well my school counselor found out about the burns. we talked and she called mom.the counselor said i should go see an actual cunselor. my mom says that it won't help becuse she thinks counselors make things worse. so instead she put me on St.Johns wort to help me have a positive mood. i don't like them they make me tired which makes me feel really blah so i haven't been taking them.i need to stop being depressed though so i guess i will take them. it really sucks.

Sorry to hear that yr mom isn\'t letting you see a counselor. Can you ask her just to let you try it out? Maybe once she meets a good one, she\'ll have more confidence in that person....
Please talk to your school counselor again and let her know that you really want help but that you are not getting support from your mom to do so. She may be able to refer you to a clinic in your community or even offer counseling through the school. Also, you may want to check on line for hot-lines in your area that may offer counseling to teens without needing parental approval. You need to talk to someone and get help. Don\'t feel badly about needing help but do work hard to find it. Taking care of yourself and finding support need to be your priority at the moment.
I thinkyou should talk to your school councellor and see if they can help with you getting one. Also try talking to your mum she may listen to what you are saying. Good luck xxoo
