  • Essays 'Teenage Depression', 1.
Extract

Teen depression is a rising problem in today's society, and is also a major contributing cause for a large amount of adolescent problems. The amount of teenage runaways, alcoholism, drug problems, pregnancy, eating disorders, and suicides are startling. The frequent connection among all these teenagers is often depression. The thorny passage into adolescence and early adulthood can leave lasting scars on the lives of an entire generation of young men and women. I see teenage depression as being life-changing, even life-threatening.
