I'm 16+ taking a break from homeschool for a while for personal reasons. Parents had me sign up for this program during the day for my depression. Today was my third time going and the workers there keep asking me the same questions. I honestly am kind of getting annoyed they keep asking these 2 questions "do you have thoughts of self harm?" I say "not as much as before" and "have you had sex with the opposite gender?" "Nope I don't even like the opposite gender." They asked me again today and I said "No I freaking hate the opposite genders parts I hate it why do you keep asking me just write it down that I don't like the opposite gender and also seriously write down I don't self harm recently too." They still are probably gonna ask me same things again this week. was I rude? I was just annoyed they asked like 5 times

I am sorry you are getting frustrated Koolz. What you are experiencing though is that the people that are asking you questions are doing this as part of their procedure. While you may not be feeling like self harming, some patients can fluctuate from day to day. They try to get a sense of what a patient is like from one day to the next so they can have a baseline they can use that is specific to each patient.

I was seriously upset when my T asked me about my self-harm and reported it to my parents, even making me show them to my parents when they picked me up. It's because you're a minor. It's their job to ask because they are legally bound to report any self-harm and suicidal behavior. I don't really get why they ask about sex though. I guess it's another one of those "because you're a minor" thing.

I have been thru the UK welfare system, and they do have to ask you about self breach day to judge your stability over a period of time.
So try to understand that.
However inquiries about your sex life or preferences are unusual, unless someone, i.e. a parent has raised a specific concern.
It's not unusual for parents to look to outside factors when their children are depressed because they want to blame someone or something that isn't in their control.
Still I don't see the benefit to pushing you repeatedly.
Do you think you could say, to them,

"I have answered this question several times, I would like to know why your asking, or you think it's Important. Because I don't understand why it's Important."

Just one other question Koolz. Are you comfortable with your sexuality and gender. I only ask cos I am trying to understand why they are taking this line of questioning.
Try to stay calm. The quickest way to be rid of them is to answer their questions and move on.

Take care.

The opposite gender question sounds strange to me. Is it a Christian program out of curiosity? I really like Erebos's advice to you. If you are comfortable, tell them you have answered them before, and why are they asking and it doesn't seem important.

pretty much every time I talk to my Doc or someone like them they ask me the same question about the self harm and it is very irritating that that always ask this but it is what they " Have to ask" . I think that the last time I was asked that ( a few days ago) I said you asking me this is really making me think that I should be doing self harm. of course I was just being sarcastic but the Doc wasn't impressed so I retracted what I said and explained my Frustration.
