With all due respect Molinit, unless you have an MD degree in Psychiatry I don't think you have the authority to say my daughter is depressed. I'd never deny someone treatment if they really needed it. My daughter has had healthy relationships prior to this incident and has even stuck up for other people when they were being bullied. She makes good grades and participates in after school sports. But she does have a quiet nature about her. Could this mess trigger a depressive episode? Maybe. If she starts to find it hard to function and starts refusing to go to school, will I seek help from a counselor? Yes. If she tells me she wants to go to a counselor, will I take her? Yes. I'm always evaluating situations for the right action to take. I'm sorry you had the experience you did in your teen years, but that does not mean that's the same situation here. Thanks for your input.
