Can jokes go a little far, and I'm not usually sensitive in that way

And I'm not talking about jokes about politics or race, I'm talking about when peels joke about depressive ideals. First, I understand that it could be a coping mechanism because I do this sometimes... But sometimes it's a bit much. Mmm i don't wanna be judgy, but there's Syu last these two kids in my school that go a bit much to the point that it's about attention, but more of the general attention than "Please help me." For me, at least for me, I keep everything to myself, thus why I started writing here, it's just a lot to handle. I just think that I don't deserve other's attention or care, so I can't tell anyone about how I'm actually feeling. I'm say I'm sad but I can never get myself to say why, or at least, the real reason why. Anyway, back to the jokes. It's the kind that makes them look more depressed than you. Like, "I didn't do the work, so I dressed up like this (sweat pants and long sleeve) so the teacher thinks I'm in a depressive phase and allow me to turn it in next week." Or just random outbursts of "I'm depressed." Now, wait, you probably think I'm insensitive. But what tone r u reading this in? These people talk in a tone that is hecka exaggerating and fake. I'm just so confused if it's still a mechanism. It's just so much that it makes me feel bad for them when my problems could be just as bad. Their words and way they joke around about depression makes me feel like, maybe I'm just settling for attention too. Or, maybe I'm not actually depressed compared to her/him. When in reality I'm in a constant cycle of negativity, bad thoughts, feeling sad and hurt, and holding everything in while declining my inner belief that I need to seek help. I feel manipulated by these words. I feel selfish when I think that I'm depressed and I want to ask for help, leading to to telling someone my problems. I also take depression seriously because it's a lot. Sure I joke, but never enough to trigger someone nor do so frequently. Idk... What do u think+

Losing Who I Am to Him

You should see a doctor about your depression. If these people make a joking matter of depression ignore them. They won't stop for you so take no notice and try to keep away from them. If religion was still in the schools everyone in school would have God in their lives and maybe these things wouldn't happen. You bring God into your life and ask Him to help you. Read the Bible and form a relationship with Him, and come to know His son, Jesus.
