Teen Depression

[LilHollywood17]

I'm taking an online class and for a project, we have to pick an issue and create an article on it.
I decided to choose teen depression (it's something very important to me, considering I've almost lost people close to me because of it).

I was wondering what are some things that can contribute to it?
Such as thoughts and attitudes.

Thank you for your time

I am almost positive I am going threw deppression considering I hate myself with a passion and have tryed to kill myself twice. For me I often think everyone would so much happeir if I were dead because they wouldent have to deal with how annoying and embaressing I am!

My step brother passed last summer and I often think why him and not me there would of been less pain for everyone if it were me!

For me I started falling in grade 8 I'm now going into grade 11
It all started when I had no friends in my class. I thought I had one but then when a new girl came and wouldn't let mentalk to her I figured out the truth. We were on a school bus and if I bad a million dollars came on and she and few people at the back if the bus started singing "if I had a million dollars I'd buy you a new wardrobe, I'd buy you liposuction. I thought at the time your one to speak but as time went by her words really sunk in. The. After singing that she asked my "friend" if she even liked me and she awnserd no I guess not. So that was like a slap to the face I had to try my hardest not to cry.
But I started feeling down befor the bus incident I started feeling down when the new girl transfered to my school the second or third month of school   I started going for a nap everyday after school because there was nothing else to do. Then grade 9 was good. Though I started disliking my parents alot to the point were I just go to my room and avoid them all day. But grade was still pritty good it was in august last summer when my step brother was hit by a truck and killed so everything intensified and I began to hate myself with a passion. And have since then tryed to kill myself twice by suffocation and wanted to many other times. The first time I seriously wanted to try I couldent bring myself to do use a plastic bag because of all the germs but if I had known what to do I probably wouldent be here today. Anyways I'm gonna send you my journal in a inbox message so you can understand

For me, teen depression started when I didn't feel good enough. I felt ugly, cast out, and lonely. I felt like no one would ever love me, and all of my friends were fake. I felt like I had no where to go. I sank first into quietness and self-pity, then as that cut me off from others my age, I sank into a deep depression. Thankfully, after a few months of spending time with people who cared--and showed that they cared--I have made a full recovery and am helping others with depression.
