Something is seriously wrong with this generation

To be fair I know a girl who was abused at 14

It's not the whole of this generation, just some really stupid idiots.
Every generation has those

Most people who are raped, sexually abused, physically abused, or verbally abused face there problems as children. Why do you have to minimize others problems?

Personal Rant: I had a lot to forget when I was 4, let alone 14. You cannot judge someones past based soley on how long they have lived. My abuse and exploitation occurred when iI was only 4 years old, and continued for a long time, because I was young and did not know what was right and wrong, and was easily manipulated to remain silent. That's why those who are abused are usually children. Although social media is an immature outlet, you're immature at 14. Perhaps we should be focusing on how to heal people, rather than judging them for having an issue despite their number of years on this planet. End rant haha

I know 13 and 14 year olds who are depressed & suicidal. they're barely children anymore, & they have more problems than we give them credit for.

To be fair 14 year olds have it pretty hard. Mental illnesses develop when you're young but you start to notice it one you get around that age. It gets stronger and you almost always notice it. I don't really know how to explain it. I'm 14. I have anxiety and depression. I was verbally abused as a child and still am. I'm afraid to talk. When you're this age people just say, "I've been through the same thing" or "you'll get over it" I've had anxiety for a very long time and depression for two years. My amazing friend talked me into asking for a councillor so I asked my school councillor. She got me a liaison worker. She gave me colouring pages and told me to get a therapist. I asked my mom for a therapist. She ignored me. Now she says she's going to send me to a hospital if I don't "get ahold of myself" she doesn't know about the depression but my anxiety is so bad she wants to send me to a hospital for that alone. So yes, I would love to forget my horrible child hood.
