Ok so my mom is a single parent raising 2 teens. She tries so hard to give us everything we want. Well im a junior in high school.I am an honor student.. But Im at that age where i just want to have fun and be a teen.. I go behind my moms back and just have fun. For ex. Ill say im goin to my best friends ashleys house and really go to a party,, i always feel bad bc she always brags about how she can trust me and how im not like other girls my age.. but its something i want to do. Here lately ive just been needing someone to talk to, bc theres just alot goin on. And i think talkin to my mom would help and i would be relieved and not have to lie to her anymore.. Its just I dont want her to look at me different or feel like shes done something wrong in raising me bc she hasnt... I need advice bad
 
Hey darlin. It's really good that you've recognised the signs of depression, and are trying to find a way to get help. I have experienced depression for a long time now so I understand where you're coming from.
You said that you think you'll get muddled and what not when you try to talk to your mum about it... but here you've expressed exactly how you're feeling in words.
I think it'd be a good idea if you wrote your mum a letter, telling her everything that you've written here, telling her everything you're feeling and going through right now. You could give it to her and deliberately not be around, or sit her down and have her read it in front of you. Either way, exactly what you want her to know will be put out there, and will sound the way you want it to.
