Are you depressed?

Constant bullying and teasing can really make you feel miserable.  You may become depressed and  need some extra help to deal with the situation.  Here are some common signs of depression:

Not being happy most of the time

Being irritable and very hostile (snapping at others)

Not wanting to do anything (include things you like to do)

Sleeping too much or not enough

Not having an appetite

Being very negative and having thoughts about hating life

Having thoughts of death or dying

Not being able to concentrate at school

These are some of the main symptoms.  Depression is a real illness.  Sometimes it is short-term (meaning it lasts only a short time) and sometimes it can be long-term (lasts a long time).  Sometimes individuals get so depressed they need to talk to somebody or get some medication from a doctor (called anti-depressants).
