Adolescent depression affects approximately 8.3% of adolescents, with symptoms including persistent sadness, loss of interest, and feelings of guilt. It can be caused by genetic predispositions, stressful environments, low parental warmth, and other factors. Effects include changes in mood and behavior that impair daily functioning. Treatment involves cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy to challenge irrational thoughts and address relationship issues. Proper treatment is important as depression can cause lifelong problems and increased risk of suicide if left untreated.

Mental health stigma can be divided into two distinct types: social stigma is characterized by prejudicial attitudes and discriminating behaviour directed towards individuals with mental health problems as a result of the psychiatric label they have been given. In contrast, perceived stigma or self-stigma is the internalizing by the mental health sufferer of their perceptions of discrimination (Link, Cullen, Struening & Shrout, 1989), and perceived stigma can significantly affect feelings of shame and lead to poorer treatment outcomes (Perlick, Rosenheck, Clarkin, Sirey et al., 2001).

The ecological model of Bronfenbremnner and the Kolb liner theory are considered in this paper.
These models are learning styles’ examples. They have been adopted widely in different systems
of education (Martin & Fabes, 2009). Learning styles refer to consistent ways of enabling
students to respond to any stimuli during the learning process. They are the basis of cognitive,
physiological as well as effective factors which indicate the way learners perceive, interact and
respond to any form of learning. The discussion of this paper focuses on external forces that
differentiate Brofenbrenner’s model from the Kolb’s linear model. The paper also outlines the
crucial Kolb’s model analysis with consideration of Bronfenbrenner’s model. The paper will also
critique Kolb’s model.

I NEED A POSITIVE COMMENT BASED IN THIS ARGUMENT. BETWEEN 200-220 WORDS.
Adolescence is a term that refers to teenage years between thirteen and nineteen years. Adolescence itself is a stage and hence, a stage of transition. This is called a stage of transition because it is in this stage that many changes takes place in a person’s body. Such changes includes; physical changes and psychological changes. On the other hand depression is a term that describes a situation where one feels very low in moods and esteem and also avoids activities that contributes to the well being of a person.
Depression is normally related to anxiety, stress and worst of all, suicide. Therefore, adolescence depression (Teenage depression) refers to a serious problem that affects teenagers and that makes them always sad, very low in mood and also makes them lack interests in activities that contributes to their well-being. Adolescence depression can affects a teen’s school life, personal life, family life, social life and also work life.
It can be very difficult to parents to spot this mental problem in their children but adolescence depression, like other diseases, has got signs and symptoms. The most major symptom that can be noted is change in behavior and attitude. Behavior and attitude are accompanied by; a teen becoming irritable most of the time, appearing sad with no genuine reason, changes in a teen’s appetite, loss of interest in activities that a teen used to love earlier, feeling of worthlessness, guilt and low self-esteem, withdrawal from friends or activities that are done after school, changing sleeping habits and finally difficulty in concentrating in school work (Robert, Lewinson & Seeley, 2011).
Researchers have confirmed that there is no exact cause of adolescence depression but there are contributing factors to adolescence depression. Some of the factors are; traumatic early life events, differences in the brain, inherited traits and also learned pattern of negative things. Brains of adolescents have a different structure from adult brain and hence how their reasoning capacity is very low. Therefore, they can be easily affected by depression. Traumatic early life experiences can also make children lack well developed coping techniques. This hence makes children easily affected by depression when they become teenagers. Lastly, researchers have proved that teen depression is related to biological components and therefore, it can be passed down from parents to their teenage children. Teens who have relatives or parents who have depression are more likely to get depression themselves.
Teenage depression can be prevented by methods that are divided into three major categories. The three categories are; primary, secondary and finally, tertiary. Primary prevention is one of the major categories and is normally practiced at home. This prevention is usually administered by the parents, guardians and relatives. This prevention is normally done by pare ...
