Today’s Teenage depression

Recently I’ve read several blogs about teenage depression. It really had me thinking. Being a teenager myself, and going through depression was intolerable.

Living through this, I’ve wanted to set down the reasons why teenagers “today” go through depression.

Rebellious teenagers have went through generation and generation, history reaping its self over and over. in today’s society, that small rebellious group of young teenagers has expanded to a vast amount of teenagers in depression.

Our society has become so corrupt that simply not many of us can survive. Suicide rates going up every year.

The reasons are simple

Drugs-

There just so easy to get. Starting just from junior high, you learn all about marijuana, ecstasy, etc. From such an age we learn that when in pain or when you just don’t want to care about something, you turn to drugs. Heading into high school, colleges, we start going into myth, heroin, cocaine to stay awake, the drugs just keep getting worse and worse. The internet is filled with blogs, videos, stories of how young women are stuck with loving a druggie, etc. just Seems like everyone around is doing it. It brings us down so much, the pain we bare to see a loved one on drugs that we ourselves want to stop caring and consume drugs for the feeling to go away. This just becomes a cycle.

Cheating- Movies with cheating are rising through the roofs these days, society makes it seem that cheating on your wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, lover, is okay. Every body does it right? So more and more of us our doing it. More of us see divorce as being “okay”. Being a teenager, almost everyone I know is cheating on someone or has gotten cheated on. For a female to get cheated on, the pain, is simply unbearable. We fall in love so hard, and then we get so heartbroken, its almost impossible to get back up on our feet, and move on.

Image- Many men say they love when women are natural. Bull shit. Men expect women to have there eyebrows plucked, hair straightened, lips with color. Men love the thought of “natural” but no longer the look. So many women, and men are judged on there look and style far more then they do then there personality. Men strive to get nicer cars, to get more females, because its all about the image now. So many girls are judged on being too fat, or too skinny, that looks matter almost more then anything.

Trust- trust in a relationship is most important. So little people have trust nowadays. Its almost impossible to trust anyone. We can’t trust our bfs/gfs with facebook and not looking/writing other people or texting other people. We can’t trust our friends to not lie to us. Our parents to be honest with us. We can’t even trust the internet. We simply start to feel alone. With no one to trust.

With our society, Teenagers are experiencing lager amounts of problems that earlier generations have barely encountered. our doctors are not prescribing teenagers with more ways to interact with people, or to forgive, trust, or to do the right things. There simply prescribing more drugs to hide the pain.
