Writer Statement

American teenage girls are increasingly depressed, saddened and considering suicide more often than in past years, according a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study published Feb. 13.
While thousands of teens surveyed by the CDC reported more mental health struggles, girls had more persistent thoughts of sadness or hopelessness and more frequent thoughts of suicide than boys, the report said. Girls also experienced more incidents of violence. "twenty minutes" takes a snapshot into one such story.
