Another cause of depression can begin from feeling out of place, even when among friends. Many times a teen can feel like what they are saying isn't cool enough or it isn't what their friends want to hear. Poor concentration, no ambition, differences in behavior, problems with sleeping through the night, changes in their eating patterns, fatigue, or a contrasting warning sign, extreme nervous energy. As a way to deal with their issue of sadness, teenswill push their parents away and rely on their friends for support and guidance. For teens, stress is a major cause of depression.
Stress comes from the many parts of a teenagers life.
For example, school is very stressful because of the homework and assignments may begin to back up and they feel overwhelmed with all of the work that needs to be done. Parents may also unwilling and unknowingly contribute to their teens depressive psyche. To a teen, when their parent tells them that they can t go and do something that the teen thinks is reasonable and when everyone else is going to be there, the teen feels angerand then sadness. If this exchange, between the parents and the teen, becomes a daily routine then the teen begins to feel like their life isn t s good as their friends . Parents and friends should be aware of behavioral changes.
