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.
