Sunny--I do hope you'll reconsider. As the article notes, it may be hard to take at first -- for many reasons-- but it is a much bigger burden for parents not to know. You sound very caring...so I'm sure that came from decent parents who care about you. Talk to someone, please, OK? And may your days be sunny soon!!

Exactly SunnyDays- what reviewer said is so true. Dealing with depression alone could make you alot worse than it would be if you had someone that loves you to help you through it. You can always message me if you want to talk about it or to just talk when you are feeling down... reviewer said it ""may your days be sunny soon.""
