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.
If they force you to apologise, i think thats unfair because then it isn't a real apology..and if they aren't hearing you out thats twice as unfair because there is always two sides of a story, as much as people dont like to admit it...there is. To this tell them calmly that before you apologise that you would like to share your side of the story and if they dont let you then maybe you should think whether your friends are true friends, because a real friend is always ready to listen.
Understand the illusion part. Absolutely. Simply to that...keep it to your self, i feel that every day about a girl in my group but i keep it to myself because i think she is trying to find her self and to do that she needs to make mistakes without my judgement. Remember you can't change someone, you can only help them.
If they leave you without a proper good bye then ask yourself whether they really were a good friend, if they were then they should be back...if they weren't then let them go. You shouldn't have to dawn on the friendship if they are just going to leave you like that its not right.
Some people just don't know people as well as they think, i know my friends dont know me all that well but i let them know as much as i want them too, if they think they know me ill let them think that because there is soo much to know about one person and sometimes all of that one person shouldnt be known.
This last bit annoys me because its so true. This happens a lot, i have sugar coated advice and the not so sugar coated one. You ask your friend which one they want and whatever they choose you give it to them and they cant be mad because you warned/asked them first. Not your problem after that.
Don't hate yourself, your not the problem. Things just happen between friends its normal and it takes two to tango so dont blame your self.
Sorry this is long, you had quite a lot of valid points. Good luck and message me if you ever just want to talk...i promise not to be so detailed next time xx Blue
