Nobody seems to understand us teenagers. They say we are being like this for attention or it is our hormones or we are just being silly. It isn’t fair. We have feelings too and people should learn to listen to us. Yeah we may be young and less experienced than some other people but you should listen to what everyone has to say.
I feel so depressed, sad and empty because nobody will listen. Does this happen to anybody else or is it just me?
I feel so alone in this world…

It happens to me and I’m an adult.Anything surrounding mental health is still misunderstood.I’ve even had therapists and docs not take me seriously,been called mentally weak,faking I’m depressed when I said i was suicidal.I dunno who to turn to anymore.Their are people out their who will understand you,but might take a while to find the right person and they are more willing to help someone out who is younger than older
Talk to a doctor from a mental ward and they’ll believe you before you can say straight jacket.
Nah ,in the Uk they rather you commit suicide than put you in a mental ward cos it costs the tax payer money.Can’t complain with free health care though,must suck in the US though when your broke and you have to pay to be in a mental ward
Good point. I did not account for government healthcare
I sympathise Bluesky. I have a 16 year old son who is obnoxious as all Hell, but I know he’s suffering and I make allowances for that.
I honestly do feel for young people, I really do. I have not the faintest trace of envy toward them, as some older ppl do. I would not go through all that again for the world. I’m glad to be this much closer to death, and even tho’ I’m upbeat right now, I’m still looking forward to the biggest adventure of the lot.
So please don’t tar all older people with the same brush. Some of us really do ‘get it’ and I think there’s a goodly number on this very site…
We’re listening, Blueskye.
Lots love, Zx
I don’t want to see a doctor and even if i did my mum wouldn’t let me. She won’t admit that I am depressed. But I don’t want to see a doctor anyway. I would be known as the mental kid who has issues and it would be worse than it is already.
You aren’t alone. I feel this way a lot and nobody even tries to understand or even listen.
There is a tendency for adults to think that young people can’t get depression, or truly feel suicidal.
Of ourselves they can, and often do.
Sometimes it helps to have a Mentor to talk to.
Someone willing to listen without judging but not with all the hassles of bugging your friends.
Peace.
I wish people would listen more. But in the end, nobody can save us really
You aren’t alone. I’m with you. When we grow up, we will be the better generation because we are the type of people who understand that everyone has something to say that is important and everyone from all ages, races, countries and genders should be listened too.
Stay strong. <3
thank you
im 23 now and things have only gotten more lonely even though i have tons of people around all the time.. i feel like i have lived alot for my age.. you guys have no idea what its like for me to basically teach myself everything there is to learn about being a man and taking responsibility.. its a cruel heartless world..
Oh I’m sorry, I hope it gets better for you. I am always here 🙂
