“My family doesn’t really care about mental health, and when I asked for mental help they shot me down and said I was smarter than that. I don’t know how to get the help I need.”

I say that you need to ask your school counselor to talk to your parents about it, but if that doesn’t work, you can always confide in either them, or if you really need to, you can confide in me. I know that doesn’t sound very helpful but sometimes it’s all you need!
