Should I Get Help?

Question

I am never truly happy. The things that used to be my passions now make me sad, angry, and frustrated. I lost all my friends except for two, and I have a very horrible anger problem. I almost knocked down my door once from kicking it. I get annoyed by the smallest things. Should I get help? I'm kind of afraid to confront my parents, as I am only fourteen, and my sister is kind of a screw up right now, and I am supposed to be the "perfect angel".

Answer 1

woah, 14 and your acting like this?? get help hun.

Answer 2

Laura,
I am hardly an expert in this area, but not only do I have two younger siblings who went through such ordeals, I also used to be a high school teacher and have seen many students who are facing the same problems; perhaps I may have some words of advice for you.
I believe everyone goes through periods like this in their lives. There is always some sort of family dinamic, and everyone plays a part. You say that you are the one who is suppose to be the "perfect angel", and it seems since your sister is dealing with some problems that require attention you are not getting the attention and or recognition that you should. It could be that you are going through what any normal teenager would, but since you seem to want to change the way things are and are asking for help, there could be a deeper issue. My advice would be to talk to your parents. Let them know how you are feeling. I know you are afraid to tell them, but perhaps they can help you through this difficult time, or they may suggest that you see a couselor who can listen to what it is you have to say and who can help you find what it is that will allow you to be happy. If you really don't feel comfortable talking to your parents, you could try talking to your school counselor, religious leader etc.
Bottom line, don't be afraid to tell someone how you feel and ask for help. You have already taken a step in posting this question; now take another step and approach someone who really knows you and who can really point you in the right direction.

Answer 3

You've got the problems half beat by owning up to them.
For your age , that's pretty mature. Now with that same ownership , you need to talk too your parents about it and you need to talk too someone whom you trust as an adult , like an Aunt, Uncle or close friend's Parent.
Some Adults , don't admit they have anger problems and don't ask for help until it's too late .
Making the decision to come to terms with your problems is a big leap and one that you can find resolution if you start talking now and not getting angry when you feel that others don't respond like you want them too.
Count to twenty or one hundred if it will help you to calm down , but truly talk to your Parents as soon as you can.
Tell them that you would like to speak too them alone and with a quiet or toned down voice, tell them what you typed here.
That should at least open the door with them to your concerns about your behavior and hopefully they will get you the help that you need.
In the meantime while waiting to talk to your Parents , you can look in the Phone book toward the front of it for your town's Mental Health Clinic and get the number to show your Parents . At least it will help show your Parents that you are serious about this and they can call or you can call to ask for the help that you need.
I'm sure that you will do right thing, young Lady.

Answer 4

yes, get friends or email me, I will help you via the email through advice like a fatherly friend.

I am an old man whom had seen life and have help many people. but then i will not meet you though as I am a professional person with a career and have help many people for charity work since I was 16 years old.

Your problem now is not you....it is your frustration due to growing up and meeting problems that you cannot really handle.

I cannot advise you now as you are not saying the right answer or question. you could email me at [e-mail]

Answer 5

It's obvious you need help; the real question is from who?
You need some good friends, but until you find some in high school, I suggest going to talk to a minister, priest, rabbi, or other religious clergymember you can find.
They won't charge you like a psychiatrist, they won't yell at you like your parents, and you can tell them anything.
Despite their reputation, Catholic priests are always willing to help young people like yourself without molesting them, and the best way to meet one is to go to Saturday confession at the nearest Catholic Church.

If you are too afraid/unsure to do that, the next best option would be to get on an IM program and make friends your age that you can share your experiences with who will understand your problems and not judge you.

Answer 6

Actually, YES!

And the road to recovery begins with the first step, acknowledging that there is a problem!

Don't go down that road of anger, it leads to a dead end!

Tell our guidance councelor you want some professional help with coping with the stress you have. Tell your parents. The reward is to enjoy great passions, wonderful beauty, and peaceful serenity!

Tell your minister, religious leader, your doctor... anybody!
