| | Why Am I So Sad? |
 | | Other kids, both friends and enemies, can cause hurt feelings and sadness through fighting, teasing, peer pressure, not giving you support, or leaving you out of group activities. |
 | | Some kids mistakenly think that sad events like death, illness, or divorce are all their fault - but this isn't true. |
 | | When children have depression it is usually coming from a long period of sadness after the loss of someone really close, such as a parent; long-lasting problems at home, including violence, illness, divorce, or alcohol or drug use; child abuse or neglect; rape; and long-term illness, burns, or accidents. |
