First article draft 1

Self harming, suicide, anxiety. All common symptoms of dealing with depression. Depression can occur of any gender of any age. However as the years have gone on, the rise of depression within teenagers has increased by 70 percent in the last 25 years. 

The majority of citizens age 30 and above can agree with the fact that the generation that teenagers now grow up in is completely different from what they had grew up in and this has had a very big impact on teenagers today. There were not much stresses or expectations in the olden days in the content of what teenagers now worry about such as the brand of clothing they have got, their friends/social life, appearance and many others. These are common factors that teenagers now a days deal with.

As the years have gone on, depression has been something has been more widely spoken about and accepted however depression within teenagers is more common than what people think. Teenagers now a day are put under an extense amount of pressure from parents, society and growing up in general which can really take a toll on the way they feel. Depression can be caused by different factors including:

-        Family problems

-        Finical problems

-        Divorced parents

-        Bullying at school

-        Peer pressure

-        School stress

The points listed above are just a few factors that can cause teenagers to fall into depression. However there are many more facilities that are available in order to get help such as concilers, help lines, family/friends yet why are teenagers not able to go talk to someone about what they are feeling whether they think they are suffering from depression or not?  Due to the constant strain of different factors expected in their life, teenagers feel as if they are confined with what they are feeling and usually brush it off because they have so much going on in their life. One of the main causes of anxiety/depression is through the stress of school and high expecattaions that are put in place by family.Research that was conducted by The mental Health Charity states that they have found that exams are a big trigger in more mental illness within young teenagers including depression.Furthermore teenagers feel as if they are not able to talk to anyone about what they are feeling as they will be considered weak or as if they are going through a phase as they are ‘hormonal’. Therefore no one is really taking them seriously which makes them feel confide in the content of who they can talk to and who they can go to. This is not an easy subject to talk about.

Depression. I'm sure that you would of heard someone in your family or atleast someone who was aorund you mention this work. Individuals deal with depression differently according to what they feel fit however depression does not only affect and hurt the individual who is going through it but also effects the people around them which can leave a very big impact in their life. This may not mean anything to you as you may of never had anyone whom you know personally who has suffered from depression. Today I am going to be talking about a teenager whom name I am going to keep anonymous and how someone in her family dealt with depression and her own story. In this article  I will be referring to the teenager as Lauren.

Lauren had a very happy childhood however on July 20th 2004 someone who was very close to Lauren had passed away. Her auntie Julie. Julie had committed suicide when Lauren was only 8 years old and when Julie had passed away it left a big dent in Laurens life in the way that her family acted and her view on depression itself. As the years went on Julie was spoken about occasionally within family conversations, however as Julies anniversary went past, Lauren could not help to wonder how life would have been like if she and her Aunt Julie around and what she would be like. From these constant thoughts Lauren had slowly drifted into grief but pulled herself out of it. After experiencing this during her Junior year she decided she wanted to create awareness of depression and felt that it needed to be done in justice of her Auntie Julie.

Gathering friends, Lauren planed a convocation which would be held at a variety of different high schools including her own and this was the first project that Lauren had conducted herself and was socially done. The project was called Down with Depression which included 50 hours of planning and fundraising of $2000 however Lauren wanted to make sure that during these talks she would educate and inform the audience of how she felt losing her auntie and depression in general and this overall had a very big impact on the wide number of audiences she was educating.

This story was very heart-warming due to how much courage Lauren had and the way she went about educating people about depression. As a teenager you are not often aware of your surrondings and what people are going through because you are too busy living your own life. Anyone, of any age can suffer from depression and there is many ways to get help,support and one of the most common ways that is used is support groups. Support groups are very common as they are a very common way that many people use as it can be accessed online or by referal by your GP.  This is one example of a method that is widely used across people who suffer from depression.


This is a very inspirational story that we should all considered. You are not alone with depression and if you need any help there are a variety of different ways you can get help. Depression is not something to be ashamed off, it is very common and getting the right help will help in you leading a normal, happy life. Depression does not define you!
