Public Health Concern

Teenagers now days are going through a lot of depression in the state of California. It has been a proven fact that kids are being prescribed anti depressants so they can stop being depressed. The kids that actually speak about their problems are the ones who actually get help for it but then you have to remember that there are also kids that do not talk about their problems and keep their depression inside of them. They find a different type of “outlet” to the depression. A lot of them result to suicide or drugs. They think that if they kill themselves then they are going to be better off than being in this world that they believe is hell. They think that the world would be better off without them because throughout their whole life, they have not seen anything but pain and suffering. A lot of kids do not know how to handle the depression that they are going through. They do not know how to fight through it and see the light. They get stuck and lose themselves. The way that they feel is if they are falling in a dark everlasting hole and they do not know what to do because they believe that they are in this world on their own. The public needs to see that that kids now are getting worst and are trying to do anything that is possible so they can feel better. Parents need to be careful because if they do not want to lose their kids to suicide or drugs, they need to change something.
