The answer is yes. I think the feeling of depression johnsy is very common among all the teenagers. There is a constant pressure in the present lifestyle to be at the first position at every single stage of life in every field. They are over pressurized with studies and the curiosity of future prospects. They are also harmed by parental expectations and peer pressure. Abiding all of this, they are also expected to behave in a certain manner according to the society. Most of the times, they are not able to cope up with stress and end up being depressed.
