If you are hurting: Yourself, it it important to get help. I don't know you or your family, but i know that most parents do not want their child to be suffering or hurting themselves. Adolescence is a difficult time. Many teens are feeling depressed. Your doctor has probably worked with others who feel like you do. Tell your parents and your doctor how you are feeling so that they can help you sort out what's wrong.
