Question: My mom laughed at the thought of me having depression?

Hey,
This must be really hard for you to tell your story on here and being told you are stupid and ugly on a regular basis is going to drag you down, coupled with that if the people who are supposed to love you the most put you down all the time is the last straw!
So, let me just tell you a few things first. YOU ARE NOT UGLY, YOU ARE NOT STUPID, WHAT YOU ARE IS SPECIAL, IMPORTANT AND YOUR FAMILY NEED TO REALISE THAT ASAP!!!
So, what to do? I think you need to talk to a trusted teacher about all this. Arrange a time when they can sit down with you and have a serious talk about how you feel, how your family makes you feel and if they will help you deal with everything.
You need to get involved with kids who like you for who you are and will help you deal with your issues.
You have just as much to offer as anybody else!
I am happy to support you by email, but you also need to get support from people nearby too, you may also need to see your Dr as well as a teacher, They can very often help you even more. You don't need to tell your family and the Dr has a duty to remain confidential about you.
Good luck and remember if you need any more help from me, just message me.

That means that your mother already know but it's hard for her to accept it .
Tell your mom that you need to talk to her badly , while talking don't be a drama queen just tell her how you really feel if she starts laughing again you start crying (kidding) , you just tell her that you're serious and tell her that you mean it , and if she doesn't help you tell her that you're going to ask someone else for help :)
Good luck :)

You need to get help! Depression is an illness and requires treatment. Your family may think that making light of your situation makes it better. If you live close to a hospital or university, you may be able to receive free or low-cost therapy. Try to find an adult who will listen to you and help you.
Talk to someone else about it. Your mother probably doesn't realize how much she's upsetting you by not caring. Tell her she's upsetting you, and hope she listens. See if you can get some kind of therapy too. Good luck :)
I would recommend going to a place like planned parenthood. They have systems in place to help teens dealing with tough issues. They should be able to guide you. 1-800-230-7526
