That has been going on for quite some time with young kids.
Not just for Zoloft but SSRI's in general.

I started taking Zoloft at a young age at 16 yrs old and never got any suicidal tendencies.

No kid should really be on SSRI's until they are older.

I took Zoloft for Depression, Anxiety and PTSD and it worked wonders for me.

Parents need to be aware of how their child is reacting to any medication, not just anti-depressants.

Some people miss the warning signs, and it's a terrible thing.

But I think it's not for every child no.

But it has happened therefore the warnings need to be in place.

Like i said Zoloft has been wonderful for me, I had no such tendencies at 16 when I first got on the drug.

I'm sure you will be fine. Try not to think the worse ....

I never had an adverse reaction.

Not everyone will have an adverse reaction, they don't happen very often at all.

But with all medications there is always a chance of an adverse reaction depending if you are on any other medications and so forth.

Try not to worry about it, you will be fine hon.
