Q: Who Can I Talk To?

Hi guys, I am 15 years old. I would like to talk to someone about my depression and eating problems and stuff because I have simply had enough of this s**t.
But here's the thing, I don't want my parents to be involved for a lot of good reasons.
My question is can I talk to a counselor or doctor without my parents knowing?

Thank you so much for replying. Are these numbers for america (that's where I live)

i hope you don't have to resort to calling these numbers like you said and end up like me- I have an eating disorder and depression no one knows about.

Ermmm, i'm pretty sure they will work for america :)
i live in the uk, you see.

If they don't (i'm sure they will) go onto Google and type in childline or somthing, and they should have lots of numbers for you! :)
i hope I never do have to ring up, but i'm a little stressed somtimes, and I can't really talk to anybody.

If you use msn, or just want a chat,i'm here to talk anytime!

Xxx

ps- i'm female, 14, uk. :d

Will someone please halp me, i'm 13 and was bullied really badly at primary school, althought its nots as bad now it still happens and really hurts, it feels like everyone hates me.

I'm under so much pressure to do well from peers and teachers, coz i'm clever everyone expects me to be perfect and when i get any thing wrong a get murdered for it.

I'm consantly thinking of sucicde but can't bring myself to it. I've tried twice in the last 6 months but couldn't force myself to do enough harm.

I rely don't no what to do coz last time I rang childline i told my mum in a letter coz i couldn't tell her face to face, but anyway my sister told everyone and my problems just got worse. so now i really dont trust anyone. I've had councilling but it doesn't help at all and now i'm seriously deperate.

I know i suffer from depression but my mum doesn't. Please help me i am really really deperate and waant to get my life back on track. Please someone help me.
