Depression in Teens

Hello and welcome to our "Healing News". On this issue I want to talk about depression in teens.

Depression in teens is more common that what you or me may think. It is a very sad reality that touches not only the lives of the ones affected but the lives of everybody around them.

A large percentage on depressed teens are victims of bullying. I am including some insightful articles about violence and depression in teens that can help choosing a proactive approach when you or somebody you know is facing this situation.
