Im lost without parents who care

by Ashley
(Hagersville Ontario )

My name is Ashley. I'm 15 and I am depressed I guess you would say.You would never know it though unless you stayed with me for a long time.I have friends but not close enough ones to talk to about this.

My mom and dad won't listen to me when I try to hint that I need help there never home and never just talk to me about what I'm feeling. I give everyone else advise but I have no one to tell my own to.I'm unhappy. I don't know why it's just no one cares so what is there to be happy for. I cut too. Not ofter but when it's just to much and I can't take it that's what I do.I have bad nerves I think it runs in my family. Even my mom dealt with depression. But when I try to bring it up she just says I have attitude and gets mad.

I don't know how to deal with this I'm lost and alone. What should I do?

 I promise it will get better
by: Jessie

Don't cut yourself, Ashley. Just put on really depressing music, punch something, but don't cut yourself. Please.

Every night, someone thinks about you before
they go to sleep
At least fifteen people in this world love you.
The only reason someone would ever hate you is
because they want to be just like you.
There are at least two people in this world that
would die for you.
You mean the world to someone.
Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

 Feels the same
by: Sarah E

Hey Ashley :)

As soon as I read your post I realised that I'm exactly the same. I'm 15; depressed; my parents don't listen to me; I cut my wrist sometimes; I don't have any real close friends; and I feel completely alone.

I've been writing everything down in a diary and I find that helps. I've just started emailing an online councillor too and they seem to understand. Try taking online depression tests. They aren't entirely accurate but are good to try anyway. I feel a little hypocritical saying you should talk to a doctor or councillor, but its true that you (and I) should. :)

 It's okay
by: Sarah

Maybe you should stop hinting. Go online, do your research, find the symptoms of depression. Adults tend to take you more seriously when you know what youre talking about.

Have you considered going to your school counselor? Some schools even have psycologist. If you talked to them about it, maybe you can have them arrange a meeting with your parents. If a professional thinks youre depressed, then your parents might take it seriously. if not, then at least you will have somebody to talk to.

Please, take it from me, cutting is not the answer. You deserve to be happy, and cutting is not gonna get you there, no matter what. Just reach out.

We all want to listen to you. Please tell everything what is important to you. That's my first advice: write your story, ask questions.
