Depression - Teen Support Group

Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

Hey I know I'm responding a bit late but I didn't start driving until I was 22, didn't own a car for another few years after that. For some reason I just had a huge block to it, I still don't understand. I've recently been helping a friend in the same situation. He's in his mid-20's and doesn't drive either.

You're not alone, and it's not bad in itself - it just is what it is. It's probably inconvenient and it doesn't feel very good to see everybody else driving, but the only bad thing about it is if it makes you feel bad.
