The causes for depression vary. Someone might get depressed because they spilt milk in front of everyone in the cafeteria. If the same thing happened to someone else, it may not even prove to affect him or her. For, some the weather greatly affects their mood causing depression. A person can even become depressed when a good event in their life is occurring.
Suicide is the second leading cause for death in teenagers.
Every year, two million children between fifteen and nineteen try to kill themselves-and every year some five thousand succeed. Girls are more likely to attempt suicide, but boys kill themselves four times more often, usually with guns. An average of fourteen teenagers per day between the ages of 15 and 24 commit suicide. That is approximately 1 every 100 minutes. More than half of these young people who commit suicide are substance abusers.
