Are You Emotional? To tell the truth, being a teenager is not easy. As teenagers, we’ve encountered good and poor emotions. One second, we can feel really happy and the next suffer from depression. Many teenagers feel the same way. “I feel that there is a lot of pressured and stress among these few years that are to come. The future is in our hands. The teen year is where all the decisions and the future are shaped from.” ~ Quote Noskillztoday “Yes, I feel one thing and then another the next moment, I don’t know why that happens. May be because of the atmosphere that makes me feel happy one moment and then irritated the next or it could just be me.” ~ Quote Tarou.Depression: Depression can occur in many ways. It can be caused from one thing or combination of many. About 16% of Americans have experienced depression in their lifetime. Women usulay have a higher risk of getting depression. In fact, women experience depression twice more than men. This is due to puberty, menstruation and pregnancy. Men, on the other hand have less risks of getting depressed. But their suicide rate because of depression is four times than men. This is because they don’t seek for help. Here are some causes:
