alot of people want me to go to a counsiler what will they do

A counselor will help you figure out what it is that is causing you to feel the way you do. Talking to a trained professional may be all you need to do. My son felt like you do and only had to go talk to a doctor once to figure out what was bothering him so much. The doctor told him he was right to want to go to a new school. He is happy now at a new school. That was causing his depression. It is very common to feel depressed and not know what it is, when you are 15 or 16 years old. The counselor/psychologist or psychiatrist can figure it out. That's what they are trained to do! If your parents will take you to one, then go! They will help you. Hope that helps you make a decision. Life is too short to waste a day being sad when you can do something about it, so go and "talk" to them about how you feel. Let me know if it helps.

My son went thru what the docs called 'adolescent depression' during his high school years. He started as an energetic and active student. But gradually evolved into a lethargic' unhappy person. He was not able to sleep well and had no appetite. As well as no interest in his usual activities.
We began with a trip to family physician - seeking a remedy for sleeplessness - Medication for sleep and an antidepressant helped him. Added to this were anxiety attacks. Counseling by a Psych. who specialized in adolescents really helped him. Also a couple of understanding teachers who made the school day managable. He is now a well adjusted young adult and no longer needs the medication.
Alex, depression is a real condition. And there is medical help out there.
Hoping the best for you.
Anonymous, because this is about my son, not me.

Alexstruck, when I first got depressed I really didn't like the thought of a councillor. However over time I realized they are just a trusted stranger who will be your friend only and who will tell you the truth. I said to my parents finally " mom I am not doing well but I don't want to talk to you just yet, can you help me find someone I can talk to?" it may hurt their feelings for a little but they will understand when they see you get healthy again. They have probably known you have not been feeling well. Talking to people on the Internet is great if you want some annonymous peoples opinions. Just remember people are not always trustworthy and if it ever becomes a friendship you wish to pursue why not ask them to meet you and your parents. Never alone just like any other stranger in your life. A councillor will get to
Know you. They will let you talk and the will suggest things for you to try. My suggestion is to try anything to get happier before you try medications as they are made for adults. Smile hun cause you are not alone!! We are all here for you.
