Edited: 4/8/2010 2:50 PM
There are many situations teenagers go through that can cause them to become depressed.  Teenagers have mentioned the difficulty of trying to fit in with their peers.  Some have felt pressured to use drugs, be sexually active, have the perfect body, and wear the most fashionable clothes. The list of the pressures teenagers now face can go on and on as I'm sure you already know.
