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.
All the time I feel like
I hide behind this smile
Maybe if I pose like this
I'll change (in a little while)
Hide behind this empty veil
Of lies deceit and shame
You tell me but I don't believe
I'm not the one to blame
Am I a true invisible
Or is it just illusion
What is it just about me
That does lead you to confusion?
Am I so blind I do not see
So stupid and so dumb?
Am I so deaf, emotionless
So perilously numb?
That you can not release them
Your judgement and your thought
Is that all that the teach you?
Is that all that we're taught?
I hide behind this smile
Maybe if I pose like this
I'll change (in a little while)
Hide behind this empty veil
Of lies deceit and shame
You tell me but I don't believe
I'm not the one to blame
Am I a true invisible
Or is it just illusion
What is it just about me
That does lead you to confusion?
Am I so blind I do not see
So stupid and so dumb?
Am I so deaf, emotionless
So perilously numb?
That you can not release them
Your judgement and your thought
Is that all that the teach you?
Is that all that we're taught?
