I agree when it isn't clinical depression. Lots of teenagers nowadays like to diagnose themselves as 'depressed' when they are really just overdramatic, attention-seeking, hormonal teenagers.

People that are depressed hate being depressed. It sucks to not even be able to smile at your own children, you mother, father or siblings. Believe me when I say hormonal teens aren't depressed and you shouldn't even call it that.

From personal experience depression is not "attention seeking," I hid it for years before an anxiety disorder developed and people found out. Trust me, it's not a joy ride. Just because I'm a teenager doesn't automatically make me an hormonal attention seeker, or I would fake this just for a bit of love. I agree many teenagers say that, but they really are probably in a bad space and just want help, but not definitely "Depression."

I think the OP is more of talking about teenagers who post "im so depressed :(" and don't tell why than actually depressed people

Guys, chill your pants off. They're just talking about the people who are like, "OMG Stacy, I spilled my salad dressing on my new $60 shirt! I'm so depressed now!" also the people that walk into a room with people in it, melodramatically sit down, slouched, and then burst out, "I'M LIKE SO DEPRESSED GUYS."
