Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

Try talking to your parents again when everyone is calm. Explain how important this time of your life is, with school, plans for your future after school, dating, etc. and that your moods make it really hard for you to do the things you're supposed to be doing.
If any doctor, other medical person, teacher, psychologist, school counselor, or other professional believes that a child needs (as in "requires," not just that it would be "good" or "helpful") something for health/safety, and the child's parents are able to provide what is required but refuse to do so even though the child agrees that it is needed, the professional is ethically and legally required to make a report to protective services on behalf of the child.
