Hi, I am 13 and i know I’m young but am i depressed? i could have the time of my life but at the end I’m sad and thinking that i shouldn’t be in this world. I think I’m feeling this because of my mother. She keeps on yelling at me and if i do something wrong she gets frustrated and yell at me more. Since she is a social worker ( for schools), i tried to talk to her . All she did was yell at me and told me to get out my feelings. I cried and cried and cried. Recently i had a boyfriend and he made me feel so happy, but he broke up with me over stuff from 2 years. I was so heart broken, i thought that if i died maybe my mom will stop yelling at me or my friends will be nice to me. I thought life would be better without me. I started eating my feelings out, i gained 2 pounds in a week . I always feel nauseous and never wanting to go anywhere. I didn’t go to my bestfriends birthday.

Next time you have a frustration with your mother, calmly tell what you just said "I thought maybe if I died maybe my mom would stop yelling at me" Or better yet just show her what you wrote here. You are suffering depression it sounds, and you need to get some help with that-- maybe your mother reading your post will give her a wake up call to pay attention to your emotional needs. As a social worker she has some training in that area. If she won't, the talk to your dad even if he does not live with you. Send him your post.
I think that everyone goes through a certain stage in their life in which they question their identity, usefulness, etc. Perhaps it's just a phase in your life that allows you to truly understand yourself. Stay strong!
Girl don't you know you will live till your 70........and here you at thirteen...... morning as you begin to learn about what it takes to live well these 70 years and girls must meet certain ways and your mother trying to make sure that when you become a women and you walk down the street...... all eyes are upon women you will be.........The only advice I will give you "Make sure you are Born Again before the death Angel comes for you."
