you've been thru alot? read this then

Yay. So sane ppl do exist in these forums. And I have found them...Go me!!!

Teys,

If you actually payed any attention to all the posts that are written about Depression/SH, you'd actually notice that we've already established that wallowing in depression is a safety blanket.
The MAJORITY of teens DO realise this but aren't strong enough to break free from it, due to fear of being hurt again. Being happy/contented means you're vulnerable to being hurt. Those already hurt, would consider further strife to be a normality and so would just become another trouble to add to their list.

As for the statement regarding the amount of people suffering from depression, I agree that are a phenominal amount of teens.
But, what most people fail to notice is that whilst there are a large amount of teen angst victims, there are JUST as many that are actually VERY happy. You just don't seem to realise it because It's what YOU want. Things you dislike/don't agree with/don't believe in, seem to get more attention than those you DO like.
Think about it as a football game; If a nudist ran onto a pitch in one match, but another one was very normal .. Chances are you'd be more itnrigued to look at the one with nudist because something went wrong. Understand?

I also agree with the 'Not accepting help' part too. Alot of people REALISE they need help, just don't want to accept the truth, even though they should.

-Laura.

I agree with the above

Ironic Allure well spoken my friend...

I think you should have some appreciation to walk in the shoes of others - life isn't peachy keen for all of us. If are tired of them not taking the advice you have provided then SOLUTION: Stop giving advice to them

Simple....

I can see both sides to this - I agree with the fact that many people don't accept the truth/answers that they should, and dont try hard enough to get better, often staying in (as Laura so wisely put it) they're safety blanket of depression....but you know maybe the truth is just too painful for them to deal with straight away. However, when the times comes and when they're ready, at the end of the day they need to face things to move on...the courage it takes to do that shouldn't be underestimated at all though, and some people take years before they can face up to things. However this shouldn't be used as an excuse to run away from things, if they're strong enough they should face up to things.

Teys what you said strikes me as very egotistical:

"yet it is I who give you the answers you need"

Who has said that you're answers are the solution/correct? hmmmm

why would you say tht 2 sum1 i mean come on if you dont like what ppl say in this forum dont get on it or just leave it alone they are just expressing how they feel like you just did just dont throw a bitch fit everytime
Get Over IT

I think people have gone through bad things in their lives. To them it is the worst, but to others is would be just great or "peachy" (hehe sorry I liked that word) to be in their shoes. But ...
Teys~Do you not understand that coming in here in the depression part of the site, would mean that there would be some people that are so deep in depression that they don't think they need help because they don't think it would help? I think they want help but don't think they need it really. I do beleive that some people do "suffer". But suffering is different to all people. Some it may not be as bad as others or some people may think it isn't bad at all of what they are going through.
What annoys ME the most is that people keep saying that others won't take the help they are given.
I think alot of people try to be happy but don't see the point for it or don't think it would matter or what ever.

I don't mind if you people don't agree with me but this is just my opinion.

Oh and if you read more of the post and stop trying to put people down and just listen alot of people are trying to get help.

Toni great point about the egotisical behaviour and we quote :"It is i who gives you all the answers":

That made me laugh reading it back seriously...

"I listen to those who deserve to be listened too" again with the huge ego...darling who died and made you king hmm? Who are you decide who deserves to be listened to...maybe in your own right but everyone has a right to be heard...

As for the rest of your paragraph I would continue to rebutt but it made minimal sense in my language - which happens to be english :oS

im not cuzz i don't wana get mad at u n e more cuzz its not worth my time

say who you are and say what you feel...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind......................man dr.seuss was good at this life thing

i think teys is right i mean i agree completly.which is why i dont post my probs on here...or i dont remember if used to...hmmm.but anyway i figured there was other people on here that needed a hand and not one more person with one more problem. though i dont have a problem with people coming on here and asking for advice or just assuring words...but sometimes i dont even know what to say....but anyway thats what i thought so yea.ok bye.

go teys...and about the quote..i was reading a dr.seuss book and it doesn't get of my head!!! damn!

true very true....some poeple say half full..some say half empty..who will ever know*background music*.....

at least you tried.....dum dum dum de dum..lmao

I agree with you teys, people don't truly want help, totally agree with that...

i think people want sympathy more than help but there is a few rare people who do want your sincere advice. i think ppl should sit and ponder b4 answering comments and getting upset i believe your point of view has value but it is fair to say that we need to discern who is looking for valuable advice
