First Post - Help With My Depression!

[SammieDaBammie]

My name is Samantha, I'm 13 and a male.

My sister always says really horrible things to me, and makes threats all the time. Thankfully she hasn't followed any up yet, but I still feel scared she will. When other people say mean stuff to me I never get hurt, only when my sister does I get stung.
It's been going on for years, but I really started to feel it at the start of this year.

I usually try and do other things to distract myself, like listening to music or writing another chapter to my novels, but they only provide a temporary distraction.

I feel really crushed and helpless, like I'm unable to do anything or reach out. I'm scared that somehow, if I seek help, it will get back to my parents and they'll ask questions or treat me differently.

I've only told my friend, who I met at the start of this year. I haven't told my other friends that I've grown up with or anyone in my family.

I really hope you can give me advice on what I should do about her or ways of coping with the situation!

hello Sammie, well I think it's time you told one of your parents about this, so they can take over and discipline your sister, otherwise it's only going to continue and that's certainly not what you want.
Just remember your sister may tell them that nothings been said s she would probably do it when no one else is around, but it might be a good idea to have your friend with you so that they can verify everything you say.
If by chance you can secretly tape it that would be proof, but don't let it continue. Geoff.
