how do i tell my parents i'm depressed?
ive been depressed since 5th grade. i'm now in 8th, but many people will just tell me i'm "seeking for attention" or "it's just a stage." my mom has depression, but i'm still scared to tell her or my dad. something happened in my family when i was in 5th grade and that's part of the reason why i am depressed. i'm scared my dad will say "oh that's nothing to be depressed about." but it really affected me. i told one of my close friends back in september 2014 that i was depressed because she texted me saying she was bipolar so i told her i was depressed. she told me "no you're not, cry, build a bridge and get over it." that's the thing. i can't get over it. we were in a fight for 3ish weeks. now, after that, im scared to tell anyone.

Tell your Mother. Anyone who is going through depression or has gone through it realizes how urgently you need help.
It doesn't matter what happened; it traumatized you and you won't get over it until you are able to either talk *about* it (if that's what you want to do) or deal with it.
For me, I am obsessively fact-checking to prove that things actually happened throughout my life (good or bad) because my parents taught me that what I heard wasn't what was said, and what I said wasn't what I meant.
Don't let anyone try to tell you something didn't happen; no one but you realizes what it's done to your life.
There is help; I just wish I got it sooner!
