Through the column of your newspaper I would like to express my view on the problem of depression among teenagers. Teen depression is becoming a very serious social health problem that causes a persistent feeling of sadness, loss of interest and disappointments in the activities of life. It affects how teenagers think, feel, and behave, it can cause emotional, functional and physical problems. Although depression is becoming very common in every teenager, the level of depression can increase in teenagers due to different things like over expectations, academic problems, peer problems, family background, and the concept of class difference can also be the reason for depression among teenagers. We need to inform people about this problem through different means of communication like print and electronic media and try to find the way that how we can overcome the level of depression among teenagers.
