NO NO NO,
Please honey get some help, it sounds like your mom is concerned about you, let her help you. You can not fix this by yourself. If you don't feel comfortable talking to your parents initially then talk to a teacher, a guidance counsler, some schools even have a psychologist on staff, talk to them. Then they can talk to your parents if you want them to, but they need to know what is going on. You have a great long life ahead of you, please get some help, there are lots of great medications out there that can help you, along with other treatments that can help you get better. I know what you are feeling like, I have just started to get out of a severe depression, and I too was keeping it from my family, it was hard to keep smiling, when I felt so bad inside, but your family will want to help. Please Please Please get some help, Talk to somebody anybody, if you are scared to talk to a teacher or counsler by your self, then take a friend in with you.

Hi sweets, I was suicidal at 16 and thank god I went and saw someone about it. I now take mild anti depressants and feel a million dollars for it! Life can be so fabulous if u give it the chance to be. Do youself a favour and get to a Dr and get some meds to keep your head above water.Its a very common thing in this day and age.You dont have to tell anyone if u dont want to. You parents are ovbouusly very concerned for your wellbeing and want to see you happy..There are also natural\herbal things you can take but I suggest you visit a doctor first and see what they suggest first.

No, you cannot fix this yourself. Talk to your mother openly and honestly and tell her you want help. If you are afraid or too nervous to talk to your mother, please talk to someone else (an adult) that you trust. If there is no other adult in your life that you feel comfortable confiding in, then please call one of the many organizations out there where there are caring people who can help. Some of them are:
USA National Suicide Hotlines
Toll-Free / 24 hours / 7 days a week
1-800-SUICIDE
1-800-784-2433 1-800-273-TALK
1-800-273-8255
www.teenhelp.us 1-866-460-4086
The Trevor Project - Teen Crisis Hotline - 1-866-4U Trevor (1-866-488-7386)
If you are not in the US, then please Google the phrase "teen crisis hotline" or "teen suicide hotline" and you will find help in your area. But, please get help. Depression is serious and can be devastating. I know - my mother suffered from depression for most of my life and tried several suicide attempts. It was a very difficult way for us to grow up but now that I am an adult, I realize it must have been a living hell for her.
People care. You need to reach out and let them help you. God Bless.

Talk to your doctor. Talk to a counselor at school, or to a favorite teacher. Talk to a youth leader if you're in 4H, Girl Scouts, Campus Life, or anything like that. Talk to a priest or minister or rabbi, if you're a believer. Talk to a neighbor that you know and trust.
And talk to your parents. Believe it or not, they really want to help you. And once they get over the shock of it, they will be your best ally in this battle.
But talk to someone. Depression can be treated, and the treatment can change your life from gloomy and grey back to sunshine. You KNOW that life is worthwhile.
But YOU have to make the first step. Reach out to someone - anyone - and tell them what you're feeling and thinking. You'll be so very glad you did.

My sweet, you need to talk to your parents about this and see a Doctor.
This is very serious.
You sound like you are suffering from depression and you need professional help - medication is part of that package but dont be scared - it will help you get better.
Your depression can be treated and you will feel so much better - you wouldn't want your school work to suffer would you and if you are being cared for by a Doctor, he can write to the School/exam boards to ask for special help for you and lenient marking of your exams etc...
Dont try to battle this one on your own, you wont win.
You need to get proper help ok.
Good Luck

No, you can't fix it yourself. It may be that if you leave it, you will get better in time but don't take that risk because maybe you won't get better and you have so much to lose. Please, please seek medical help. Medication can work wonders for depression - I speak from experience - and there may be alternative appropriate therapies such as counselling but only a qualified medical practitioner can advise.
Life is worth living, please don't give up on it when it's hardly started.

PLEASE get help NOW. Do not wait.
I lost one of my closest friends to suicide almost 2 years ago and it has been the most painful thing for his family and friends to cope with. I can't even describe how difficult it is.
Please, if you have ANY love or compassion at all in your heart for yourself or your loved ones, get help NOW before you keep going on a downward spiral.
