I am just a high school student, but I'm not a fool, most kids are not depressed, they are hypocondricats (they think they have a dissease). This whole thing that most people have deppression is far from the truth. For instence I am a very happy kid and love my life, and I took a depression/stress test and I came up for sevior stress, this is as far  from the truth as it gets. People may think that I'm cray but I'm not intierly, when I was little I studyed to be a phycitrist, not a spelling bee sorry for that< so I do some what know what I'm talking about, and I'm creepy so I obsurve the kids in my school. Lots of kids had great lives. One of my friends she had a wonderful life, lots of friends that cared about her and a great house hold then some one suggested that she goes to counciling, she does then she starts asking more from her life, or demands then are posible, so she gets depressed becuase she thinks she's suppoes to be barbie, the counciler says you need a better person in your life, so she dumps her boyfriend, he is a strait A student and is in jump start going to college to be a engener and is hillairios and every guy in the school whats to look like him becuase our girl friends have or had crushes on him, ya she dumps him. Then she starts to go out with the track star and every one know he just wants sex (honestly I'm friends with every one of the poeple I'm talking about) she is all depressed becuase she's basicly told to by a counsiler so her new boy friend comes up with a great idea "lets have sex it will take your mind off things and will give you great pleasure, it always does" says the track star, so ya she's so despret to get happyness now that she goes with it but there's no condom so she thinks this is a sure fire way and use's a zip lock sandwich bag,this makes her more depressed. A this time she finelly reaches the stage of depression of were she need pills and sure enough she takes them, now she's happyer then ever and any thing goes in here little world. Then her boy friend the track star (whitch is three years older) leaves to colleage, she gets horrible depressed now, but then her best friend gets her boyfriend to come over to her house, but his girl friends not there so they decide to skiny dip and make out in her pool, my friend (his girl friend) finds this out, and she says "wow it's to bad I wasn't there, but oh well I'll get to have fun with him later on" then a week later I talked to her about it she sayed "he promised never to do it agian, and I trust his word. Oh me and katlen (the girl her went skiny dipping with) ya where still great friend" she said all of this becuase she was on these crazy pills, I know her I'm one of her best friends, this is on of the reasons I think this whole "every one needs pills" thing is bull. This is probly just an way to get a job and some money for the medilcal field, and I wish some one would get some hard proof, these scientist muyst under stand you have to have a normal of the person before you can say there depressed, you can;'t compare there state now to when they where 10 and you took them to disney land. if you would like to comet this reply at  catfood@techemail.com  and sorry  for all the miss speld words.
