What ... the f**k...

What might be on your mind sedans?

[cleone]

How should I tell my parents?! Is anyone gonna answer my question?!

[bb_42001]

Just tell them, you would be surprised what your parents will do.

What will they do?

[bb_42001]

ask, and find out!

[cleone]

ask, and find out!

They're gonna say something bad, aren't they?

[T.K.]

If they do, they're terrible people and shouldn't be parents

[madness]

Oh yeah!, sorry dude.
I’ve been caught up with everything; my weekend has started now so I have a little more time.

Just tell them, you would be surprised what your parents will do.

You make it sound like they'll slap him with a wet trout.

ask, and find out!

A bit extreme don't you think. Chris is already worried enough as it is.

Anyways, back to the point of my message.
It really depends on the kind of parents you have; 'kind, loving' or 'abusive'.
If they're 'kind and loving', it'll be in there best interest to help you. But they might not understand what depression is and act as if your feelings will naturally pass.

Telling your parents can be difficult because you don't know what to expect, take your time but try not to over think what you’re going to ask them.

The conversation will most likely feel awkward if you don't have a very open relationship with your parents. Not to worry, this is the case with most young males.

Ok, what you tell them shouldn't be too complicated, and the only reason you seem to be postponing this conversation, is because your uncomftable talking about these things.

So it'll take a little push, but once you get started it'll get easier.

Now finding the most convient time to tell you parents is awkward to. It really depends how often you do things as a family and if you want to tell your entire family or just your parents. Perhaps, it'll be much easier if you tell mum or dad, whoever you feel most comftable with. Then if you told mum, mum can tell dad later in the night. To keep things easy, stick with telling one parent. But it's up to you. You'll also find it much easier if you find a time to tell them when there not too distracted with other jobs.

Now to answer your question;
You'll feel unconfortable getting straight to the point.

Dad, I'm Depressed!

So try not to be too blunt, start off by telling them how you feel.
Talk about how your feeling, without saying your depressed.
Then lead onto saying you might be depressed and you need some support.
*Now I’m not quite sure what kind of support they can give… but it’s still good to let them know your situation. Then they can at least take you to someone who can help. ((<<< If you want I can still give this more thought, it’s just 1:20AM in the morning. I got a day out with some old mates tomorrow cannot be a zombie.))))


Hey. Maybe you don't want to tell them. Write everything down and show them. Then you get to think about what you write, whereas you don't get to think about what you say.


And if your parents take it the wrong way? or you feel this will happen?
When you get back to school see a school counselor, they'll understand your position and know what questions to ask.

You can also see anyone you know, open up to them and tell them about everything and you can ask them to tell your parents if you both feel it is necessary. This could be a friend, relative (grandma, brother, sister, ect), teacher, or even a priest.

And yet again if you still feel unconfutable most countries have a free call hot line which you can call and they'll support and help you through your tough time.

If you want me too, I gave say some more stuff.
It’s just I’m tired now and I need sleep. But I hope what I’ve written so far helps.

Ummm... not when one of the causes is that fact that I do not get along with my family. I also rarely get along with people in general!

I don't feel comfortable talking to counselors though. I'm really losing it, someone just please give me something to say to my parents! I need more than one sentence!

[madness]

Well!

So try not to be too blunt, start off by telling them how you feel.
Talk about how your feeling, without saying your depressed.
Then lead onto saying you might be depressed and you need some support.

It's more than one sentance; and it's really hard to know what to say when i don't know much about you and your situation.

I can try and give it some more thought today or tommorow. If I can find time.

Meet me in IM sometime tomorrow or something. Then ask all the questions you need.

[cleone]

It is not a good time to tell her. It would be better to wait a little while.

HAHA!!!! Where's my 9000$,T.K???!?

[cleone]

No, it had nothing to do with me being uncomfortable. She has a headache again and I don't want it to get worse.

Still,the main point of the bet was to see if you wouldn't tell,and you didn't,so T.K's gotta cough up 9000$.

[T.K.]

*forks it over*

I lost fair and square.
