How to tell my parents i might be depressed ?

.........What your dad did and what he keeps doing is not OK, And you have rights with your counselor to keep what you tell her a Secret, Unless if it is self-harm then by law she has to tell your parents. And cutting is not stupid. When humans get depressed, Espically youth, And when in shitty family's like yours. We don't know how to take it out, We don't know how to react to it, But cry, and yes self-harm. I just got over my problem's with Cutting it got way out of hand, I am scared for life. Litterally. If you can't turn to anyone about your issues. Just go to your counselor tell her how unsafe you feel at home. But don't tell her your cutting yourself if it is going to cause more problems at home. And what was happening to your friends, And what your seeing it is called Growing up. And yes it is scary, This is when we start seeing everything in the world. How cruel and bad it can be. We lose our child like innocence. So maybe that is what is causing your depression too. Don't be scared hun, You will be out sooner than you think. If you need someone there for you, Talk to a really close friend or your sister, Just one you know who won't tell anyone, But just help you before your cutting gets worse because it gets extremely addicting. And just someone who will comfort you, And tell you everything is going to be ok, And for the hit list, That is a bunch of sh*t, The girl who put you on one, Is lying. Your kids, She is not going to kill you, Or put you on some hit list, She was probally jealous of you for something and wanted to scare you, Your going to be ok on that half. But Just keep telling yourself, this everyday "I could have it worst, I am going to be Ok, I will get out of here soon I am strong" About 5 times while looking in the mirror. And you will become stronger. And other ways to take out your anger, Is punching a pillow screaming in a pillow taking a stuffed animal and stab it (but hide it for later so no one will see it) But try everything else just as long as it wont result in cutting, It will make things worse hun, You will get through this, I will be sending Luck, And happiness to you. Blessed be.
