"Depression isn't something you can just 'snap out of.'" With the statistics of teen depression rising through the roof, help us take a step forward by awareness and eventually stopping teen depression by signing our petition. 80% of teens with depression do not receive help, with the help of you; we can spread awareness to those 80% of teens with unacknowledged depression. Studies and statistics also show that approximately 1 in 8 adolescents may be suffering from depression, a very scary sign. Actions must be taken right now to begin putting a stop to the rise of teen depression, by signing this petition you could save a life from one of the symptoms of teen depression.

I wish someone had reached out to me when I was 15. The system really needs to change because it is failing so many people.
