That can go two ways though, there are also a lot of teens who have their problems dismissed as normal teenage issues because people think they are just being immature and acting out for attention....when they really do have a mental illness and need help. I attempted suicide at 15 because I was always the outcast everyone picked on and I blamed myself for all my problems.
