Williams’ leadership. ~ Ellison Photography by Ellison Horne www.wix.com

Are You a Sexual Grownup?

Question by Talker: How can i get help for depression?
I think I have depression, but feel like i don’t have anywhere to go. My parents are very religious and think that if i am depressed it means I am not close enough to god and just need to pray more. My dad doesn’t have a job right now, so paying a lot of money (even if i could convince them that depression existed) I don’t want to act emo because i am not. I just want to get help for a medical condition and don’t know what i can do. It is getting really bad and i don’t know how much more i can handle. The people at school cant help me without my parents permission because i am under 18. I know that if i talk to them about it that they will dismiss it; i have already tried that. so does anybody have any suggestions?
