It's hard to imagine that a tween (a child between the age of 9 to 12) who is supposed to be happy and enjoy their childhood can be depressed and feel overcome by burdens and pressures. Parents many years ago were not faced with quite the same trials and tribulations when they were kids that kids are confronted with today.

For example:

• Peer pressure has taken a whole new level in terms of sex, dating, and drugs with new diseases that did not exist 20 years ago
• Schoolwork has become more demanding while some kids are finding it hard to keep up the pace
• Electronics have made it easier for kids to isolate themselves, which deteriorates their social skills

About This Course

Depression is a very serious condition for anyone. Tweens are at an age in particular when depression sets in because of things such as crime, violence in schools, the threat of terrorism, drug abuse, and other pressing issues that they face. Unfortunately, the media plays a heavy role in building up anxiety and depression in tweens by what they see on TV. Stresses at home can also trigger depression, such as parent separation and divorce (which is at an all-time high), as well as sibling rivalry.

It is estimated that 1 in 5 tweens is dealing with depression in some form or degree in America today!