Running head: ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION 1
ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION 2
Adolescence is a crucial and significant period of development for understanding the course, treatment and nature of depression. It is not unusual for teens or adolescents to feel down in the dumps or experience the blues occasionally (Gabbay, Ely, Li, Bangaru, Panzer, Alonso, & Milham, 2013). For most boys and girls, adolescence is usually a time with many emotional, physical, social and psychological changes accompanying this life stage. It is an unsettling duration and time of life development. Unrealistic social, family and social expectations crease such a strong sense of rejection and develop into disappointment (Gabbay, Ely, Li, Bangaru, Panzer, Alonso, & Milham, 2013).
When issues are going wrong at home or in school, adolescents often overreact. To worsen the situation, teens are often bombarded with different and conflicting messages from society, friends and parents. Research shows that adolescent depression has heightened in the recent past, and the rate of increase is extremely alarming. Recent studies indicate that one out of five teens develop clinical depression during their life development stages (Oldehinkel, Ormel, Verhulst, & Nederhof, 2014). Health practitioners explain that diagnosing depression in adults can be extremely difficult since most adults usually expect the teens to show moody signs. Despite this, several symptoms can be looked at, and they can be easily detected.
Changes in sleeping or eating patterns should not be overlooked, since they can be attached to lack of motivation or energy, and lack of enthusiasm (Stapley, Midgley, & Target, 2016). Extreme cases of rage, anger, and an overreaction to criticism are associated with depression. Thirdly, adults and parents should look out for hopelessness and sadness, with the teens showing signs of withdrawal from the family, friends and activities such as sports (Stapley, Midgley, & Target, 2016). In school, teens experiencing depression have problems with school leaders and authority, and often show poor academic performance. In addition, during class hours, the teen may show signs of forgetfulness, poor concentration and indecision (Stapley, Midgley, & Target, 2016). In extreme cases, depressed teens or adolescents can harbour suicidal thoughts, or take actions towards this direction.
Adolescence depression is a time of intense moodiness, stress, and self-preoccupation has permeated professional perspectives on this important developmental period (Gilbo, Knight, Lewis, Toumbourou, & Bertino, 2015). The approaches to the classification and assessment of adolescent psychopathology have been shown and reflected in the literature on adolescent depression: depressive syndromes, clinical depression and depressed mood. There are several key fam ...

Comment 1Suicide in recent years has increased by 300 in adoles.docxdivinapavey
Comment 1
Suicide in recent years has increased by 300% in adolescent males aged 15 to 19 years old. Male adolescents were 6 times more likely to commit suicide then a female (Adolescence, C. O.,2000). Suicide between the ages of 15 to 19 is the third leading cause of death for adolescents (Edelman, C., Kudzma, E., Mandle, C., 2010). Adolescent suicide is preventable as problematic adolescents tend to give clues that can be verbal and nonverbal. It is important for people around the adolescent to recognize important warning signs.
There are many factors that contribute to suicide such as family history of mental illness, substance abuse, history of child abuse, and any type of abuse the adolescent has faced are leading factors of suicide. Depression leading from social problems, family problems, or environmental issues can also lead to suicide. There are three levels of suicide prevention first being the primary prevention which is reducing the risk factors and promoting the factors to end suicide by educating and giving the awareness of suicide. The second prevention is secondary prevention where a person has tendency of suicide and has been assessed as suicidal. It is then that the person is offered crisis counseling to help address any underlying problems and gets screening for suicide. The third prevention is the tertiary prevention where long term services and program are used to help the suicidal person because of the consequences of attempted suicide (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018).
For a nurse it is hard to assess if an adolescent child is suicidal or not. There are warning signs & symptoms that a nurse can look for to make an assessment. Behavioral changes such as substance use and abuse, writing notes or letters, poems and essays with suicidal material written in them, the adolescent becomes more of a risk taker, and increased physical violence to themselves or others.(Edelman, C., Kudzma, E., Mandle, C., 2010). Other symptoms include mood change like increased anger, sleep problems, hearing voices or talking to people not there, taking interest in death related things, and an expression of hopelessness (Edelman, C., Kudzma, E., Mandle, C., 2010). Other symptoms that are physically noticeable are posture, body movements, unusual dressing, and grooming and hygiene (Jarvis, C., 2012).
