"Depressed"

Well, lately all my friends have been either 'depressed' or 'suicidal' over the tiniest little things and it's really starting to get to me. I've had to listen to 'I had a fight with my parents, so I cut myself' 'The boy I love doesnt love me back, now I want to die' etc etc and I can't help but feel really angry that they are getting so upset over such small problems. Anyway, I was just wondering if anybody could give me any advice on what to do about this? Am I being selfish?

Well, you're not being selfish, but I also think you're caring a bit too much about what other people say. So your friends are being dumb. So what? Get over it. Tell them to wikipedia "Clinical Depression" and ask them whether they think they fulfill the requirements. If they say 'yes', tell them to get their butts over to a therapist and get some treatment. Otherwise, I don't think you should care about what they have to say about being 'depressed'. As a friend, supporting them and telling them not to do stupid things like self-harm is always important, but your mental health comes first. Don't let it get to you.

I personally think that is sad. Your friend(s) are hurting themselves because they had a fight with their parents, or some guy doesn't like them, is truely pathetic. You shouldn't get upset because of them. I think they are just trying to get attention. Lots of people seem to crave attention when they are in there teens, and will do anything to have it. You're friends are probably just emotional, because it is known when ppl go through there teens they get upset over everything. It will pass. No worries.

I agree with both the posts above me. =)

Yeah me too. I agree with Sean and Sunflower.

I agree as well. I think you should punch your friends in the face to straighten them out...lol.

Kidding.

Just try and show them how childish they're being and maybe they'll stop being so dumb.

UR NOT being selfish
Try to help your friends as best as you can and go to them whene you need to talk or to just chill.
