I was depressed all thru high school, and that was many years ago. There were LOADS of kids back then, so I don't know if they would have had time to notice or not. Our city wasn't that big (12,000) but the high school had a whole lot of kids for the size of the city (about 1,200 or so) so the counselors/teachers didn't know every kid in school!! And since it was in the 60's and our city was a melting pot, it was during the Detroit Riots (I live in Michigan) and we had our own riots even in school - we lived about 80 miles from Detroit. So it got a bit dangerous for a couple of years!! The teachers didn't have time to talk to any kids.

So I didn't get any counseling -- or even think about it since they had too many other things on their minds. I would have liked to -- but didn't get counseling until I was in my 20's and finally saw a therapist.
