[QUOTE="keista, post: 474649, member: 11965"] "If I die young, bury me in sun, lay me down on a bed of roses" this is a line from a current popular song. There are a few others out there, so it's possible he's picking up such thoughts from songs. Does he ride the bus to school? Some bus drivers play the radio, and this song has been on one of my local "family friendly" stations. It's possible that he's just "sick" of flag football. Does he play well? Does he get and follow the rules? Team sports can be very difficult for kids with ADHD. [B]TeDo[/B] is right about how depression can manifest in kids. It can also manifest in a more traditional way with extreme sadness and loss of interest which in kid speak may be boredom. My DD1 spent 2 years crying herself to sleep and occasionally wishing she was dead. I thought it was depression. For her it was more anxiety pushing her into depression. She'd have intrusive thoughts because she could not sleep, these thoughts would make her worry and upset resulting in a depressed manifestation. She now takes melatonin at night resulting in very little time for intrusive thoughts to enter, and now little or no depressive manifestation. She still suffers from some daytime boredom, but not even close to the extent of when she was younger. [/QUOTE]
