The book i read is called " Girl Source " I read pages 16 and 17 the article i read was " How do i deal with depression ". When i chose to read this book i predicted it would be about a lot of different stories that girls share that had happened to them before. A book where girls reached out to the world and help others that go and face similar problems in life. I was pretty much correct about the prediction i made because the book " Girl Source " is about different stories that tells you how can you deal with it , and how to approach the situation your going through . I learned many different things about depression, the symptoms of depression can be any things like mood swings , low self esteem , sleeping too much or to little these symptoms are similar to the signs of being overly stressed . Thinking about suicide is very dangerous is one of the many serious signs of depression. Depression can be cause about anything in life even to the most simple things in life for example things like break-ups , dealing with a pregnancy nobody knows about , family problems even school work . Many things that we deal with in life can lead to a depression stage . Knowing what can cause depression is very important especially to us teenagers. Many teenagers express themselves as having depression when going through a tough time in life not knowing how severe depression can be . Being depressed can cause anyone to have thoughts about committing suicide or cut themselves because the feel the pain is a way of escaping their problems and after a while they start liking the feeling without knowing that cutting yourself in any wrong way can cause you to be dead or hospitalized . I learned a lot not just knowing what can cause you to be depressed but how important it is to know have it and how can it lead you to do things without putting any thought of the consequences that come afterwards . Other topics I would like to read and learn about would be based on Life itself .
