Happyness Happyness is usually made by having people around you who strive to encourage and help you be the happiest smiliest person you can be.

Every year a large number of people die from depression based illness--usually mental ilnesses that can eventually turn physical.

Usually The main factor is Depression. Depression is caused by many factors in life, for both male and females.

A usual cause of Depression in women is the miscariage of a baby/babies, or severe illness in children that may be hereditary or other disease that affects the way the child/children live.Also the idea that a lady is "overweight" can trigger depression too.

Men also suffer from these illnesses, men can easily be affected by the death of a loved one (as can a lady or children even), The idea that they are drug-addicted and have nothing in life, money troubles, ill children.

As we all know for every action there is a equal reaction. Depression has alot of physical effects on a person as well as emotional effects. Some Physical effects are: Self harm:

CUTTING- where a person cuts themselves purposly to possibly kill themselves. Can cut with anything in anyplace, mainly on wrists. (mainly in young teenage girls)

BURNING- where a person burns themselves purposly for fun or to injure themselves.

SUICIDE- Where a person finds a way to kill themselves without any help from another living being. This is a major cause of Death in Australia.

GETTING "STONED"- In technical terms "getting STONED" means to get "high" on marajuana (a form of illicit drugs) Drugs can kill young people quickly because unless you make marajuana you dont know what goes in it. Marajuana and other forms of Drugs such as "ICE" (crystal-meth) and Cocaine are usually taken by depressed teenagers to "fix there life" but it doesn't it makes it worse, they get addicted and soon it costs them their money, their jobs and sometimes their life.

GETTING DRUNK- Like drugs alchahol is addictive and effects your braincells. Being depressed makes teens feel that their is no tomorrow and things like "i dont deserve to be here" and "I may as well die" Alchahol and drugs are supposed to "fix this" Maybe for a short time they would be high as a kite and life would feel great but after that it just stuffs it all up.

Being anorexic-- Many young women and girls have trouble with their weight and most of which are of an average BMI (body mass index) but they dont see it this way... They may start to notice this and stop eating. When this happens they get sick and unhealthy and eventually they decide that they are too fat and they need to stop eating entirely... This makes them very unstable and eventually they will start to notice other bodily problems, so they may turn depressed with the thought that they are ugly and fat...

So to stop these problems talk with you children and let them know that they are loved, their is nothing wrong with them and that they should always listen to their close family. Tell them that Drugs are bad and tell them all the nasty things about them. If you think your child is depressed or if you are depressed about anything there are people that will help.
