Editor's Notes
- Stressing over classes, grades and tests can cause you to become depressed, especially if you’re expected to excel at all costs or are beginning to struggle with your course load.
- Popularity is important to most teens, and a lack of it can be very upsetting. The appearance of peer pressure to try illicit drugs, drinking or other experimental behaviour can also be traumatic for teens that aren’t eager to give in, but are afraid of damaging their reputation through refusal.
- In adolescence, romantic entanglements become a much more prominent and influential part of life. From breakups to unrequited affection, there are a plethora of ways in which budding love lives can cause teens to become depressed.
- The death of a loved one, instances of abuse or other traumatic events can have a very real impact on anyone, causing them to become depressed or overly anxious. Sometimes separating parents or any other matter in close proximity, can be a prime reason for depression.
- Though you may seem like a fiercely independent being that wants or needs nothing from your parents, you still have emotional and physical needs for attention. The lack of parental attention on either level can lead to feelings of depression.
- Being a teenager isn’t easy on the self-esteem. From changing bodies to the appearance of pimples it seems as if Mother Nature herself is conspiring against you to affect your self-confidence. When the self-esteem level drops below a certain point it’s common to get depressed.
