed about. I think you need help and you need to tell them that your depressed all the time and you want to see a doctor.
your experience shows that you don't have to hide from your problems.
Tell your mom/dad how you feel and if they don't understand then you
can talk to a councelor at your school or you can call a hotline to get help on how to handle your depression.
if you can't tell your parents tell your school counselor. my son did that and they made him an appointment with a mental health facility which got him into therapy. things will get better. it just seems rough at first.
yeah, just tell them...';Hey mom, dad, I'm depressing and f*cking up, help me';...easy as that...
you just need to sit them down and tell them how you feel..
hope u feel better soon
