It's Not Only Hurting Her, That She's Depressed
My friend, has got a medical note, that claims she is depressed. I’m not saying that she’s not. I have no doubt that she is depressed, but I hate when she talks about her feelings.
This may make me sound like a monster(which I kinda feel like), but I’ll try to explain it.
She will say things that I personally think she shouldn’t feel, which again is extremely unfair towards her, cause she can’t help the way she feels now can she?
Back to the point. Let’s call my friend who’s depressed for S. She has said on more than one occasion that she want to run away from home, to get away from her parents, which she thinks are overprotective.
And trust me, they are not.
Once she said she was going to spend the night at a friend we both share, when she was planning to be outside all night long.
She also says they check her for cuts everyday, and that they nag her to eat, nag her to sleep and basically just nag her.
And I say, is it any wonder?
Her mum, which is a very good friend of my mum, once came to have a talk with my mum, and she started crying, cause she felt like a failure parent. She was so frustrated and had no idea what to do.
S’ parents are normal parents. They don’t hit her, and they are not on drugs. Neither of them are alcoholics, and they care about her.
Where did she get that “I hate my parents” attitude from then?
I can understand she getting annoyed with them, as all teenagers do, but to hate them, when they’ve done nothing wrong, is......just stupid!(as I have no better word for it!)
She should open her eyes and see that she’s hurting her parents(and us, her friends) as well as herself.
My opinion though......

I think you're right though....
But then again, I have no idea what's going on inside her head, you know. She could be really depressed. She probably is, but still. Sometimes it seems as if she says things just cause it's a very depressed thing to say, if you get me. Like, she'll explain how she'll rip the head of a chicken and then tear it apart and eat it's insides. Which is really very disgusting.
I dunno.
It just bothers me I guess =/

Yeah, I think maybe your friend is just trying to rebel against something. I have a friend who is similar, her parents have done nothing wrong and still she insists on breaking their rules, even the fair ones. I think she's just trying to find something to rebel against because there's nothing else in her life that she can. She's probably just pushing the boundries, like a phase. (I give crap advise)

i agree. her parents has clothed, fed, and loved her for her all of her childhood. and hating them in return isn'ta nice way to thank your parents. her mother must care for her and she needs to realise that she would need to make an effort to come out of this depresion i'm sorry if i sounded awful but that was adivce from a 12 year old and 12 years olds aren't always all knowing about this sort of stuff
