Q. Since i was about 12, I've been really sad and lonely. Every little thing would make me upset and i would hold it in and then go to a washroom and cry. And i just always feel so sad. I am 15 now and it has gotten worse. I binge eat sometimes but since i am only around 100 pounds, it isnt apparent to anyone but myself who can see that i am gaining weight. i eat when i am sad and the sadder i am, the more i eat. I also get extremely angry too. It takes an effort to stop myself from smashing things.
I really want to tell my parents because it is getting out of hand i dont want to go on like this. How do i tell them or hint to them i am depressed?

A. It is great that you want to get help. You could talk to your school counselor, you could also write your parents a letter and tell them that you need help. Sometimes a letter can be a good way to get things across because it makes it less scary.

A. Just tell them. Open the lines of communication. You may not realize this but your parents love you more than anything else in this world. They will do anything to help you. I know this because I was a teenage and now I am a mother of teenagers. I know there is nothing I wouldn't do for them, I am sure yours feel the same about you. Good luck kiddo. Let them get you the help you need and want.
