It is a I, and I think ut the game rom reality, st 3 game. Physical changes, appear- ance and social habits seem to change suddenly when depres- sion has become a part of an otherwise normal teenagers life. I think that two or three factors are responsible for depression: a very low opinion of themselves or a bad sells esteem. A lot of this is caused by peer pressure and not being accepted by their peers, state ed Mr. Dennis Snyder, guidance counselor. ilDepres- sion that Is so severe can go on until something finally breaks; either a person gets help or they do something more drastic like commit suicide? There are symptoms that one can see, Snyder com- mented, ilsuch as dropping out of things they once were in such as clubs and sports, a sudden change in their pattern, constant absentism and also their physical appearance changes. They are not as conscious about their physical appearance as they once were. After a person admits to being severely depressed, the next step is what to do about it. Well, there is a counselor program where the student can actually take a look at what is causing the depression. He can certainly talk to his own doctor who would refer him on to someone else. There, is the Family Guidance Center, and a place called Life-Long-Learn- ing, added Snyder. Life-Long-Learnlng is a counseling agent that provides family and individual counsel- ing. They deal with problems like chemical use, depression, suicide, child abuse and just all around provides mental help, Mo w; K50 0W ow W 00' v Dream dates. We :11 have seme idea of what the perfect date would be and who it will be with. Some of us would like to travel to a far away place while others of us may prefer to stay closer to home. Ted Worley i813 is one who would like to travel. Worley would like to go to a beach somewhere in California with a blond-haired, blue-eyed girl who would be 5'8 or 579V.!, 'lSheid have to have a nice body, 0 $0 of course, so she could wear a two-piece swimming suitfi exclaimed Worley. Both Darren Sherman i85 and Cindy Schottel 136 would also like to travel to California for their dream dates. Like Worley, Sher- man, too, prefers ubig, bed blondels. Christine Schweder '87 would like to travel even farther than California. iiI'cl like to spend time with a really nice guy in the Bahamas, stated Schweder. Nova Boswell $6 is one who wouldnt mind staying closer to home. Boswell's dream date would take place unear a river with a nice scenery. Itld have to be toward the evening on a warm Spring clay. Wherever your dream date may be, whether meat or far, don't stop dreaming. Without dreams we have nothing to work toward. - Kelly Limle Depression Common Among High School Students Snyder explained. 'iSavanneh is a typical community, and It has some depression, but it is no greater than any other community, stated Snyder. Along with severe depres- sions there is always the depression of everyday life. I get depressed when a girl I like doesnt like me, com- mented Rodney Schank '87. l'When I get depressed, I scream and yell; usually a friend gets me out of depres- sion, stated Sheila Reines l86. Patti Nichols '86 commented, When I get depressed, I try and keep myself busy so I forget about being depressed. Depression may or may not touch a part of your life. However, the key to remember is that there are places to seek help. - LaDo-nne Burks
