Good correction. Thanks.

Depression is real. Depression can be debilitating.

As a trained educator I have seen too many kids diagnosed with something. It's a sad commentary on our current parents and students. Yes, there are real conditions.
The last time I was in a classroom the medical list was provided to all teachers. About 50% of students were diagnosed with something. Then we had one quiet kid that acted out one time. Very minor but sufficient to send to principals office. After extensive testing by all of the professionals, it came back that he was diagnosed with a learning disability - named - "Undiagnosed". He was an average good kid. Never any other issues. But now he has a label.

Yes, some kids should see a therapist. But just because some kid is not the smartest, or the prettiest, or the most popular - doesn't mean he/she needs medical treatment.

Sounds like every kid that has just completed their first week at a new school. Give it some time, you can't expect the comfort and love to come in just a few days, it's not realistic, and you'll stir yourself into a knot if you think it should be.

I am not unsympathetic, just pointing out that your experience is not unique.

We moved to a new (much bigger) town the summer before my Freshman year. It was really rough for a bit but you'll make new friends, you'll get involved in some clubs, you'll find your place academically.

Also, don't be afraid to drop down to French II if you are struggling in French III. This will not make or break your scholastic goals. Maybe that is just what you need to get on track with their books there.

It's either that or start begging your parents to move back to Milford.
