Dear Megan, I just wanted to say: ell done. Your magazine looks good. And I especially like your article on 'Teen Depression'. I've been thinking back to when I was a teenager, and I honestly can't remember this being as big a problem in the 1950s and 1960s. I can remember being a bit down sometimes, and I can remember friends being in bad moods for short periods of time. Maybe things were easier. There weren't anywhere near as many 'broken families' in the 1950s. Parents stayed together - almost no matter what - because getting a divorce was very difficult. There weren't the same pressures on kids then. None of my friends got involved in 'binge drinking' - and most started drinking after they turned 17 or 18. There were drunks around - but they were all older people - mainly older men.Many had been involved in the 2nd World War.

Anyway - good on you for bringing the topic up.
