Is modern life making today’s teenagers more depressed?

Teens seem to feel more hopeless than in previous years, think they are invincible, so when they feel psychological pain, they are more apt to feel overwhelmed by hopelessness and the belief that they have no control over their lives. I call these feelings hopelessness and helplessness.

In my opinion, would agree with me that there is more stress today than in previous generations. Stress triggers depression and mood disorders.

Some symptoms of depression at the confusing and difficult time of adolescence. I think modern lifestyles -lack of community and family support, less exercise, no casual and unstructured technology-free play, less sunshine and more computer -factors into this equation.
