Dear depressed teenage boy,

You need to snap out of this depressed state of mind. It's been days and you haven't left your room. Your friends and family are starting to worry about you and you're being a little rude by shutting people out when they try to talk to you about it. If you're so depressed. why don't you just take some medicine so you don't feel so sad? Shouldn't that be able to make you feel better? Just make sure you limit the amount you take though, I read something the other day that most people who commit suicide are usually depressed, so I wouldn't want you to overdose or anything. Quick question, you don't cut yourself, right? I always thought the people who had depression were the weird kids in school that cut themselves and walk around like they hate life. You don't seem like that type of person. Every time I see you, you're so full of life and making others laugh until they have tears and stomach pains. I don't know, I would have never pictured you as someone with depression.

Anyways, why are you so depressed? I mean, your parents give you anything you ask for. If I had your life, I wouldn't be so miserable all the time like you. Plus, I thought you would have to go through something traumatic in your life to ever become depressed and from the looks of it, your life has always been good. I don't know, this is all so confusing to me. To be honest with you, I think you're just going through your teenage years and acting out because you want attention. You need to shake this off right away, it's not funny anymore and people are starting to get worried.

You're supposed to be tough, real men don't get depressed.

Sincerely,

Society
