Many people believe that teenagers can`t be depressed and that matters relating to it such as self harm and failing at school is down to attention seeking. Although everybody has an opinion and nobody can argue with that, the point of this petition is to raise awareness and support teenagers with depression. By signing this petition, you`ll be showing that you care and are ready to support people have or affected by somebody with depression so hopefully more will be done in future to help teenagers and people in general will have a better understanding that anybody can be affected by depression.

Thank You.

The people constantly dismissing teenage pain as attention seeking cannot ignore this momentum anymore. We are forcing them to look at the reality they try so hard to bury.

DEPRESSION IS REAL. stop telling kids they are just moody or lazy.

My brother went through this and we lost him. Wish people took it seriously years ago. Thank you for doing this.

High school is hard enough without people acting like your mental health is a joke. About time this got some real attention.
