Feeling completely happy one day,
then as blue as raindrops is totally normal, but now we need to look at the
difference between sadness and depression. You have shown some symptoms of
depression, but you could just be really sad. Depression is a long-lived low
mood and can be caused by life events like the one you have recently experienced,
and on the other hand, sadness is a short-lived low emotion. What happened to
you occurred a few days ago, so right at this moment, it may to be able to tell
if you have depression. If this dark feeling goes away soon, then you have just
gone through a major mood swing, but if you still feel very low, go get help.
You must speak with a trusted adult, then go to a doctor, who will diagnose you
with depression or assure you your mental health is all good. Remember, only a
doctor can actually give you the diagnosis of depression. The doctor will do so
through gathering results of the patient’s symptoms, signs, and written
surveys. The process of diagnosis is unique compared to a physical exam, but there
is nothing to worry about. I hope you feel better soon!

Answer:                                                                                                                                   Hello Ryder,

Wow, life has been pretty rough
on you lately, but everyone has their ups and downs. At the moment, your life
has gone downhill, and you perhaps are feeling very down. It is normal to feel
sad or unhappy at times, and right now, there is a source occurring within you
that may be playing a huge part of your sudden emotion. A life-changing phenomenon
is happening live within you, and most know this as puberty! You probably knew
that already, but a result of puberty is your changing hormones. The changing
of hormones causes mood swings, which is self explanatory, but in case you didn’t
know, your mood changes constantly from one end of the spectrum to the other.

Hello Fiona Nicole,
A couple of days ago, my girlfriend dumped me after cheating on me with my best friend at a bush party I did not know she went to. I don’t have school, since it is the summer, but I usually go out to the court and shoot some hoops. For some reason, for the past few days, I have been stuck in my bed. I am very confused. Last month, I was incredibly happy, with girlfriend, popularity and all, until recently. Now, I feel really mopey and super tired, and this is surprising, as I am an athletic person. After watching Marley and Me, a movie I have repeatedly watched as a child, I was bawling my eyes out. I am always so sad and for the first time considered suicide. I know both people I love most in the world besides my family, my girlfriend and best friend, have betrayed me, but I feel so unhappy and worst than I should. It is not cool for a guy like me to overreact. What is happening to me?
- Ryder D.

Back to your question, if this
boy decides to tease you again, respond either by going along with the joke by
saying something like “Oh ya, if I’m a BIG MAC, does that make you a French fry,”
or confront him and say in similar words “I do not like the way you joke about
my body. I love my body, and if you have a problem with that, fine, but don’t
tease me like that because I do not like it.” I know this may be hard, with the
extra nervousness of being around someone you like, but you need to take
action. Usually, if you do either of the two, the teasing will continue to be
good-natured and ongoing between you two or stop completely. You want this
teasing to stop, so if this light-hearted teasing goes on, let him know you are
not happy with it, and most likely he will quit his actions. If the teasing
becomes worst and he begins to hurt you more, both verbally and physically, then
he is bullying you with most likely malicious intentions. As soon as possible,
tell a trusted adult at school, church, youth group, or at home about the
bullying, and they will help you stop the bullying from continuing. 

Even if the teasing is not
supposed to be offensive, joking about one’s body is not okay. If the victim is
okay with the whole exchange, depending on the circumstances, technically this
is okay, but on my personal opinion, no one should ridicule you for how you
look, but instead accept you for who you are. True friends and nice people do
so, so my extra, not completely relevant tip for you is to choose who you hang
out with wisely! Good luck with that boy!

Answer:                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Hello Mria,

I am happy to know you have good
self-esteem and love the skin you’re in! I admire the acceptance you have of
yourself and your confidence! I am not sure if you know the difference between teasing
and bullying. The seriousness of the teasing depends upon the intention of the
person teasing and how the victim reacts. Everyone teases others, including
myself. Most of the time, teasing is good-natured. How the teasing is perceived
by the victim changes the whole game. If they respond back teasingly, or remain
neutral about it, there is not a problem, but if they are really offended or
take it in as verbal harassment, that is bad and a completely different story.
Keeping the latter in mind, teasing can lead into bullying.

Hello Fiona Nicole,
Today at school, the boy I like grabbed my arm and shook it. He and his friends were laughing at my arm because apparently “it jiggled like marmalade jelly.” I am aware of my obesity, and the excess fat I have on my body. Unlike other girls with my condition, I feel completely comfortable and secure with the body I have. Although I am fine with the skin I am in, I still am bullied for the size my body. The fact that people bully me hurts me more than anything. This boy has been teasing me because of my weight for about a month now. He has only called me names like “BIG MAC,” and poked my arm once. Today was the first time he has done anything physical. I am not sure about his intentions behind what he does, as he is usually nicer to me at school during classes we have together. I am worried about this becoming worst, but he isn’t seriously harassing me or anything. Even though, I want this to stop. How can I get him to stop teasing me? (P.S. I would not consider this bullying though.)
- Mria K.

If you are no longer allowed to
live with your parents, seek a place to spend the night, like your local women’s
shelter or youth safe house. There, you can stay with the comfort of safety
from troubles, and a place of temporary refuge. Speak with you counsellor for
other housing options if it comes to that point.  As you mentioned that your pregnancy test
results were positive, this means you are highly likely to be pregnant. I
recommend paying a visit as soon as possible to the nearest health clinic. There,
they will help you decide what to do with your baby, giving you more
information, leading you to doctors and specialists who can help you. As you
will be told at the clinic, foster-care, adoption, and motherhood are the other
options besides abortion, as you are not for that. I will be praying for you
and your child, and hope for the best! Feel free to email me if you have any
other questions!

Hello Brianna,

I am sincerely sorry to hear
about what happened to you and how your parents treat you. Before I say
anything else, I would like to emphasize, please don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Rape is a serious crime, and there are people out there who will help you. Call
the 24 hour crisis line, (604) 872-8212, to
report the sexual assault you have experience. You must be immediately tested for sexually transmitted infections, as you do not know the health status of this man who assaulted your. Afterwards, in viewing the links
to rape crisis centres and women shelters in your area, please go to the one
closest to you if no one at home can offer you support after this terrible occurrence.
Moral support helps most through situations like the one you are experiencing
yourself, but even without your parents or friends there for you, receiving help
from your local church, school, and relatives are always available options.
Please talk to an adult you can trust, like your youth pastor or a teacher you
feel comfortable speaking with. Your experience is one not to be ashamed of,
this is NOT your fault. By all means, do not blame yourself for anything. See a
school counsellor or youth worker to let out how you feel, they will listen
you, and will not tell anything to anyone else, but there are exceptions, like
abuse or assault. This person cannot keep rape a secret, and will help you tell
your parents if you have difficulty speaking to them.

Hello Fiona Nicole,
I am 16, but already a high school drop-out. My parents are not supportive, and have verbally abused me for as long as I have remembered. The only thing that has held me together was my Christian faith. One day, as I was walking down an alley, this strange man approached me and the next moment there I was, laying on the hard cement, with my virginity lost. I did the pregnancy test and I got positive results. If my parents find out I am pregnant, they literally will kill me, and I don't know who to talk to since I do not have any friends. As I am a strong Christian, I do not want an abortion, I would like to keep the baby. Please help me out, what can I do?
