Do depressed teenagers grown up to become emotionally weak adults?

When I say depressed I mean, low self-esteem, inability to socialise, feeling unworthy..etc. Will they always remain that way...? Or do people change with time?Do depressed teenagers grown up to become emotionally weak adults?
Smart people change, but the foolish never do. I had a bad home life when I was a kid and was very depressed. As I got older, I realized that I had a lot of control over my own life and took steps to turn it into the life I wanted to live. Some people never come to that realization. It's pretty sad.Do depressed teenagers grown up to become emotionally weak adults?
if so, Gerard Way must have been one unstable kid
I think it all depends on the person.





When I was a teenagerI use to have terribly low self esteem, I would cut myself, drink to excess and do any drug to numb the pain I felt ( how goth of me)


No one knew...my boyfriend, my parents, my friends. I hid it well...I would be social and get good grades, I had a full time job.








Now in my adult life, I am generally happy...but soooo drained from work and life that people assume I am depressed.





Anyone can change either way depending on the circumstance
depends on the individual...i would say most change over time....but it depends
some may change with time. But if the problem is due to emotional abuse,counseling is probably going to be needed.





As a teen, failure to conform often results in mean peer pressure. Staying true to one's self builds character and tools for handling future problems. Isn't sad though that ppl consider someone socially inept, because they have their own opinions?





if the depression is a chemical imbalance, then medication is likely to be needed.
i don't think so. people do change with time. the bad experiences will only make you stronger.
I used to have these shortcomings when growing up. I still feel the past is with me all the time. But this bad-bad world has taught me a lot and I am becoming clearer now.
Not at all. Usually depression is caused by something, someone. All experiences that we go through in life make you tougher and stronger than what you could have ever wished for. You become less afraid, louder and prouder :D
No. for the most part you will grow out of it, as long as you arent drinking/doing drugs/eating poorly.





In the end it only builds character for later.





When you get older you can tell who has never suffered in their lives. They grow up to be predominately airheads.
I'm about to get real personal on you! lol But I want to give you an honest answer and an example. Through my junior high and high school years I was really depressed. I saw several different therapist, I was on two different antidepressants, and was even admitted to an impatient hospital one time for ';suicide attempt.'; (promise I'm not crazy...but i was going through a hard time.) I had family, friends, my parents took care of anything I needed in life, I had a job, and made ok grades in school. It was just something I was going through. Towards the end of my senior year i started coming out of it. Three years later today, i am totally fine. I lead a normal life, I'm married, and couldn't be happier. I no longer have any thoughts of depression, suicide, low self esteem, or anything like that.
of course, the emotionally deprived people see their print of frustration in personality , it is my personal experience!
No depressed teenagers do not grow up to be emotionally weak adults. Whatever problems you have had does not make you unstable in the long run. You make your own life not by the choices you make today but by the choices you make tomorrow.
OF COURSE PEOPLE CHANGE WITH TIME!!!!!!!!!! dont worry about it, honey. its perfectly normal. people are just different, but its all fine. you know, it is all in your mind. people dont pay attention to others as much as you think they do. lol. dont be self conscious! just think about it this way, when you gossip or talk about someone, is it really that bad? try it for a week! not caring what others think. just try it! for me! lol. you really, trully have nothing at all to loose! I PROMISE YOU!!!!! i used to be sooo shy, but i made a conscious decision to be more confident! and i am! BIG TIME! honestly, i kinda wish i was a bit more shy. lol. i know that sounds strange, but when i see a shy girl, its just so nice cause people are bold nowadays. its nice to be rare! but not if it reacts negatively.
This is such a broad question. It varies from person to person. If the depressed teenager relizes that he/she is sad then ';fixes'; with selfhelp or others help their inablity to socialize then they have a chance for change. I know many adults who have changed in the way you are thinking and they have bloomed to great people. I also know many who havent changed a bit and are still depressed.
Well,most of the people with common cases, they grow with inferiority complex, due to low self-esteem, they are depriving theirselves in any/many ways, they are avoiding people, they usually stay at home and they have less recreational activities than any other teens. Things like these, likely change in due time,if they have a buddy that makes them feel they are important and appreciate every little thing they does.
No, I don't think so. I think as people get older they go through many changes through out their lives. Many attend the school of hard knocks and learn with time and lessons that they have learned along the way.





Low self esteem can be worked through as can an inability to socialize. The more people participate in life and interact with others the more they grow and mature. Every thing takes time and life lessons for people to evolve into who they are going to become.





When we are children we do childish things and have childish ways and fears, that is just how it is. The key is for us to over come our own fears, once we do that we are more able to see our own worth and value. It is a good boost to our self esteems.





When we mature into adults we learn to interact with others, to value our selves and become confident adult people. We put away childish things/fears and we grow up to become strong people.





People can over come many problems/things that worried them when they were children.





I think that the only people who would remain that way are the ones who refuse to interact with others. They refuse to push them selves into situations where they must socialize with others. By interacting with others they can come to see that others value our opinions, it is easier to see our own value when we see that others value us and our thoughts.
