Teen Depression: Why Teens Feel This Way






Teen depression is a challenge that many modern teens face. There is no way to avoid this problem for many teens, as self-confidence and image are coupled together as a major factor for them. With the internet riddled with pictures of an unrealistic person, one that is as thin as she is pretty, it's no wonder that many teens may struggle. Teen bullying is on the rise, with modern innovations such as social media and the internet adding to the problem. Peer pressure is constant as it has been for many generations, making the need for friends more prevalent than our teens’ own personal safety and health.

Teens don't feel depressed because they are mentally ill, but more because they are feeling stressed. Stress is more of a factor when it comes to depression than actual mental illness, except in specialized cases. Any teen can feel depressed and have bad thoughts, no matter how popular people think they are. Teens feel bad because they are in a world in which they struggle constantly to find a place where they belong. Sometimes, this struggle can be overwhelming. A teen may become depressed and have bad thoughts, ones of hopelessness and self-harm. This doesn't mean you are a freak or sick, but more that you are human. Don't give up the fight. What you are feeling doesn't have to be permanent, and there are ways of getting help.

Teens suffer from depression because of society’s cruel demeanor. Teens can get help. The first step for a teen is telling someone you trust about how you feel. Don't be afraid of treatment. It works and will help you to be as great as you really can be. In each and every person there is a star waiting to be born. Life is worth living, and you can feel good again. Don't let depression take away your remaining years of happiness, which are many. Teen depression will only have power over you if you let it.

Finally, I want you to know that teen depression can be an early warning sign of greater problems. Don't let teen depression control you. Take back your life and defeat this seemingly awe-inspiring foe before it is too late. You can overcome depression and live a great life, full of friends, happiness, and your future.
