I've researched further into depression + anxiety in children, and symptoms too. I've taken a few quizzes around and all of them have said I most likely have severe depression and anxiety and should contact medical help immediately. I've been trying to tell my mom, but I'm too nervous she'll tell my dad. I just don't wanna talk to my sister, and my dad is one of those people who thinks depression is just something made by the government/doctors to get more money off of drugging/tricking people.

Anyway, I'm on the verge and I really am lost and don't know what to do.

I've been feeling like this since January of last year, but I came out to you guys around April/May. I don't know what to do.

Umm maybe you could tell you teacher? Or you can have your mom promise it to tell your dad before you tell her what it is. I don't really know what depression is though, isn't it just being sad? I've never heard of being severely sad.

depression can be very dangerous if it get's worse, try talking to your friends or what Linda said, tell it to your teacher, teachers are great at explaining things to your parents and i think your dad will understand once they bring you to a depression doctor/therapist/psychiatrist.

If you can't tell your parents, there's really nothing you can do other than tough it out. Just remember that the world doesn't hate you just because you hate it.
If you manage to tell your parents I'd suggest taking antidepressants or seeing a psychiatrist.

Talk to me. I'm great with ppl.

Talk to a teacher or a friends parent. Depression is not a good thing to witness of victim.

okay so i don't suffer from clinical depression but i have been sad for long periods of time so i'm not sure if i can help you.
if you can't talk to your parents then talk to your gp and get diagnosed just so you are certain that your depression IS present. if you have any suicidal thoughts then PLEASE TALK TO SOMEONE. talk to a psychiatrist, talk to a trusted friend or family member, talk to ANYONE. here's a list of suicide hotlines:

if you ever need someone to talk to, then i'm here.

Thanks, guys. I'm going to tell my mom tonight.
