Should teenagers keep their depression to themselves?

Brianne Camilleri had it all: two involved parents, a caring older brother and a comfortable home near Boston. But that didn’t stop the overwhelming sense of hopelessness that enveloped her in ninth grade. “It was like a cloud that followed me everywhere,” she says. “I couldn’t get away from it.”
Sometimes in families, thing may be perfect, but the little things may get to the child. Brianne had everything as the article said, but sometimes everything is happiness. She was only 14 when she tried to overdose, but it didn’t work. When you are dealing with depression and its internal, you make you body go through darkness and you are looking for light that you can never find yourself. Some adults believe that depression is only something they can go through and that it is jus a phase for teenagers, but what they are not knowing is that it is both a child and adult emotion. Children deal with depression by wanting to kill themselves, or hurting their bodies, and hurting the ones who are close to them. Depression can be suicide, this is why they have medication, but sometimes it doesn’t work, it jus makes the situation more worst. Parents like Brianne probably didn’t understand why she was trying to kill herself and stealing for stores. What they didn’t do to prevent this was actually take the time to look at their daughter and see why was she depressed. Her depression could have came from her being peer pressured, going into high school, finally becoming a teenager, feeling like her brother was loved more, or just self depression. Teenagers with internal depression are hurting themselves more then the reason why they are depressed.
If you are a teenager reading this, please tell someone about your depression and why you are feeling that way, especially your parents. Parents can get you help faster, than any one else. You don’t have to explain to your parents your problems, but find someone that you can talk to, because depression can lead you to drugs, suicide, and just danger. Take Brianne for example, she felt like her depression followed her everywhere she went. She couldn’t get away from it because she kept it to herself. She said she couldn’t find a light, when all she had to do was ask for help, but I guess you have to be willing to get help.
