ok, hi, can i just say that your 'finding teen depression' quiz isn't right. sure, that's how you identify teen depression, but i don't think you've quite got the grasp of it. the quiz implies that you should always talk to teenagers about certain subjects, such as their father or friend dying, if you do this, it will make him/her worse. of course you have to talk to them, but you have a wait a long time, NOT a week. that's just an example, i think who ever made the quiz really needs to talk to real teenagers with real depression instead of trying to imagine what it might be like, or what YOU think is better for them. I'm there myself, and trust me, your recommendations for how to deal with a depressed teenager is not right. adults to not need to 'deal' with us. i just think you should think more carefully about the questions and answers to the questions, and change them.
