Parents Don't See the Symptoms in Me

Hi! I am 15 years old and I have been bullied since elementary school and it got worse in junior high and so I started to withdraw from my favorite activities, friends, became isolated, was an outcast, was excluded, people wouldn't want me sit with them at lunch, and more. I hated junior high it really sucked sometimes. Now a year later I am a freshmen in high school and am still enduring bullying. One day a sophomore even told me to "Shut up and go kill myself." I felt so bad and depressed and my heart was broken into a million tiny pieces that day. I had thoughts in junior high about ending my life but didn't attempt until this year in March on the 19th. I have the symptoms of depression but my parents don't see them in me and my friends have! I need to see if my best friends could get me to a doctor or a psychologist soon to find out if I do and then get me on meds if I do and therapy with a psychologist.

Totally get it. But you shouldn't let the bullies do it that to you. What makes them so great for you to actually CARE what they say!
Its tough out there but keep hanging on!

i feel for you when i read ur post. bullies are miserabble, insecure people and to heck with what they say. u cannot allow ur heart to be broken because of the cruel words of a stranger. Hang in there and ignore them! they are all probably gona not even go to college and have no futures whereas u have a whole life ahead of u after high school
