Ive noticed a lot of 17 yr olds with the same problem?

Question

fewer friends, depressed, unusual intrest in alternative energy and wilderness... is it just me or am i really seeing this in 17 yr olds, even ones i dont know much. plz?

Answer 1

I don't know about you, but it was at that time in my life when I kind of got bored with everything. Once the people you see find another hobby/job/friend etc. then that 'problem' will fade. It might take a while (months to years) but eventually people find a new reason to get interested in life again.

Answer 2

We all go through different stages throughout our lives, and the younger you are the faster you change from one to the next.

At 17 you are facing the end of adolescence; the loss of long time relationships; having to choose a career and thus giving a meaning to the rest of your life. It's depressing...
