QUESTION: What if I get bullied in high school?
Should I tell my parents about my depression? It has been more than 2 weeks. When I was little, I was also very sad even if I acted happy. I just realized that maybe I have depression when I got in a fight w/ one of my friends. I just felt even sadder.
ADVICE: Stand up for the other victims even if u are getting bullied. Idk abt the rest cause I'm still trying to figure out how to get ppl to stop tlking bad abt me.
