Depression - Teen Support Group
Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

You are not to blame. You are not a bad person, nor a person who is weak. You are, in fact, a very strong person and I don't even know you. Why can I say that about you? Because you're here and you're reading this. Anybody who has gone through so much pain, torment and anguish to consider suicide is someone who is very strong because you are still alive. It takes strength to carry on, and in fact, maybe more strength than you've got right now. That's why you're here. That's why your reading this.
Consider this... Everyone considers suicide at some point in their lives. Everyone. Anybody who says they never have, not even for a fleeting moment, is lying. That makes what you're feeling right now completely normal. It's a part of life. I would even say that you've never really truly lived until you've confronted death in its face. Suicide is death. And you're doing that right now.
Death is a sweet end to a hard life. It is an interesting choice, and one that we only consider when life has finally just gotten too difficult. It's a dark time, and you're probably feeling pretty alone just now. I know I did. I felt like nobody else could understand. And even if they did, who cares? Life just didn't seem like it was worth it. After all, I felt like I had done enough with life, and well, I was tired of fighting the depression, the sadness and the loneliness.
But I'm still here. So I guess I found a reason to live, and after reading this, maybe you will too. If you don't, well, that's understandable. I don't know you and can't imagine the pain you're feeling right now.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest sea,
Yet never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams
and Remember that
Anything Is Possible
Believe in what makes you feel good.
Believe in what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams you've always wanted to come true,
and give them every chance to.
Life holds no promises
as to what will come your way.
You must search for your own ideals
and work towards reaching them.
Life makes no guarantees as to what you'll have.
It just gives you time to make choices
and to take chances
and to discover whatever secrets might come your way.
If you are willing to take the opportunities you are given
and utilize the abilities you have,
you will constantly fill your life
with special moments and unforgettable times.
No one knows the mysteries of life or its ultimate meaning,
but for those who are willing
to believe in their dreams and in themselves,
life is a precious gift in which anything is possible.
