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.

What do I do?

A day ago I went to a fun run and one of my older teachers was there and had this dog named Roxie I totally fell in love with. It made me happy the first time in months. I can't stop thinking about the dog. I don't like most dogs but Roxie is special. She is the only thing that makes me happy but I probably will never see her again. What should I do, talk to my teacher, try to forget about her, or something else? Please help

Talk to your teacher, ask if you could visit Roxie.

How would I tell her that Roxie is the only thing that makes me happy? Would I tell her that I have depression? What would I say?

Well, maybe you could ask her if you could walk Roxie for her. I mean you might not want to dive right into the depression thing if she says yes to begin with. Of course, that's only if you're trying to avoid talking about your depression. If you want your teacher to know or think it would somehow benefit you and your relationship than yeah, tell them. I don't see why your teacher would have a problem with you walking and or visiting the dog, though.

Hope it all works out,
Iriss.

i think you should talk to her, if you get on well with her i think she'd understand and be happy to help you as much as she could. if you dont feel comfortable telling her about the depression dont make yourself beause you'll probably not feel great afterwards but it might b good to have someone to talk to about it in school maybe.
