You have all the symptoms of being depressed!. Why would your parents flip out!? I have a 14 year old and I would want to know if she were having problems so I could get her help!. Fighting depression (especially at your age) isn't something you should be trying to do alone!. I really think you should try to talk to at least one of your parents!. If you can not do that, you need to talk to someone!. Do you have a counselor in school that you can talk to!? I really believe that talking to your mom would be the best bet!. We all have trouble some times and it isn't anything to be embarrassed about!. Let her know what is going on so she can help you!. Do it soon so things don't get worse than they already are, okay!? I hope I have helped you and I really hope you talk to someone!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think you are going through a tough time!. im 13, and im depressed!. i could tell you all these fancy and long words from wikipedia about depression, but im going to tell you this as if im ur friend!. first, you have to find out why you are acting this way!. do you have any problems, did something happen that traumatized you!? i became depressed after my parents got divorced, and right after that, i was bullied because i had a broken family!. even after a year, after i moved and my life got a bit better, i was so traumatized by my experiences, i was never the same!. that might have happened to you to!. your sleeping problems are also one sign that you are depressed!. another thing is that your not eating well!. its mostly because when you are depressed, the hormones, or chemicals in your brain that control your mood, hunger being one of them, doesnt function properly, making you feel less and less hungry!. best thing to do, is to tell your parents, cause your depression will get worse!. get into counseling, and try to solve whatever problems you have!. ask a trustworthy friend to help, and just tell them what your feeling, trust me, having someone who will just hear you out will make you feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can understand why you don't want to tell your parents!. I am sort of in a similar situation!. I think the best thing to do would be to see your school counselor!. They have to keep all your infomation confidential!. You can tell them as much or as little as you like!. If you are having thoughts about suicide or harming yourself or others, don't tell your counselor this as they will tell your parents but still go and see one!. Keep in contact with your friends and make sure they know what is going on!. If they are true friends they will be there to support you!.
Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

well as you say you are showing symptoms of depression, however you said your 12!? hormones could be complicating things so dont make any quick judgements!.

if you belive it is depression, try thinking of why you might be, and take steps to improve your lifestyle (exercise, diet, friends etc)!. and if it gets more severe confide in friends or family they can help you out a great deal!. btw dont expect your friends or boyfriend to truly understand you if your depressed, 12 year olds mostly dont have the experaince to deal with this kind of thing!.

good luck
