...ds are never really there for me, ever. I have no one I can turn to when things go wrong. People are mean and my family isn't really supportive. My life is messed up, just like me. My love life is at a bare zero (I think that is all it ever was and always be). Mind/Body/Soul: My mind is ruined with my problems. Additionally, I am having problems with my body. I do wish to be thin and more attractive and all that shit. I have problems will my soul, wait... I don't have no soul! Life: MY LIFE IS MESSED UP. THE END!! "I'm Depressed" Really I don't think anything can fix this, I don't get along with people, I'm not mean (actually i consider myself nice to others), but i really hate people. So Immature. People my age is so IMMATURE! "I'm Depressed" This is how I am feeling, how i always felt and always will feel. Teen Depression: Prevention, Detection and Causes "I'm depressed." You might say it casually to refer to sadness that engulfs you and then goes away. But depression is also a mental health illness that may require help from an experienced professional. About ten percent of Americans suffer from a depressive illness. Some experts estimate that four to five percent of adolescents suffer from teen depression. If you suffer from clinical depression, you can't just "pull yourself together" and get better. Professional intervention is necessary. Because most depressed young adults do not seek help on their own, your parents, teachers, school counselors and coaches have to recognize the symptoms and know something about teen suicide facts and signs. Without treatment, your illness can last for weeks, months, years, or a lifetime and can have impact on all aspects of your life. High Risk Factors For Teen Depression The following situations indicate that you may be at risk: traumatic events or changes in your life (an abusive parent, divorce, death of a loved one, or breaking up with a longtime girlfriend or boyfriend, for example) difficult coping with your anger problems in school lifestyle changes such as weight loss, weight gain, or difficulty sleeping a desire to drink alcohol or use drugs an interest in violence or a growing fear of violence. As the rate of teen depression rises, so does the incidence of suicide. An estimated eighty percent of adolescents contemplating suicide will give clues that they are suicidal. One of your friends may have indicated that he or she wants to "give up" or "end the misery." If you suspect that someone you know is desperate for help, tell an adult—a teacher, a counselor, or a coach. If they ignore you, tell someone else.
