Teen Girls: Depression? Really? How About Anger and Powerlessness?

[ChillZilla]

18. "We need to allow them to be angry, powerful, physical"

Well, that's great unless you're the one that gets to deal with their anger, and are within the reach of their physical power. My sister turned angry at 13 and didn't stop screaming until she was around 25. My life (brother) was misery when she was around. This wasn't societies fault by the way, it was life.

There's probably a million reasons why girls and women are increasingly unhappy. How would the OP feel if we told girls that their best chance for long term happiness and fulfilment was to get married, to a man, and raise children in a stable home vs get a job and put off marriage/family because it would limit them? Not so fashionable nowadays, maybe it correlates with the depression? I see lots of tv role models for girls, and most are either party girls or professionals. Not a lot of stay at home moms. Not that it's easy or a road to guaranteed happiness, but women seem to me to be hard wired to get fulfillment from raising a family. I know my wife is, even if we all drive her insane sometimes.

Not what you wanted to hear, but it's obvious you're not a big fan of men/boys.
