My parents and some strangers used to ask if I was depressed all the time when I was as young as 9 (I was) and I would always lie to them and say no, terrified of being medicated or thought of as a freak. I'm trying to break out of that cycle of pretending I'm ok all the time. I guess my point is that I experienced that as a child also!
