What can I do about teenage depression?

I am 13 and my sister and father dont EVER get along. She never does what i say or what he says. I am really depressed about it because it happens almost everyday. There are huge fights and yelling and screaming and crying.


I am quite embarrassed by asking this question because i dont usually complain.


Please dont criticise.What can I do about teenage depression?
You are not responsible for your father and sister fighting, although I have a feeling that maybe she is missing somebody that is important to her. If you talk to her like her boss, instead of her sister, she will probably resent the fact that she's lost her sister, and I think she needs a sister right now more than ever....What can I do about teenage depression?
Well, first of all, please understand that it's not your job to ';fix'; your sister or to parent her. That's your dad's job and if he's relying on you to do that, he's being very unfair.





Now, go talk to your school's counselor. If he/she won't listen, talk to a friend's mom whom you can trust. And if the friend's mom won't listen, make an appointment with your doctor and talk to him/her.





Please don't be embarassed. And please don't think it's your job to ';fix'; this situation with your family.
Well sweety u really can't do anything about your sister having fights with your dad..I'm taking a shot in the dark here but i am guessing that your sister is older than u and she is going through the rebel years of her life..since u didn't give a reason for the fighting...i am guessing that your dad is yelling at her for what she is doing with her life right now...staying out all night...not doing chores..hanging with wrong crowd...if this is the case...then don't feel depressed..beleave it or not it's normal..might not seem that way to u right now...but it is..many households where there are more then one girl growing up..u have the day and night effect...meaning u and your sister are different from each other as day and night..i assume u are the one that listens..does pretty good in school..does chores and is always there when it comes to family...and your sister is oppisit of u...if i am right with the little info that u gave..then don't worry sweety this is normal
tough spot.


i'm sad a lot of the time too. i'm 15 and a freshman in high school and everything just weighs down on me. but problems at home are difficult. i don't really have any advice to help you, wish i did though. i hope everything turns out alright.
Look the best thing you can do with this problem is going to a psychology he or she will take your problem and i think that you can get better with this situation. Hope it results for you. Bye
