teenage depression

Teenage Depression

According to Young Minds, in a school of 1,000 pupils aged 14-18, 50 of them might be seriously depressed. As many as 1 in 5 could be affected at some time. We investigate why more and more teenagers are suffering from mental illness.

A difficult time

Being a teenager has always been difficult. Emotions and moods change rapidly. Many teenagers feel confused and afraid when the safety of childhood is left behind. These days, experts say that things are even harder. Peter Wilson, the Director of Young Minds, says, “We live in particularly difficult times for a growing youngster. There are huge cultural pressures and a lot of broken homes. Kids may have difficult relationships with parents, or in other cases, have no one to support them.”

No one is happy all the time

Everyone feels unhappy, lonely or misunderstood from time to time. But a small number of teenagers become depressed for weeks or months without change, and they begin to find that they can’t continue with their normal lives. Many teenagers don’t want to ask, or don’t know how to ask for help. Perhaps they don’t even realize they are depressed. It is usually other people – friends, parents and teachers, who identify the simptoms of depression and offer help. One teenager explained that after a close friend had died, “I stopped believing that anything could be any good anymore. I became very aggressive, I snapped at my parents and I touch with friends. Things were bad for me for a year until, fortunately for me, a teacher noticed that things were wrong.”

            If you recognize these symptoms in yourself or a friend, there are lots of things that can be done. You can’t expect yourself, or someone else to just ‘snap out of it’. You need to find ways to cope with the feelings.

How to help yourself or someone else

If you are worried about a friend, listen to their problems and try to be sympathetic, and be patient. Most importantly, try and help them find help. If you’re feeling blue yourself, don’t panic – you need to try and understand your emotions. You are not the first person to feel like this. Try writing things down in a diary or talking to a friend. Perhaps writing a poem or song, drawing a picture or listening to music will help you express and understand your emotions. But most importantly of all, do something you enjoy, whether it’s watching TV, playing sport or just going for a walk.

Talk to someone

It is a good idea for teenagers who feel depressed to try and talk to someone they like and feel comfortable with. But if they don’t want to talk to their teacher or school nurse or maybe their doctor. Alternatively, there are telephone help lines which give confidential help to anyone with a problem. Talking to someone might help others to cope with how they are feeling.

There is someone who can help

Sometimes, depression can become a very serious problem,and teenagers think about trying to escape their feelings. They might consider suicide or self injury. When the problem has got so bad, professional help from qualified specialist counselors is vital. Counselors are trained to talk to people about their worries and problems. It is important to remember that everyone feels sad and unhappy sometimes, it is natural. Remember that, no mattter how bad you feel, the feelings of sadness and happines will come to an end.

CULTURAL DIFFERENCE : BEING ON TIME

            In the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc. however, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m and end at 12 p.m. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10 a.m several arrived after 10:30 a.m. Two students came after 11 a.m. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologised for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the student’s behavior.

            The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal an a formal situation : Lunch with a friend an in university class, respectively. He gave them an example and asked them how  they would  react. If  they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.

            In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. In contrast, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also  end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at noon; many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more question. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

            The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian an North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person is always on time, in fact Brazilian expect a person with status or be disrespectful and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North American, the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry.

            As a result of his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him. Instead, they were simply behaving in the appropriate way for a Brazilian  student in Brazil. Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior so that he could feel comfortable in the new culture.
