Why So Depressed?

As a generation depression is so prominent, we know it as a major issue in our lives yet nothing seems to be done about it that is effective. As soon as we stepped into middle school life became a battle it became what we fought for and what we fought against all at the same time. And it is still a fight. We hate our parents and any other authority figure that tries to get in our way.Yet we have no direction, that is the irony in it. We want to  be so independent but with no goals set to show that we deserve it. And when we get into trouble asking for help is not a solution so wecontinue to get into more emotional depressions. But that's not to say that there aren't other factors but it is one of them. School stress, family stress and the stress of friends is just STRESS. So much stress is bringing us down that our only ways to relieve ourselves may be in negative ways. Smoking, drinking, and excessive partying are all included but they change our behaviors that can harm ourselves and others. We may fight in school, get into a car accident or even commit suicide but they don't erase the problemsor even suppress.
