Yes, but often teens are depressed for real as well. Being a teenager is a stressful time because lots of things are changing. I think most of the time they just need a stable minded adult to talk to/help them.

I'm a teenager (17)



kinda, i think that the word depressed is one of those words that has a variety of levels. cuz like u could be, "oh, i'm just depressed about this" just to use it as an exaggeration, not that they actually are depressed. Cuz, if u say "oh, i just sad about this" u kinda sound childish lol.

Then, u could say "i'm actually depressed" actually refering to depression, and that's a whole new meaning



I agree..because it is overused so much specially amongst teens who don't actually know the real meaning and divide between general sadness and depression. I also think that it can be almost seen as "fashionable" so identify yourself as depressed amongst teens!



depression affects teens more because they are more get bored more easily because the 21st century lifestyle.
