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.

My mom is fighting cancer right now and one of the things that she had to give up for the moment is running. So last saturday i decided to run the 10-mile turkey trot race. Its odd but this was a big deal for me. its the longest i have ever ran and i wanted my friends to come along, to run or just to cheer. when i told them they all just laughed and continued their conversation. my boyfriend didnt want to go because he wanted to sleep. and when i went to school today *monday* i told him i was mad because nobody went to support me and he was just laughing. so i wrote him a note saying that i was upset because nobody came and that he was making fun of me for it and now hes mad. what do i do?

Tell your boyfriend he's an incredibly stupid asshole. He should support you, especially if you're going through this with your mother. Your friends should have supported you too. You shouldn't have been treated like that and you have every right to be upset.

let him be mad. He's the one that should be apologizing to you. What you did for your mom was very nice and appreciative.
I would have done the same for mine.

he should not be mad because you need support! i would take a different approach and think from his point of view. he might not really understand why this was so important to you. maybe you should try explaining things without getting mad or anything. just try to keep a level head when talking to him

It just makes that gift to your mom more beautiful. You did it on your own, even after your friends put you down. You were strong for yourself, and for your mother, its the greatest gift you could give her.

    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...
