I'm 11 and I'm depressed

My dad left cause of me but i cant really tell the rest

Actually, you were at the time, just disappointed in life

Poor you, you shouldn't have to go through this alone. Please talk to your dad or your teachers or doctor or child line. There is a lot of support out there but you need to open up and talk to a responsible person about this first. Please do it asap for your own good.

Thank you for the actual supportive advice. I wanted help and you tried. Really grateful.

I've read some of the comments and understand some might sound a bit mean and age discriminative. I'm 14 and I have a similar situation at home. My mom always threatens to leave or kill herself and once she even told me to kill myself. It may be a bit difficult to reach for professional help but maybe try and talk to it with some close friends? I find this site quite useful to let things out honestly. And if you don't talk much with your boyfriend, I say leave him, get yourself a boost of self esteem because a relationship without communication is just non-existent.

Get off this website, it's for your own benefit!

Thanks for being supportive. And will you be okay?

Yeah, You really shouldn't be on this website.

Your 11? You need to get off the internet. The internet is no place for someone who is depressed. Go outside, play on the windmill or something.

You're, not "Your"

Uh ye I would but I can’t since it’s unsafe since there’s a guy that hates us in another apartment building, and I’m not 3 so Windwills aren’t entertaiting. Thanks for the supportive advice.

Being 11 you are not responsible for the adults around you. your friends might be a different story, but the thing about depression is there doesn't need to be a real reason. I've been depressed and suicidal before and the whole 'keep quiet and tough it out' routine does NOT make anything better.
What you need is a change of scenery, support and possibly some medical intervention. Often the biggest cause is something we don't even consider a factor such as activity or sleeping schedule.
The best advice you can get is to seek a youth worker, since they will be able to give you specific advice relevant to your situation.

Thank you

First of all , you are a beautiful, sensitive soul. You have value abd are worthwhile. Talk to a teacher, a counselor at school and they may be able to get you some support. You need the guidance and support of someone who's only business is to care about you.

There are better sites than this one for an 11/12 year old. Although, you do sound mature beyond your years. Hang in there. You are not alone and you are loved. And you'll find many , like me , care about you - even without ever meeting you - and are rooting for you to find happiness and the sense of self worth you deserve.

Good luck.

Thank you I’m really grateful

You are depressed because of your domestic problems. Try not to argue and let things go. Perhaps in time, you will feel better.

Thank you for the help

You are not responsible for another persons actions. You do not **. Your mom can't handle life right now (who knows what her childhood might have been like). She needs professional help. Ask your dad if he can help her get some counseling. Prayers for you! You are a gift from god for the world.

Thanks for letting me see it in a better light

Get off this website, you're too young to be on it! There are other websites on the internet, that are more age appropriate for you. But this isn't one of them!

There's numerous people who visit this website and submit - disturbed, psychologically dysfunctional, inappropriate and unlawful content. It's not safe for you to visit this website.

Thanks for the ‘supportive’ advice. Getting my off this website will definitely clear my depression

You dont ** and i doubt your mom & dad were going to divorce because of you or your mom was going to commit suicide. you need to talk to someone at school, maybe a teacher you like.

She should ** at 11, if she was my daughter she would have sucked at 11 weeks never mind years
