Everyone gets sad. Sad feelings can happen often. Most teenagers feel sad at least once a month.

When you are sad, it feels like it will last for a long time. However, the feeling of sadness usually doesn’t last very long — a few hours or maybe a day or two.

When you are sad, the world seems dark. Many times, you cry and it’s hard to stop. Crying usually makes you feel better. When sadness starts to go away, you will completely become well.

If sad feelings go on for too long, it’s called depression (抑郁症). Children who have depression may not know it. Often, a parent or a teacher knows the changes of them. When depression happens, it’s important for children to do something. Sometimes it means talking to someone. Sometimes it means taking medicine. Sometimes both two ways are used. If you have same problems, it’s important to talk to someone. He or she can help you get away from them.

1.Sad feelings usually last for a long time.

2.When you are sad, crying can make you feel better.

3.The depression doesn’t have to do with sad feelings.

4.Sometimes talking to someone can treat(治疗) depression.
