Here's what other kids had to say:

Sarah,9 i know how you feel my grandpa died about a year and one month now, it still is really hard for me. I cry about him all the time even during school. I know its hard to cry in front of my mom because she always hugs me to death and cries too.

@Katie, 12 - i don't want to soundd all Debbie Downer, but i wouldn't be shocked if youu did have manic depression. i mean, i have it, and the up-down thing pretty much comes withh the territory :\
--Alice, 13

I can't tell what's going wrong with me, because I'm happy and then I have a sense like there is no reason to live and then back again. I'm having trouble writing this right now so I'm stopping now.
--Leo, 11

Who here has scoliosis like me?-johnlennonfan
--Hannah

I know what you mean, Sarah. My parents don't care about anything. For some reason, I get all energetic and happy, but then I go down again. I'm starting to think that I have maniac depression.
--Katie, 12

My parents didn't appreciate any work that I did. I just sit in my room for HOURS and cry myself to sleep. I don't know what to do. It just makes me really sad...
--Sarah, 11

Every single night since my great uncle died (in the middle of summer), I look to see if anyone is watching and I cry. I wonder if that night is the last night I'll see my parents or my grandparents or my brothers - you know what I mean. I just can't help it. I don't want my parents to find out I do this. I can't live through this any longer. Please help me.
--Sarah, 9

I was very depressed because I was very heartbroken, and now, I have a boyfriend, still not happy.
--Brianne, 13

For some reason, I got madly obssesed with the dude I like, which I am dealing with, but I was like, bursting with happiness. Then, when my brother said my friend couldn't come over, I understood he was trying to protect me, because my friend has a cough, but I took it really hard for some reason and yelled and stuff. But it was really hard because we just made up, and a lot can happen between us really fast! We can end our friendship in less than an hour.

--R.Stacy, 10

I used to have giant self-confidence, but ever since the 6th grade I have been breaking down little by little. I cry if I am criticized, I fear going to a certain class, and I have been having tremendous help-doubt. Maybe it is just puberty? Or is it something else?
--Lizzie
