awe, hunni, tbh teenage years are the hardest ones id say, now yes im a teenager still, but your life changes so much when reaching this age. I strongly suggest seeking help, i know its scary but it only gets worse. I've bee dealing with depression sense around 12, im 17 going on 18 and its only gotten worse, because lack of help and support.

It can be a struggle to get out of bed, i completely understand, and i know this can be confusing as you're only 13 years of age, but its good you know something is wrong at this age, you're young, if you need to talk to someone try www.7cups.com

Mr. Max. Would you say you have a good family relationship? Sure, I take medication for depression but depression did not hit me until I was in my early 20s. I had a 'good' teen period because my parents were always available to talk to, give advice, and offer protection etc. I find it very sad such young people today feel like you do. I can only think of the 'family' disintegration that has happened over the last few decades. We are now in VERY different times ... I am now 71. When I was born, Elvis was an unknown.

I agree... no 13 year old should have to go through additional stress. You should not have to be put through that. You should not have to care what other people think. You are an amazing person who deserves to be loved. You deserve to be supported. Being a teenager is tough enough. It is hard waking up every day trying to figure out life and navigating the difficult social world. Please remember - you are a person, created with intent, wanted, and loved. The reason you were created might be a mystery now, but I know one day you will discover why, and it will be amazing because you are already amazing.
