Being In A Confusing Stage Of Depression - This photo is about the pain some survive and others don't survive.

Hi I'm Angelyque Oquendo, I am a Teenage Depression Surviver. This is my You & The World Project. My project is about Teenage Depression and What are the symptoms?, How it occurrs and things that can help it make it less lonely. Teenage Depression is serious concern for most of half of America ( the world also). Teens that suffer from self-harm thoughts and low-self esteem become more in danger to self being , being able to getting better. Especially when things at home and school are stressful in a person(s) life, especially when it concerns the people who become more and worried about loved ones.

Teens during adolensences go through many changes in their teenage years. And things become more and more difficult to do when emotional and behavioral problems occurr while things go on in there lives like high school and realationships with friends, also at home. Most teens that go through depression become more distant from things they use to be passionate about and socializing is definity off the recored, being in your mid- teen years; teens become less aware that things in thier lifes, like firends and family activity’s pass right by them.

Being a teen is hard it’s like being a little toddler trying to climb the stairs for the first time and is terrified to climb right back down. In this article this young girl, she is about almost 20 years old, her name was Faith-Annn Bishop, she gets up at 2 o’clock in the morning while her parents are asleep and had a blade and she then pierces her soft skin and starts bleed right out on the bathroom floor of her parents house. The pressure was way to much for her handle most of these things that had kept her from being in a better and healthier state of mind. http://time.com/magazine/us/4547305/november-7th-2016-vol-188-no-19-u-s/

Self-harm is a big concern with teens who choose to have thoughts and being where they become in a not strong state of mind. Teens in this stage don’t realize how these things affect themselves, others in such a far along stage. In 2015, about 3 million teens ages 12 to 17 had had at least one major depressive episode in the past year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services. More than 2 million report experiencing depression that impairs their daily function. About 30% of girls and 20% of boys–totaling 6.3 million teens–have had an anxiety disorder, according to data from the National Institute of Mental Health. http://time.com/4572593/increase-depression-teens-teenage-mental-health/

Being in a self harming state of mind is really difficult for some people with depression to really understand that self-harm is a really serious condition, preventing that from happening is reading between the lines. Really-really look right through your teen and see what is it their going through something very hard for he or she understand and to go through by themsleves.I had almost done some damage to myself as a young teen, self-harm was on my list of a last resort to being done, I’d had thought maybe if I were to just leave things and people would forget, it would be for the best; But yet again I was wrong.

Signs of symptoms with teens suffering from depression, Emotional symptoms are sadness, tiredness w/ Low self-esteem and Fixations on past failures or exaggerated of self-blame. “When I was 12 my mom had sent me to a therapist to see if I would talk to who at least someone because I had not want to talk to her or and anybody else”. “She was awfully worried about me and of my health, she did’nt stop she would pressure me to get out of the house go to the kitchen and eat , socialize with others.” “And my mind was completely blank during these request, she’d ask me what was wrong bascially questions regarding me and if I were still inside.” “Maybe even calling for some type of help deep down maybe or somehow even getting back to my type of silly normal.”

Behavioral symptoms fluctuate frequenely, isolation occurrs when your teen becomes more detached from others. https://www.helpguide.org/articles/depression/teen-depression-signs-help.htm

Helping your teen to becoming more activite is good start especially socializing with others. Asking for mental help froma doctor to prescribe things to she or he.

Doing things that can help with teen depression is having a low level of stress, having less stress in your life can reduce problems and be more relaxed with things and go with the serene flow.
TeenageDepression Happens with all ages and stages of these age groups with (Teens). http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/teen-depression/home/ovc-20164553 12-13, 16-20 of teens being a part of the worldwide contagious act called Depression. If there would be no Depression many would not die and many would not be gone by freedom of happiness. Depression comes from emotion, with attitude and behavioral situations that make things a bit more harder to handle in life. Knowing things of Depression with different ways of Depression is expressed, most common are of a Depressive disorder which is is not a passing blue mood but rather persistent feelings of sadness and worthlessness and a lack of desire to engage in formerly pleasurable activities. A complex mind/body illness, depression can be treated with drugs and/or therapy. Ways of knowing that your teens(s) are either having depressive mental disorders or are they more of delusions and hallucinations? By preventing that keep your teen associated with you and your family members also become more evolved with the teen (s).

I had been diagnosed with depression at 12 I've overcome it at 14, it was difficult to overcome. Depression can be passed down from genes/ relatives, Yes just like cancer and asthma.

I enjoyed how you admitted to being a teenager who was depressed because it shows that you actually have experience with teen depression. It also shows that you want to help people who are suffering from depression. When did your depression start and how did you overcome it? I didn't know half of the people in the world are depressed. Can depression be passed down through genes like cancer or asthma?
