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.
But you can't. It's funny saying that when I feel the exact same way, and I've been feeling it for years.
But I want you to think about it like this...
All those bullies are doing this to hurt you, to break you down, to watch you crumble. And now they've made you feel like crap.
It's not that you're weak. It's that you've been strong for too long. They're the ones that are weak, to be getting off on something like that. It's pathetic, and you deserve better. You should not be the one suffering, or having thoughts like being alone, and unloved.
Because it's not true. We may not know your life, or your circumstances but we're here for you. Because you are not alone. We are all here to support you because we want to help. You can't let them win.
You need to put your chin up, and one foot in front of the other and think...how can I prove them wrong? You can smile regardless of what they say, ignore their opinions that shouldn't mean anything to you. You're not friends for a reason...it's because they aren't like you. They sound horrible and if anything, I'm proud of you. Proud of you for not being like that, and for still standing. You're still here because you're a survivor. And you deserve every minute of happiness. Don't let them snatch that away from you. Hang in there, it might take some time to feel genuine happiness and to find comfort and joy in things again...but you will get there. And I'm always here to help as well as everyone else here :)