New Jersey state has a peer support & suicide prevention hotline where people can call 1-855-NJ-HOPELINE 24 hours a day to talk to someone confidentially. They can help provide support to people who just needs someone to talk to when life becomes stressful. The NJ hopeline can provide further counseling, support and referrals to local resources in your difficult times. Another resource the state offers is nj211 which also can help not only for suicide, financial assistance, food, utilities, and housing. The local community resource that that helps suicidal people is the National Alliance on Mental Illness organization. The organization offe ...
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. What is Adolescent Depression? Cont.
Depression – A serious mood disorder that affects
8.3% of adolescents, with about one third of
adolescents experiencing depressive moods (Burgic-
Radmanovic, 2011).
Classidied by symptoms of persistent and pervasive
sadness, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, low
self esteem, excessive guilt, suicidal thoughts or
behavior, and sleep and appetite disruptions
(Maughan, Collishaw, &Stringaris, 2013).
5. What is Adolescent Depression? Cont.
This can be very challenging to classify in
adolescents because they are experiencing a great
deal of emotional changes from hormones and
puberty.
The factor that sets depression apart from normal
mood changes is symptoms that last for an extended
amount of time that disrupt daily living for an
adolescent.
6. Causes of Adolescent Depression:
Genetic:
An adolescent‟s genes, that have a predisposition for
depression can greatly increase the chance that they have a
depressive episode in adolescence.
A adolescent can be brought into the world much more likely
to become depressed depending on what the mother‟s
situation was leading up to the pregnancy.
“The fetal programming hypothesis states that under stressful
conditions pregnant mothers send messages to the fetus to prepare
it for a hostile environment (Colman, Ataullahjan, Naicker, & Van
Lieshout, 2012).”
7. Other Factors:
Even an adolescent does not have predisposed to depression
they can still develop it.
Adolescents that are exposed to high stress environments run
the risk of developing depression.
Increasing Likelihood:
Low levels of parental warmth.
Parental mental health problems.
Early or chronic adversity such as abuse, poverty or social
disadvantage.
(Vogel, 2012)
Causes of Adolescent Depression: Cont.
8. Effects of Adolescent Depression:
Symptoms of Depression:
Mood is sad or unhappy, with very little spontaneity.
Irritability with nagging, whining and angry outbursts (may be mistaken for „naughtiness‟).
Loss of interest in usual activities with energy level changes, which may be increased
or decreased.
Changes in appetite accompanied by weight changes, or „fussy‟ eating.
Changes in sleep pattern.
Capacity to have fun is reduced, the child complains of boredom.
Self-esteem may be low.
There may be social withdrawal such as refusing to visit friends.
They may talk less and may express the wish to be dead, with suicidal attempts or
ideation.
They may express guilt and feelings of hopelessness.
Poor concentration associated with depression may be mistaken for attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
They may present with physical complaints such as a headache or sore tummy and somatise.
High levels of anxiety may predate the onset of depression.
• (VOGEL, 2012)
9. Treatments of Adolescent Depression:
Treatments for youth depression were first
developed for the treatments of adults and therefore
are not tailored toward the adolescent.
Though a proper development of treatment for
adolescent depression is still in the works there are
two forms of psychotherapy used, cognitive-
behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy
(IPT) (Vogel, 2012).
10. Treatments of Adolescent Depression: Cont.
“CBT is the most frequently used of the two, this
starts with psycho-education and includes self
monitoring, e.g. diary keeping, challenging cognitive
distortions, and activity scheduling, IPT addresses
more of the problem relationship portion of
psychotherapy, such as transition or losses, and as
role conflict (Vogel, 2012).”
11. Conclusion
Adolescent depression is an absolute problem in
today‟s society, because of the disregard for what is
going on.
The best step an adolescent can take, is being
proactive on their mental health and take
preventative measures.
Depression is serious and can cause life long
problems and in extreme cases death.
