Suicide rates for teenagers skyrocket over the holiday season. The teens whose stories are printed below and others like them experience serious depression. All the build up about holiday togetherness and good times makes their loneliness or bad home situation that much worse. Someone you know may be a victim of depression this year. If you are aware of depressing situations coming down in the lives of your friends-the loss of a relative or a friend or the pain of an ended romance or too many disappointments-don't let them face it alone.
