This is a message for all of the students on Suicide Project. If you’re feeling depressed or suicidal, you should try talking to a teacher who you feel comfortable talking to. Teachers are there to help you, but if you don’t tell them how you’re feeling, they will assume that you are okay.

Dave is correct.
Do NOT be afraid. They will NOT lock you up in some mental hospital. They will simply have to talk to a therapist. And the therpist will help you deal with your problems or at least give you ideas on how to deal with it. And IF you need medication – they will get you some.
That is it. No big deal. Do NOT be afraid. It is ok.
Somehow I felt like this post belonged to you. xD
Weirdly enough some teachers notice that something’s wrong, but some of us -like me- deny it.
Why I don’t know, maybe we’re too used of being on our own? Or we feel like talking won’t help anymore.
Like Azu, if a caring teacher noticed something was wrong, I denied it. I didn’t know how to talk to my teachers. I wanted them to like me and that meant behaving a certain way, like how I learned to do at home. I really could have used some adult guidance, though :\
Not every teaching will be willing or able to help, but many of them will help you if you ask for help. They are there to help you and you should feel comforatble talking to them.
