What is depressing our (us) teens?
My bet is the world. Everyday it gets worse. Untill reading a fantasy book is prefered over the newspaper. Anything we see on T.V. or on video games we know is not 'real'. But we want it to be real because the world today is not what we hoped? Is what we need a reality check? Or, if we don't like the world the way it is...why not change it? Can we even do that? Or should those of us who can't just grin and bear it be all dosed up on a bunch of pills we don't need? What is truely wrong with teens today? Nothing? Lack of hope? Are we being let down? Because everthing that is cool is not real, or is not possible to reach unless you were rich? Ugh.

I think it is because of the media and music some teens listen to. Hollywood movies glamorize suicide and depression, and bands sing about it. If you listen long enough, its going to depress you. The world is depressing, the war, the economy, financial struggles are a huge part of stress, and when families get stressed, their children will get stressed. Movies about young thirteen year old girls falling in love, they are trying to make our youth grow up too fast. Then when they break up, they have to deal with very grown up issues, they feel the same pain and some couples do after a divorce.
