Message to Teenagers

A brief break from comedy. Message to teenagers (especially guys ages 14-18). Prompted by a recent Columbine "near miss" and some communication I've had with a YouTube teenager who isn't happy.

Good quote from the comments: "Well there is circumstantial depression and clinical depression. Also, clinical depression may be brought on by circumstantial depression. It is extremely important to be aware that if you feel depressed you may not be able to control it solely by determination."
