Interesting. I don't know why I'm bothering to type this, because I know that you would never admit that you're wrong, because I am, in your eyes, a kid. I know that you will continue to rationalize no matter what I say, because that is basic human behavior. And I certainly won't be around to...

That is entirely true; it does not, however, change the fact that you could at least do me the decency of not assuming automatically that I am weak and vulnerable. In case it wasn't clear, I did not come here to be treated as a child. If there were a reason to trust someone who gives me "a few...

Hi, NSTW. I just joined the forum for the same reason you did. It's kind of nice to write everything you're feeling and have people respond, yet remain anonymous. I'm posting here because I have yet to find anyone close to my age (I'm 16) on the forum. I hope I get a chance to interact with you...

Um...sixteen years old I may be, but foolish I am not. I do know what internet safety is. And I am not impressionable enough for "a few kind words" to make me instantly trust someone. I came here to find people who actually respect me, not protectors.

Lonely because none of them know what it feels like... And yes, I do know the drill.

Well, I appreciate the advice and support. However...I've tried. Believe me. I've gone through four therapists and five medications so far. Nothing has worked. I have a great, caring family and a number of friends, but it's simply not enough. And it's lonely. Also, I'll try to fiddle with my...

Exactly. What am I supposed to do?

Wondering if there were any other 16-18-year-olds out there who were as lonely and depressed as I am. If so, I'd love to have someone to talk to. I don't care who you are or where you're from as long as you can speak English, and I'm willing to communicate by any means (email, Skype, etc.). Any...

Warning: this post is going to consist largely of me complaining. If you don't want to read that, then go somewhere else. I just joined ALL, so I don't really know the general mental health demographics here, but I would assume that there are a fair number of severely depressed people. I'm not...

So...hi, everyone. I think this is the part where I'm supposed to tell everyone about me, but I don't really know anything about me myself. So, I'll just explain why I'm here. Basically, I've been severely depressed for the last year now, and I've spent most of it watching as my life fell apart...
