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.
Me and my boyfriend have been getting along pretty well lately, but the last few days I have been really frustrated! I am so tired of having to ask for permission. My boyfriend is having money issues so I help him out alot! pretty much my whole pay check goes to him. But I hate my job and its like I cant get a new job unless i have his permission. Even if I want to buy somethin I have to have his permission, when its my money! Ugh it just makes me so mad.... I dont mind helping him at all because I know he needs it and im the only one he has. But im 18 and I feel like its time for me to grow up and take responsibility for stuff. Like I cant even help my mom pay bills, she pays for all my stuff..... I want to help her but I cant because I dont have any money! I always have to make up an excuse for why I cant pay my insurance or somethin. I just want to SCREAM!!!!

tell your boyfriend to get off his lazy butt and get a job. you shouldn't have to support him by giving him all of your paycheck and he shouldn't have to tell you what you can or can't buy. like what everyone has been telling me, take care of yourself first.

Dont let this guy hold you down. You earned the money you should be able to do what ever the hell you want. This sounds like a controlling relationship. Please think about how you are being treated and move on! If you are trying to work on youself this is a good place to start! Good luck!!

Straighten your boyfriend out. He should have his own job, pay for his own stuff, and honestly...well...boyfriends are supposed to spoil their girlfriends...

all the above advice is definitely hitting the mark and talk to ur bf and how ur feeling about all this if he turns a deaf ear to ur frustrations it may be time to move on.

You give your boyfriend permission to demand from you, since he sees that you do what he wants. Some people take advantage of the graciousness of others. I agree - assert yourself, by using "I" statements with him, about what you will or will not do.

u shouldn't have to deal with something like this, it is your money and tell him that he should be looking for a job instead of free loading off of u!

i know personally i can get sucked into guys. but i really advise you to get rid of him. i know i dont know the whole story or all the good times you have with him but that there is enough to say that he's using you in a sense. you seem like a good person and you don't deserve that. it's not your responsibility to take care of him. if anything, it's the guys responsibility to look out for the girl. please think about it
