Jack had been diagnosed with severe depression, and he said: "I've always felt like I was less important than everybody else, I think this stems from having an abusive older brother and a father who seems disgusted by the sight of me most of the time." A negative or stressful situation at home can cause depression in teens, especially if they are being abused. Whether is be verbally, physically, or sexually, abuse can hurt anyone, and can deepen feelings of sadness and worthlessness. Also, having a parent that does not support a teen can cause these feelings, because they feel like a failure.
