Am I the only one who notices that those suffering from depression are getting more common in young teens?

Yes, a very big percentage of young people are now depressed. They aren't always seeking attention or lying; some of them really do feel this way. Masochism is a big problem (I used to do it myself, but have stopped), and nobody knows for sure what causes depression. Bullying, abuse/neglect at home, stressed out, or even genetics, who knows? I also think too many of them just bottle it up and don't seek the help that could change their lives.
