Usually, when we hear about the term depression, we generally think about bad moods, loss of interest, loneliness, but it is more than what we think.

Following are the major reasons for depression in teenagers.
1. Low Self-Confidence
When a teenager becomes mature, several changes occur in the body, but many teens feel shallow confidence due to their body. Most boys feel underconfident due to their excess fat or because they are skinny. These things demotivate them, and slowly they are trap in this disorder.
Having a dark skin tone is also a huge reason for having low confidence. There can be several more reasons for having low confidence, which ultimately changes into depression. Parents compare their children's with other students in every field like study, sports and many more. This hurts very much as a teen, and it affects your mental health.
2. Failure of Relationship
Teenage is the stage where most of the person starts having relationships and have connections with their partner. Still, many people prioritize their relationship, and for them, this relationship is everything. And when they cannot connect with their partner, how they used to do when they feel depressed and in several cases, they commit suicide.
3. Having a Negative Environment
If a child is raised in a family where there are lots of issues, financially or something else, this thing affects the mental health of the child, and his mind becomes the source of negativity, and it ends up torturing him, which is also depression.
4. Addiction of Drugs or Alcohol
At this stage of life, teenagers try alcohol and drugs, but these substances have the capability to destroy the life of anyone. It is proved that drugs and alcohol cause depression.
5. Stress of Future
Every teenager has many dreams to fulfill in their life, and parents' expectations are very high, and due to this pressure, many teens come under the pressure. The stress level of that teen becomes so high that they can not resist; if this stress remains for a long time, he also becomes the target of depression.
We do not know how deadly depression is. We know that the teens are the ones who are more affected. Government should definitely take some steps towards this reason that causes depression. We know that if any country wants to develop, it is very much dependent on the youth, but if youth will not be able to grow, how can a country grow.
Talking with someone you like and sharing your problem with them can be the best way by which you can overcome the problem of depression. If you find any person who is in depression, you should help them. Introverts are more likely to face the problem of Depression because they do not share anything with anyone.
