What can you do when you are suffering with depression as a teenager?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What to do:: Please let your parents know how you are feeling. They can have a doctor evaluate you, to see if you are experiencing the ups and downs of adolescence or if this is more serious. Most schools have counselors - that is another possible option. If you have thoughts of killing yourself, you need to let your parents know right away and then you will need to get emergency help.
