I don’t have a right to be depressed. My friend has been sexually abused by her step-father. My other friend cuts. Me? I’m a straight A student, my teachers love me, i have amazing friends and my parents don’t hit me. But it’s the small things. The way my parents call me a failure when i get a B on a geometry test. When this girl in my class yells at me and then Kristen tells her to beat me up. When everything in my life is just wrong, but in the eyes of others, perfect. I’m never good enough. Ever. That’s how it is, and how it will always be. I’m only 13. But I’ve had suicidal thoughts since I was 10. Suicide seems like the only way to stop hurting. I quit.

Being a teen is tuff, perceptions can be scewed one way or another. When you make a B you may be perceieveing that they are saying your a fairlure when they are just saying in a wrong way that you could do better.
I can say this no parent thinks a child with a B is a failure.
Suicidal thoughts as a teen are common.
A psycologist could help, ……… I wish I would have known about them when I was a kid.
There was a huge stygma attched to mental health back then.
Trust me, my parents are crazy about this kinda stuff. I got grounded in the 6th grade for 6 months, just for placing 21st in a math competition.
It’s horrible that your parents are so hard on you, but you know it’s because they are just trying to push you to be your best. Be your best, for yourself, because if you have the brains you owe it to yourself to use them, and try not to let your parents words get to you, because their intentions are good.
I’m 24 and my life isn’t all that bad. I had a shitty childhood but am past that now and continue to be as strong as possible. I have many depressed days and many happy days. You will get through things though, you just need to believe that there is a brighter future ahead somewhere.
