   uuhh…go see a therapist or somethin'. Talk to ur parents to see if they can help in anyway. Maybe if ur depression is at skwl they can transfer u to a new skwl, or get u nvolved in some clubs.References :

   Giving teens more options where they can confide in their problems, without worrying about getting in trouble or someone they don't want finding out, finding out about it.References :

   You can't prevent depression, it is a disease with no known cure. There is treatment, medication and talk therapy combined work best.References :

    Give what they want. If they are depressed becuase they have no money, give them lots of money, if they are depressed about a girl, give them lots of girl. It all starts with us as infants crying for candy, so the answer is give them the candy, and continue to do this until they get old and die of old age. Its that simple.References :

    its a stage like any other.

    we all go through it at some point, but trust me you'll be able to work through it. no magic pill is going to cure you, or anyone for that matter. people just need to work through it.References :

    having people who LISTEN. lots of people (teens) hate overbearing parental concern. but if they're going to commit suicide, its good to have someone to listen.

    i understand my mom and stepdad a lot more since i got really depressed and thought about killing myself. im not on medication or anything but i've got good days and bad days, but never again will i try and kill myself.References :

    every teen has raging hormones and experiences some depression. it's odd to me how we have this society who wants to go into therapy and take meds but suicide is at an all time high. my grandparents generation rarely even knew what it was because it was so out there to even think of taking your own life.

    suicide is lame. it accomplishes nothing. depression and bouts of being down is normal. people need to get over it and not buy into the faleshood that therapist sell in order ot make a living that you need massive amounts of therapy – where they make a ton of money.References :

    By always remembering that dead is dead and you wont come back ever no second chance and that things never stay the same so if your feeling at rock bottom then the only way you can go is up and thing will get better and better as you get older and remember everyone feels like that sometime in their life but some will never how good it would have got because its too late for them, so talk to someone there is always a better way,and think of the sorrow they leave behind.References :

    Parents know and understand their kids best, at least they would be the 'first hand' person to realize a problem. Parenting never comes with a manual, but their ought to be public service messages for tell tale signs of depression with their kids.
    Actually, pro active communication works the best; asking questions and spending time with the teenager. Many times signals of teenage depression falls under the wire.References :

    As someone who has been suicidal her teens, I would suggest you talk to someone about whatever it is thats troubling you. Depression often occurrs when you feel really unhappy and you feel like the whole world is against you and that nobody cares whether you live or die, I know, i felt like that. Talking to a shrink really helped me, she was really good and genunely wanted me to get better. Talk to someone, never bottle up your feelings and try to be positive about life, focus on things that make you happy. Take care.References :
