Letter From The Editor

Depression

1

When you’re skipping the pages of my magazine, your attention will be grabbed by the extreme words and emotional photos and drawings. The deep understanding of depression goes further than what is shown on the surface. My experience with this mental order made me change the way I live. Everyone is searching and trying to be normal, but is there something wrong with being different. The article will show meaningful and diverse perspectives of the areas of depression. Depression is seen as a negative cloud hovering over the person, but that is what you make it. From me, you can stand side by side with depression and have nothing holding you back. Your life can never be depended on anyone else; it’s all about you because no one can control you. I mean look at me, I go on living my life of its fullest. Knowing there could be something holding you back, but you stand proud, because you are conquering it. In this magazine, it won’t be lacking emotions, details, and connections; it will be doing the opposite. In my high school experience, I had a wave of depression going over me and it changed who I was and the behavior I was showing was who I was, but not who I wanted to be. I would say rude things and always be upset, sad, and depressed. I received help, when I decide I wanted to see what was wrong with me and wanted to fix it. I became more aware of who I was becoming and who I can transform myself into, because I wasn't going to let this push me back for who I fought to be for 15 years of my life. I want to dedicate this to my friends; they are still there when I feel there is no one there for me. I would be nowhere if I didn't them; I would be nowhere without them. Also the thing that pushes me harder is the music I love. I was born and I live for the love of music. If I can

do anything, it would be for something

involving music. This magazine will outline

anything you need and have to know about

depression in teens. Thank you and contact
