How do I tell my parents I want to go to therapy?

Me and my parents were never close like I can’t talk to them about guy stuff not even to my mom. But these past few weeks I’ve wanted to go to therapy because I feel like I have anxiety and depression and I would love to talk about it to someone who can help me. But I’m worried that they’ll be worried and ask me if everything’s going ok at school? Thank you so much for reading and please help thank you ❤️

Hi ViolonPersuasive3 :)
What you are living doesn't look easy at all. You have such a good reflex to ask for therapy, it is exactly what I think you should do. But I understand it can really be difficult to talk about it to your parents… This is absolutely normal not to know how to bring up the subject, you are not the only one to live this.

So my idea is to write them a letter. Maybe it will be easier to talk about it with words you already thought of than being in front of them and scared of their reaction, who knows! You could write in it that you don’t really want them to bombard you with questions, that you just do not feel great and need their help. It just depends on how you feel the most comfortable : speaking or writing. Or it can even be neither of them! What I mean is that you could maybe look for a documentary, an article, a movie or a song on the topic of anxiety and depression, and show it to your parents so they can better understand your reality. I am sure there are so many on the Internet that you could easily find ;)

Also, I don’t know if you know it, but if you are 14 or more, you can see a doctor, a psychologist, a counselor or any health professional without your parents’ consent. The “meeting” will be confidential and unless it is very serious, the doctor does not have the right to inform your parents of it. But you know, there aren't only psychologists to help you, there are also all your school therapists, Tel-Jeunes and many other phone services that you can contact. I give you the link to a 24/7 mental health service offered in English and French right here if you want to look at it :

I hope my message will help you a bit :) If there’s anything else you would like to share, we’ll always be there for you, never forget that. I wish you will feel better soon. Take care of yourself ❤

P-S : I’m so sorry for my English, let’s say it isn’t my best school subject ;)

Hello!
It's not easy what you're experiencing.. I think it's really good of you that you want to go see a psychologist, it's really a good idea. I would like to start by telling you that if you are 14 years old and + I believe that you can go to the CLSC without your parents knowing. I also advise you to try to tell your parents in a simple and respectful way. If they do not listen and do not understand, I advise you to go talk to a TES at school! I hope I helped!

Hi!
Hope you are doing a little better today :/

I totally understand how you feel. Know that you are not alone in this and that you are right when you say you want to talk to someone to be understood. That's a feeling everybody wants so I think it's normal you feel that way.

I loved the letter idea. Could be something that would help your parents to have a reflexion on.

I hope it's gonna be okay and that you will find the help you need. By the way, I just wanted to add that there may be someone at school like a psychologist or someone like that that you could try to talk to.

I hope I helped you! Remember we are here if you need anything :)) Take care xx

Durée d’un rapport

allo je voulais savoir un rapport sexuel durait combien de temps en moyenne. Je sais que ça dépend de chaque couple mais ça me rassurerait pour le futur de savoir

Est-ce qu’il le sait???

Salut! Ça va genre 4 mois que je crush sur un gars. J’espère qu’il ne le sait pas mais une de mes amies (appelant la amie 1) le rend un peu évident. Le moment qui m’a brisée c’est que mes amies et moi jouions à action ou vérité. J’ai pris action et elle m’ont dit que Amie 1 devais me pousser sur lui et que je devais lui dire un truc après. Mais quand c’est arrivé, elle m’a même pas averti et elle m’a carrément poussé dans le vide. Elle était de dos (dans le casier) donc j’avais juste l’air d’une folle qui se met à tombé juste devais lui. J’ai dit à mon crush : « Omg, my bad!! » mais il a juste side eyes mon amie. J’ai depuis une boule dans le ventre et je n’ai pas le goût de retourner à l’école. J’ai peur qu’il me trouve bizarre. Je fais quoi??

Trouble Alimentaire ??

Depuis plusieurs semaines, j'ai commencer à vraiment être insécure sur mon poids et j'avais déja cette peur de grossir mais je ne m'empechais pas de manger, maintenant quand je décide de mange je commence a full le regrette.., je dort beaucoup et je suis toujour épuiser. Je m'isole des autres et je m'étourdie souvent c'est dernière temps..,

je suis tu normal???

Mon amie

Salut! Mon amie a des pensée suicidaire, de la dépression et elle se mutile. Moi je la connais depuis 3 mois a cause de l école secondaire mais on est devenu super proche en peu de temps. Moi, elle et plein d autre filles. Moi et une autre amie on s'en est rendu compte que cette amie là allais pas bien et donc on s est mis à noter ces comportements étrange qu elle avait. Mais je ne sais plus quoi faire pour l aider et j aimerais savoir si je suis là seule!

Merci!
