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.

Forgiveness and Moving On

Hi, I'm just wondering, do any of you have advice on how to forgive someone and move on in your life even if you still think the person is in the wrong and they haven't apologized?

I am in a conflict with my friend and have been for a year. My other friends are getting tired of listening to it and they told me just to leave the school next year. They also told me that counseling doesn't help because I don't want to change, but I do.

I'm in a conflict with my best friend. We used to be so tight. I want more than anything to be friends with her again, but I know we won't fully be able to until we can learn to forgive, but I don't feel like I can get past this issue until she admits her fault and there is closure. I've already apologized to her for my part in what happened and sincerely told her I was sorry. But she still thinks it's all my fault. Any advice?

Sometimes we hold onto the past because it was such a good thing but its not good if the other person isnt who your holding on to. Id move on with your life and try your best to do the things that make you happy. You will find better friends but stop torturing yourself. The future is unknown but right now, your old friend isnt is pained with this as you are and its not fair to you to hold onto a friendship when they cant get over it. YOU deserve to be happy wih people who make you happy, not ones that hold grudges.

I recently had a big fight with my closest friend. We weren't talking for about two to three weeks. And then I realized how much better my life was with her in it. And even though I still somewhat think that I am right, I figured that the best thing to do was simply forgive and forget. It is harder when you think you are right, but not impossible. Sometimes, it just helps to pray. I am here for you if you need any help. Best of luck!
