Is 13 the hardest age for a kid
Hears the deal. I am 13 year old in the 7th grade. I am a shy, perfectoinist who is very depressed. I am dreading every moment of my life. I am ready for it to end. I would be to chicken to do suicide and I know how bad that would hurt not only me, but my parents, family, and friends. But I do feel I need to do something to make all my problems end. I can't tell my parents because they are on planet parents where all parents are just clueless. I am afraid I will start cutting myself, committing suicide, ect. People I have asked on ByeDR.com have been telling me to go out and play a sport, but I do. I have tennis every day except Sunday. I am #1 seed on my middle school team. I have Church Sunday though. I know I am young to be depressed, but, yet, I am. I grades are starting to drop. I have always had all A's, but now I have about 3 B's. (Which is a big deal to me.) I am afraid I will drive myself crazy trying to be this unreal thing called perfect everybody thinks I am. MORE...
Answer:Wow ....you've put a lot of weight on yourself ....obviously a good head on your shoulder to have such good grades ....maybe too much concentration of pleasing others and life demands ...rather than your self ...what things do you look forward to ???? what things do you involve your self into that really make you feel grateful ??and others grateful for you being there ??? ....just a thought .....good luck
Sweetheart, you're asking the same thing all the time, and I am nearly sure I already answered you before. Instead of always asking the questions here, which I feel is a cry for help, you should go to your parents or school councellor or doctor for that matter and tell them exactly how you feel. Since you go to church I would even advise you to speak to your pastor or priest.
13 years old now these days is tough, you dont have to do it alone. Go see a doctor that can help you right away. Special help and meds are critical.
ASK FOR HELP!! i KNOW HOW IT FEELS!! JUST GO ASK FOR HELP!! i WENT THROUGH THE SAME EXACT THING WHEN U FEEL LIKE THE WORLD IS CAVING IN ON U AND THERE IS NOTHING U CAN DO ABOUT IT! JUST WRITE A NOTE IF U R TOO SHY! OR TALK TO A FRIEND WHO U REALLY CARE ABOUT WHO CARES ABOUT U 2! DONT JUST START THINKING IM DEPRESSED IT RUNS IN MY FAMILY!! ITS NOT TRUE!! YOU CAN FIX IT! JUST THINK OF ALL THE POSITIVES IN YOUR LIFE!! iTLL B OK!
School counselors can be a lonely bunch. No one wants to talk to them, because then that might mean the person is labeled "crazy"..Counselors have a job to do and they know how to do it and they want to help people, but it is hard to do that if people won't let them help. They are not aliens from outer space...they are just people who want to help and be needed by helping people...Please consider talking to one, it would make them feel needed and good.
