All of this is very true. Ive had friends that have gone to counselors for problems that are alot like that. Bullying is also not cool, I always try to stick up for someone who is being talked down on or not getting treated right.
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point. Many people suffer from depression and they don't even know it themselves. It is good to get people to know and undersetand more about depression in order for them to help others or even themselves heal.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with all of this i have experienced some of this first hand without even knowing it. but being able to accept it is the first step and always find help or a way to cope.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people that werer bullied and became depressed. Its a tough thing to deal with.
ReplyDeleteDepression is a HUGE problem, especially with girls. Personally, I think the best cure for depression is telling someone your problems and getting what is on your mind off of your chest!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know depression was most common in girls. Interesting!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that depression is a big problem in our generation. But I also think people can take advantage of the situation and use it for attention. Sorry, if that is mean. To the people who are medicated for it.. you really think that popping pills for the rest of your life is going to help.. try again.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, some people do it just for the attention
Deleteyea i agree, it's a terrible condition :( i just want people to know it will get better! even time needs time, if you hit bottom there's no where but UP.
ReplyDeleteIt helps to have someone you trust to help you through it, in any situation, so someone who is depressed needs to have a good friend.
ReplyDeleteI agree this is a huge problem in America today. Is there any reason depression is more common in girls than guys?
ReplyDeleteThere are no real answers as to why but scientifically proven females are more prone to depression than males
DeleteThis is certainly an issue. Having someone to talk to is always important.
