"Wake Up" Your Life: A Life-Line for Teen Depression
Let's be honest...
Being a teen is stressful. We have school, maybe a job, maybe sports. There's relationships and dating. And of course, all that drama. You know what we're talking about. It gives a person a lot to think about. And a lot to worry about.
Then one day you wake up and it feels like everything just collapsed at once. Say, you have a bunch of tests this week and huge projects due, your boss seems to be angry at you, you just lost the biggest game of the season, you just broke up with that special someone, and you're having a fight with your best friend. You just feel like you can't continue.
You're not alone. Every teen goes through depression, and some feel like there's only one way out. They feel like they need to do the permanant solution.
Stop.
We know what it's like. We're teens too. Sometimes all you need is someone to talk to. You need to vent your feelings. That's what we're here for.
"Wake Up" Your Life is an anonymous program we've set up to help teens going through hard times. We want to give you a helping hand. If you are ever having a hard time please talk to us. You don't have to tell us your name if you don't want to and we won't judge you. We just want to listen and help anyway we can. Contact us by e-mail or any other method to talk to us.
Teen suicide and similar things such as cutting are not going to make problems disappear. They are permanant solutions to temporary problems.
The Bible says that we are on a journey through life. There will be highs and lows and we will always get through the lows. We believe that the reason God puts hardships in our lives is so that we really appreciate the good things. Also in our times of weakness his true power is displayed in our faith. When we are stressed we turn to God and he helps us. We want to help you to build your life upon the Rock.
You can talk to us about anything.
