Increasing depression among teens is because of all the stress that is put on by school, and increasing cruelty nof peers. I was in eighth grade (last year) and I got sooo stressed because no matter how hard I tried in school, I failed two classes, and was tourtured by peers. And I tried commiting suicide. However depression is treatable, now that I have had it, it can come back so anyone out there with it remember it is treateable, your not alone, but it can come back.

I wrote this comment 3 years ago.. I can safely say that no, It was not really about stress. Nor was it about being in a loving enviornment. . I was 14. I was so depressed that... thinking back I can almost feel the chill in my soul remembering the way it felt. I truely believe that there was something wrong in my brain. I went to a doctor and got on medicine, and yes, talking to people helped too. Depression sometimes is a illness that just happens

@KimIsMissing So, if you instead found yourself in a loving environment, with friends all around you, and teachers who cared about your learning and explaining things to you better would you have still been depressed and have tried to commit suicide? If not, can you then see your problems are not YOUR fault at all? The fault belongs to the world around you, the lack of love and respect shown to you?

@Maehedrose I agree that some people do genuinely face physical disorders that then produce these depressive and bipolar mental states. But for most, I see a psychological basis. In other words, external situations they have been unable to process or cope with in their lives and have buried pain or an evolved ongoing hopelessness. People don't have the $ to shell out to get help for their "issues" so the levels of depression are rising as are the number of people lashing out in violence.

It's hard to forgive when you haven't placed your finger on what has hurt so badly. Sometimes we become overwhelmed and thereby trapped in our own minds indefinitely no longer able to understand what the hurts are. That is an important first step, just knowing what is wrong or hurting. As for forgiveness, I'm still working on that myself. So much easier to forgive past wrongs compared to ongoing wrongs.

@lilora70 Im kinda alright, I go day by day and try hardest not to even think.

Emptyness is the hardest thing ever. When you dont even feel anything no more. But thank you for caring ;-)

@Maehedrose Most intelligent people see life for what it is. The other intelligent people exploit the world to manipulate. Kind people usually feel the most pain because they are the ones that get used the most and think that being kind will help them and it eventually erodes the soul and they become empty still nice and kind but just dont care on the inside. I know this world and it shouldnt be treated seriously. Good and evil havent changed it is always in balance. People have changed.

@RobertMOdell A lot of times severe, chronic depression and bipolar disorders do not make sense ... they aren't reflections of horrible things happening to you in this world, they aren't even logical and when you think about it you ask yourself, "how can I be sad?". But that doesn't solve the problem, it doesn't make the pain go away. Some depression can be cured, and I encourage people to look for help, but don't trivialize it.
