Debbie, great suggestion...school counselor. Sometimes school counselors will offer to be mediators in such discussions, inviting the parents to come chat and then you are also there. I am trying to understand though why your parents would think you don't love them because you are having depression. I would think they would consider that you do love them because you brought the problem to them.

I would like to suggest maybe you can do some research about teenage depression, print it and take the document(s) into the discussion with you. Does this sound reasonable?

I did some research, but I am not able to post the URLs (against the Guideline rules)...search engine "teenage depression" also "teenage depression talking to parents." There is lots of information out there on the Net.
