As did i , lol <| sep |> I don ' t think the environmental aspect has much to do with it , my college is close to my home and I recognize many of the students going there . I ' m not sure how puberty would fit into this though . I actually went through a depression that lasted throughout high school which where I ' m from , is grade 711 that no one knew about . My family only found out I was depressed in grade 10 when I tried to commit suicide and I finally told them how I was feeling . I was never open about my internal problems and was able to hide how I was feeling really well . So , seeing as how I was depressed throughout highschool yet still able to socialize doesn ' t make sense . Also , seeing a doctor is out of the question , it ' d just be another burden on my family . Thank you though , I really appreciate the fact that you offered me advice .
