I've been acting strangely and one of my friends started to get really worried about it, so she asked me to take a depression quiz online. All six of the quizzes said I had depression. I'm really scared and I don't know what to do. I can't tell anyone because they won't really care. I am scared and lonely. What should I do? Thanks for helping.

Dear Kate,
There are a number of reasons for your depression and the most important thing you can do now is to see a doctor. If you cannot do that through your family, go to the school doctor and ask for help. Before you go, make a list of your symptoms (症状). If you understand the reasons for your feelings and behavior, you can begin to find out goodsolutions. And you should not do that again.
Your friend is worried about you, and that friend can help you make a full list of symptoms and questions for the doctor. I'm sure you can find an adult. The adult should care about your problem. I hope my suggestions will help you a lot.
