Advice for Parents Don’t take it personally, whatever your kid does, because they’re just feeling really bad inside. They’re not doing it to you, they’re just doing it because they’re kids and because they’re depressed or they’re bipolar. My mom was always calm and whenever I got angry she would say something like, "If you don’t feel safe here you might feel safe in the hospital" and she would remind me of what I was getting into. Because when you’re angry you’re often impulsive. Parents should just stay calm and not get angry back. I don’t think they should get angry at the depression, I just think they should try to get help for their kid.
