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.

i dont know if i want my friends to see it and if i do post it ill put
-a dear friend of mine
at the end
its kinda revealing i guess and idk if i should post it

HIDING
im tired of hiding how i feel
im tired of hiding from what is real
i want everyone to know my past
that way i can move on at last
its really scary out here for me
i want to escape or let everyone see
im afraid of people knowing
but im ready to start showing
please be there for me
cause the past has made the future extraoridanarily scary
i need someone i can trust
i must get that person here, i must, i must
oh please lord let them appear
that way i know ill have nothing to fear
im waiting, waiting, waiting
should i tell? still debating

AWESOME POEM!!! Did you write that yourself? On face book isnt there like a setting where you can change it to where only you can view it? It is good to let friends know your problem, because they can be there to help..
I will be your friend and i will be here for you to talk to.

This is a beautiful poem. I think you should share it with them...or at least with the friends you think you can really trust. You need someone to be there for you, and you shouldn't be alone. If they're truly your friends, they will accept it and care for you.
