I believe people don't really understand the severity of depression and the effects it can have on us teenagers. Yes, people may be aware of what depression is but they don't really understand until they go through it or someone close to them is going through it.
Honestly i was one of those people that knew about it but didn't really pay attention to until i started developing depression at the beginning of my first semester in high school. Nobody in my family even knew i was feeling like this.
Depression is something you do not want to go through because you just feel sad and lonely all the time and that can lead to you hurting yourself or even suicide.
Depression and suicide is an issue that EVERYONE should be aware of because it can happen happen to anyone not just teenagers.
