Sexually Active Teenagers Are More Likely to Be Depressed and to Attempt Suicide


Very interesting analysis IMO.:unsure:

Honestly, it's really not that shocking to me.

The article may not be shocking, but it sure makes me wonder why most of my friends aren't depressed or attempting suicide..(Excluding a possible STD)

But I do see a case for the girl's side of this issue.(Pregnancy)

For example, it might be that depressed teenagers turn to sexual activity in an effort to assuage or escape their depression. In this interpretation, the link between sexual activity and depression (presented in Table 1) might be caused by a higher level of sexual activity among those who are already depressed before commencing sexual activity. Thus, depression might lead to greater sexual activity rather than sexual activity’s leading to depression.

I think this interpretation has merit.
