(2013) propounded that in the adolescence stage it is very rough experience for an adolescent,
together with some teens. Depression affect teenagers and adults which can bring to the point wherein
people can experience emotional difficulties that will give them doubt on how to handle the situation.
When we notice depression it is important to seek for a doctor that can determine the possible reason
for experiencing depression.

In relation to the topic, here are some list of all the causes of teenage depression that affect one human
being. First, teens are under in a massive amount of stress just to cope up with academics and families
also rely on succeeding because scholarships can help neutralize the expenses of the family. Being
stressed in class is one of the reason why a person is experiencing depression due to stress. Students
worry about their grades, exams and projects because they are expected to be outstanding in class
because of the chosen strand for example being a medical student there is a lot of memorization which
makes you panic to memorize it quickly due to a deadliest deadline. Second, teenagers are now open in a
world wherein you should always be in but keeping up in the trend is not a good idea, being popular is
one of the things where some people experience having a low self esteem because they can’t fit in. Due
to peer pressure they try illegal drugs, drinking and smoking. They also try new things that they haven’t
tried yet and are afraid to refuse because of their reputation. Third, is being in love and getting a
heartbreak. If we get engaged in being in love the more we can feel the sadness when it ends where it
leads to being depressed as well. Fourth, is the traumatic events- a death of a loved on is a big cause of
depression because we try to remember the good memories and bad memories with them while they’re
still living. In some accidents, the one who had experienced it overthinks on what happened leading to
depression due to some traumas. Always watch out for the change in your behavior, if you notice
something consult the doctors immediately. Fifth, having a divorced parents is common nowadays than
the past generations. A person gets sad or depressed when they see their parents fighting or hurting each
other. When they see their parents with others, they find it difficult to be with them. They just think of
the downside than the good side, which is bad for teens or adults. Sixth, sometimes It is in the blood of
the family to experience depression, if other family members have already experienced it. They will have
difficulty in coping up with stress. Seventh, for some adults, budgeting is difficult when you are short with
your money. Being responsible with the money reflects everywhere, it is the responsibility of a one person
to comply with every bills. It can be tiring and stressful because they are thinking of not losing the house,
the expenses, the car and etc. Eighth, in this world people always give different masks to every person,
we can say it as masks because this can cover everything and they can only see their own faces when they
are alone. They think you are brave enough to be alone, but on the other side, you are longing for their
attention physically. There are teenagers who experience parents living abroad, the parents will not be
able to guide their children properly leads to depression. Ninth, having a low self esteem is exhausting for
a teenager. They lack in self confidence, example, because they see other people having a clear skin than
them, this is a problem which a teenager often experience due to adolescence period. Pimple can show
up everywhere and can ruin ones face. Body shaming is also known in teenagers because they see each
others imperfections wherein they should not feel it because it can lead also to depression and taking of
drugs just to lose weight, to get clear skin, to have long nose, to get whiter and many more. Lastly, when
a person feels that he/she has no one to run to it can always lead to being sad or depressed. Friends is
one of the most valuable person where they know that they can share with their problems either it is a
family, love or other problems in life. They also experience helplessness with their family members
because they feel that no one is with them or no one is noticing him/her with their pain or problems in
life. They also feel that they are not welcome in the family and they just feel like giving up. If they are
already feeling depressed and the situation still goes on and on it can make their condition even worse.

Nevertheless, there is still different causes of depression which a person is experiencing. No one
can tell what is the cause of it. According to Mayo Clinic (2016) they clarify that other causes are leading
to depression including insanity, traumas of accidents, some traits, and the practice of thinking of negative
events.
