The death of a relative, friend, or pet can bring weeks or months of sad feelings. Other kinds of loss can also bring sadness, like people close to you getting a divorce or moving to a new town and leaving old friends. With this sadness, you might also feel angry or guilty, like you may have caused the loss - but you probably did not . Sometimes it is hard to think straight because you cannot get your mind off your loss. Usually, the load of sadness you carry after a loss will lighten over time, although there may always be a little bit of sadness left.
Relationships bring happiness and fun most of the time, but they can also bring sad times.

Other kids, both friends and enemies, can cause hurt feelings and sadness through fighting, teasing , peer pressure, not giving you support, or leaving you out of group activities. Self-Image , the way you feel about yourself, can be a big reason for sad feelings.
