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.
Sorry to hear about your rough day. That really bites! I think this person acted very unfairly in your situation. I hope that you will be able to find another position where people can truly respect you. You're right that age and maturity are two different things. I think you are handling the situation in the most mature way possible. I wish you good luck and take care. *hugs*
