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.

Have you reached out for help and support? It would be awfully hard to make things get better or just have things get better all by themselves. But if you reach out for help, perhaps you will find the support you need. Since you mention you have been raped two possible sources of support and resources for you are 1in6.org. They have a hotline as well as a chatline. Another would be RAINN.org. They also have a hotline and a chatline. Keep looking for help. You need support and resources to heal from all you have been through.

your not alone, you may feel like it but you arent, dont give up and dont give in, keep fighting, stay strong and look for the positive in the day. if you are thinking of harming yourself, trying drawing on yourself with a pen rather than a knife - ink wont leave scars you could also distract yourself by doing someone you love to do. talk to someone, i am here if you need to talk but talk

My depression has been going on for a while.. I built up a while pushing everyone I love out of my life.. trying to act like everythings ok even though I cry everyday at every moment... deep down inside I am struggling to find my inner self. My heart aches everyday. my depression got even worse when I found out my mom has cervical cancer. it's so..... hard and depression can take you too dark places where you think about dying.. I'm only 16 and I used to be hella Yeezy with my people at school I live in Atlanta nd I heard about this support group and I'm about to start it. I hope you find Love & Happiness

    Upon his departure, he remarked, "I am in many people’s pockets; no one will believe you." Have you ever grappled with the silence that follows sexual assault, where the perceived impossibility of being believed necessitates self-censorship?
