Teen depression??

hi im doing an assignment on the stressors in an adolescents life and how this can lead to depression!! i was wondering what factors lead to people being depressed and what is done about this?? if anyone knows anything about depression or know stories about adolescents who suffer from it your help would be really be appreciated thanks jess

I may not be a good example since my depression is caused by Bipolar disorder but Seeing everyone doing something that I could never do or see people "Together" these things can be VERY depressing but there are other reasons such as believing you are a failure to live up to other peoples expectations, another would be being overworked I have noticed that many teens have way more things to do then they can handle and they have no time to relax and the stress can build up to a point were they just shut down and give up and it can be very hard to get out of that rut. I hope this helps you. IM me if you need more info.

One of the main things that stressed out my god son was the fact that he left his state (GA) and relocated to a new state (N.Y) for the last two years of high school. He had a real problem making new friends

All depression results from Rejection.

Well, i was dianosed with anxiety and depression when i was 18 years old. Alot of stressors caused that to happen. I moved out of my parents house when i was 16, i lived with friends for a while, lived with a boyfriend and his family, i was thrown into working full time and constantly worrying about money along with being in a fulltime relationship. Things were definately difficult, i just started to go into a shell, i didn't want to talk to people, i was scared to be around people that i didn't know well. I would get so sick when i found out i was supposed to go some where with people, that in turn, i spent the night in the bathroom. well, i went to a research study clinic, and the medicine that they tried on me happened to work! I was so excited because i had tried things before that didn't work. I hope this helps you! Good luck on your assignment.

hey
Im 18 and was dinosed to depression approx 2 years ago. Resalts of poor comfindance and teasing all thorugh my school years and added presure to be "perfect" at sport etc.

I hated the way i looked bcoz of people would sya to me.. and yer

Sum awful happend also when i was 15 and made my feeling sum what worse. I didnt wanna live..

I guess teasing and peer presure push teens to the edge.

Well I do not think there ever was any teenager who did not suffer of depression. This comes with this age when all kinds of new things happen around teenage people, and of course, inside teenage people. But this will stop with time...depends on how fast do you grow up.

i went through teen depression and im 33 yrs old now just be around loved ones and get out and socialize and dont isolate and get in to therapy and on medications
