                                                                       Introduction

Okay. This is no oridnary story. No ordinary book. This is the real deal. I'm here to talk about different situations of depression and cutting. I want to get all of the sad reader's attention. First I wanna go through all of the types of depression what causes them.

Bullying

Okay, this one is pretty common. This usually happens in Middle School and High School. Not only is this sad, but it is very childish to bully someone. The kids getting bullied usually didn't even do anything wrong. I remember getting bullied because my hair is blonde. That was NOT fun. I see people getting bullied every single day over being "ugly", not bieng in the advanced classes, not having brand clothing and more. But then there is bullying because of passed problems. Like say that you call someone fake over something really stupid. They may start to get mad at you and it will turn into a fight. obviously all fights have to end at some point, But soon after, that person might still be mad at you and start bullying you. Don't give any bully the satisfaction of being upset over it. It will make them do it even more. Don't be a bully either! It's not cool or smart.

Parent Seperation

This happens when your parents get divorced. This is a VERY depressing matter. My parents got divorced when I was about 2 or 3. I know it was a long time ago, but i remember everything. I had just recently found out that my dad apperently had another kid with someone else while being married to my mom. I've known this kid my entire life but did not know he was my brother. That's one reason why they got divorced. It's a lot harder if your parents get divorced if you're a teenager though, because you already can't handle life as it is, and now that your once happy family is splitting up before your eyes is so hard. Don't give up, and don't pick sides. it NEVER works. It will only make things worse. But if one of your parents are being abusive or sexually harrassive, you need to take action.

School

This one comes up a lot. This includes work, social anxiety, mean teachers, peers ect.

First let me start off with social anxiety. Many kids suffer from this. Most teachers will force students to go to the front of the class and present themselves with a project or essay, when they can't hardly talk to their peers. This where I want to stand up. Once again a lot of kids have social anxiety and teachers practically put them on the spot for it. Teachers also lie to you. My Language Arts teacher told my class that we can write in our notebooks about our personal life and feelings and that she wouldn't tell anyone. LIES! I know she is obligated to do this, but she will go to our counsler. There are some things a counsler should not know....well at least a school counsler. There are also the paranoid kids, like me. Where whenever someone is laughing at something or someone, and you always think it's you. That you're being bullied all the time so you mkae sure you don't look bad 24/7.

Cheating

Okay seriously guys this should not be a problem. If you are not happy, JUST LEAVE! It's way less painful than cheating on you significant other. I have been cheated on. It was not a fun experience. I found out from his mom....yeah. Just stop wasting your time on hurting someone and just leave if you don't love them. It's way easier. Others have feelings too.

Social anxiety

This one also comes up quite often with teenagers. This is where children/teenagers do not want to talk to their peers and/ or they refuse to do a class presentation. Some adults go through this, too. They may have gone through it as a teenager but never got over it. Turning it from a faze, to their life. If you do not get over Social Anxiety as you grow older, you need to seek help. No one wans to miss out the very rare fun in life!

Family Death

I know it's very deressing when your close family members pass away, but you have to move on and live. My grandfather who was to me my bestfriend, died two days before my birthday two years ago. My dad called and told me the night of my birthday. When you find out tha a family member dies, the best thing you could do, is visit a friend or have them visit you. About two weeks before my birthday, I was my friend Melissa's house, and my dad called and told me My grandfather was in the hospital and not doing so good. I cried for two hours, but Melissa was right there giving me her shoulder to cry on. She made me feel so much better. So I can only imagine what a friend can do for you when you.

Anorexia/Bulemia

Okay this is just where people go wrong. This happens when you're getting bullied about being fat, or if your parent(s) are fat and you're scared to turn out that way so you starve yourself and makre yourself puke up your food after eating. I used to have anorexia because my mom is big and I wanted to look like a model when I grew up. It became a huge problem. I was on medicine, my mom had to watch me eat ALL of my food, I have 5 meals a day, I wasn't enjoying it. But trust me it s WAY better being chubby than skinnier than a twig. I've been both. Trust me. just please don' starve yourself or throw up your food. Just eat healthy and excersize regularly and you'll be fine!

Self Harm

I have honestly self harmed myself in the past and I regret it so much. I am going to Miami this summer and I have to wear more clothing due to the cuts on my thigh. Please do not harm yourself, or if you already have, please...I know you won't stop but at least try to reduce it? You'll have these scars for the rest of your life. Although there is surgery and home remedies to get rid of them, they will still show. The best ways to fade them somewhat, are to put some aloe vera gel on the scars about 4 times a day, you could also apply coconut oil on it twice a day, or you could apply lemon juice on the scars twice daily. This works best because it is a bleaching agent and might get rid of he scars completely if they're not too deep.
