A lot of teenagers these days have some kind of emotional problem But they are afraid to ask the parents. If u would need to go would u dare to ask? I don�t feel the need to but if I did I would not dare to ask. Why? Well my mom is a kind of Psychologist and if I would ask she would tell me my problems are nothing, and probably tell me a story of some patient she ever had (same goes for my dad). My family would soon find out, and sins I�m the only person in my family who is going to college in stead of a university, everyone is always making fun of me in my family and that�s why i would never ever ask =[ How is that with you?

As a teenager, I used to be happy being negative and feeling depressed.. being huddled in my room and I couldn't care less about myself. Eventually I got sick and tired of wallowing in my sorrow so yes, I indeed said that I wanted help. I wanted to feel better.. and so I asked to see a doctor. So I did.. and I still do to this day 7 years later. Then again, I was given a huuuuge diagnosis, so for me it'll take longer to recover than most. I still feel depressed every now and then. I admit, I did meet a few docs who were even crazier than myself but believe me, there are good docs out there. If you want the help then go for it. I certainly don't regret it. If I didn't get the help, who knows where I would be today.

If I asked, they'll madly ask me why since I hate psychologists and then complain about how much money they'll spend for the appointments.

I think everyone should have the privilege to be able to see a psychologist. They're not just for people who are borderline psychopaths or anything.

As long as i do not talk to a girl i used to love realy mutch il be just fine ^^ But why would you have to avoid something like that? =/ I love gaming too but that's mainly used as a distraction. If there's more an in-depth problem then try and seek help about it. Not that anything is really wrong with it, everyone needs help once and a while. No one should have to avoid things like that.. Some docs are okay, some aren't so great.. which is why if you don't feel comfortable with the one you meet, switch to another. Plus some meds work on some things, or some doesn't even mix well at all. Take me for example, I used to feel nauseated 24/7 because I have bad anxiety problems. Took a few meds here and there but eventually, the ones I take now, help keep me calm. I don't feel nauseated anymore, though it doesn't help with depression much. It's all really trial and error. If you don't want medication, therapy works as well. Only time you'll get the help is if you want it. Or.. if your parents enforce it.

I was really depressed for a point in time, when my friend killed himself... Didn't want to see a psychologist... because I didn't think it'd help.. and after I got forced to see one, one time, to get tested for ADD, I was convinced he was full of it. I don't quite like the concept of psychologists.. the irony of it being that I'm probably going to major in that field.. but if I honestly thought it'd help, I'd definitely ask my parents to go see one.
