Date: 6/21/2003 4:16:00 AM From Authorid: 46527 You say that you're not overweight but that you are ashamed of your weight. If you are within normal weight boundaries then I really wouldn't worry too much. It is not unusual to feel bad about yourself while you are a teenager, it's just a part of growing up and it really will pass. Hormones have a lot to answer for in your teens, one minute they are fine and you feel OK and then next they are all over the place making you feel unsettled and bad. Self consciousness is just a normal part of growing up, it feels dreadful at the time but if you can just accept that it will pass then it will feel less important. Your parents are probably right in that you don;t need professional help, in some cases it can help but in others it can actually make the problem worse by suggesting ways that you might be feeling (of course once these things are suggested to a mind already feeling fragile they often happen). I think the best thing that you can do right now is try to keep yourself occupied, don't sleep the day away or try to find comfort in the TV or fridge, get yourself outdoors and DO something, even if it is just as simple as pulling weeds out of the garden or cleaning the windows (boring tasks but it's something to do...and your mom will love you for it!) We all go throught these times of feeling really low, when it feels as if nothing will ever go right, but as you grow you'll see them for what they really are, just bad patches that pass. Huggsss |

HEY!!! im *cosmic_freaks* friend and i dont go to this site but i have something to say: Listen, dont do anything crazy! the best thing for you to do is to talk to someone! if you have siblings, consult one of them b4 u talk to your parents as they know your parents and know what their reaction will be like. EVERYONE gets depressed!! i just got over depression. I was sooo upset at everything; my weight, m y family, my appearance, my friends. I felt like i couldnt do anythingf without someone getting upset or hurt. It eventually got to the point where i was gonna commit suicide. Then my elder sister found me crying and talked to me about. She got some sense into me. She suggested 4 me to go to a therapist except i didnt want to. So she advised me to talk to my step sister whos in her 2nd year of her psychology degree. I talked to her and she helped me. I found it felt better to talk to someone i knew then a complete stranger who i didnt know anything about. So, in my opinion, just tell your family and you can either get professional help or family support. Its completely up to you! Just dont think your imperfect or anything negative or it just gets worse!! beleive me!! Hope you get better!!! luv pipsta |

I have been though about 2 depressing perids. The first was in year 7 when Every1 was gossiping leaveing me out. Watching my evey move then judging my every move and then putting me down 4 doing even the littlest thing I seriouly thought their was something wrong with me but something told me 2 live. The second time was at the begining of this year I started loseing alot of my friends I being told alot why people did not want to hung with me. And it's hard to explane but both times I felt as though no one would care if I died and I did not deserve to be happy. A friend Knoked some sense into me the second time though. What ever told me to live the first time did not come the second time so i am glad i had that friend. You have got to take evey1 elses advise here and know who your true friends are because friends give you streigh. And just rember You should not be ashamed of your self if people at this site are helping you now we don't want you to go. *Cosmic Freak |
