Why might some teens be reluctant to seek help when they feel depressed?

because some parents are very strict to their child & when their child is depressed they say “oh your fine your just a little upset or you’re not depressed just go to your room” that’s why some teens don’t reach out to their parents because they know what their parents are gonna say .

They might not feel like other people will understand

They don't feel comfortable talking about how they feel

They are embarrassed

It can be uncomfortable
