Jeffery was a Sad Vegetable. He didn't used to always 

be sad, but one day, he couldn't remember how to be 

happy.

He stopped playing with his friends, and stopped doing 

all the things he enjoyed, he was too blue to do 

anything.   He was tired all the time, and never wanted 

to get out of bed.

He didn't want to spend time with his friends because 

handing out with them made his heart race and he 

would get nervous easily around them.   He always felt 

on edge.   He didn't feel normal, or like himself 

anymore.

Worried about his friend Jeffery, Bill came to his house 

to check on him.

"Hello, buddy," said Bill. "Where have you been?   We 

miss spending time with you."

"Hi Bill," Jeffery responded with a sad sigh "I've been 

really down lately, and I can't seem to get happy again."

Bill started to worry even more about his friend now, 

something was definitely wrong with Jeff.

"I just want to be left alone," Jeffery shouted angrily.

"Okay Jeffery," Bill said sadly as he turned to leave,

"We're worried about you, and I want to help, please 

come see us soon!"

After his friend left, Jeffery was sad again.   He didn't 

want to be alone, he didn't want his friend to see him 

hurting.

He knew he needed to do something different, but he 

didn't have the energy to make himself do anything.

For months Jeffery and his friends drifted apart, and he 

could no longer do the things he enjoyed, he shut 

himself away in his room.

All Jeff could think about was his friends talking about 

him, how mean he was, and how upset they would be 

with him for not spending time with them.   He was so 

angry he thought about hurting himself.

He wished he would have asked his friend Bill for help, 

he didn't want to be alone or sad anymore.

What Bill really did was talked to his parents about Jeff 

and how he was acting.   Bill's parents called and talked 

to Jeff's Parents.

"Son," Jeff's Mom said tenderly, "what is 

wrong?"

"Nothing mom," Jeff lied, "I'm fine."

"Jeff, we know something is wrong," his father 

pushed, "please, talk to us, we are not upset."

Jeff reluctantly told his parents how he was 

feeling.   After their conversation, his parents 

called the doctor to see how he could help.
