Teen Depression

I am not finished with this so please give me any ideas or suggestions!

Depression is a disorder that has been around since the beginning of humanity and it affects people in all age groups.  Teen depression affects 1 in 8 teens, which means that if you and seven friends were together, at least one of you is, or has been depressed.  Depression is a serious disorder than can affect the people with it for weeks, months, and maybe even longer.  Depression affects a person’s thoughts, mood, behavior, and outlook on everything.  More than one million teenagers a year are found to be depressed.
