Sexually active teenage girls 'twice as likely' to become depressed

By Jonathan Petre and Jo Macfarlane

Teenage girls who are sexually active are twice as likely to feel guilt or low-esteem which could lead to depression

Young girls who are sexually active are far more likely to suffer from depression than those who remain virgins, according to a controversial new study.

American academics found that teenage sex leaves many girls with feelings of guilt and low self-esteem.

Following a study of more than 14,000 adolescents aged between 14 and 17, researchers said that these feelings could be directly ascribed to sexual activity, rather than outside influences, such as family difficulties.

The findings, which will fuel the debate about sex education in schools, were hailed as 'groundbreaking' by British experts who promote abstinence.

But critics said that the research, which appears in the respected Journal of Health Economics, reflected American attitudes that did not necessarily apply in this country.

The 38-page study, which was conducted by two American academics, used data from the U.S. government-funded National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, based at the University of North Carolina.

It found that having sex apparently doubled the chances of girls becoming depressed, with 19 per cent of those who had sex exhibiting major symptoms of depression, compared with 9.2 per cent who had not had sex.

The study also found that the mental health of boys in the same age group did not depend on whether they were sexually active.

The research follows a separate study by the American Psychological Association last year which warned that the portrayal of young women as sex objects in parts of the media was harming young girls' mental and physical health.

Dr Trevor Stammers, a lecturer on sexual ethics and chairman of the Christian Medical Fellowship, said the new study confirmed that most girls 'retrospectively showed regret about early intercourse'.

He added: 'It also shows as closely as we have been able to show so far that there is a genuine link between increased risk of depression and adolescent females engaging in sex.

'My experience is that, for girls, depression, regret and shame are very common.'

But consultant psychologist Dr David Cowell said the findings were open to question.

He said: 'In general, happiness is governed by a number of factors, including stability, academic success and a strong family unit.

'But there may also be differences in cultural norms and British teenagers probably think differently from their American peers.'

He said the idea that only girls were concerned about their bodies and that boys did not feel such anxieties was 'just not true'.

Well there's happy and then there's happy.

people who are "happy" as in out to have a good time, live for the moment, and other such stuff, are not usually very happy in the content, satisfying, comfortable way that a more reserved person might be.

So they have sex and then afterwards they regret it.

Sorry, I didn't explain that very well.

New test for depression
2 December 2008

A new universal test to predict the risk of someone succumbing to major depression has been developed by UCL (University College London) researchers. The online tool, predictD, could eventually be used by family doctors and local clinics to identify those at risk of depression for whom prevention might be most useful.

Depression Test

This is a really good test for anyone who thinks they might be getting depressed.

She pretty much just said everyone who has a lot of sex is actually very depressed and unhappy.

Young girls who are sexually promiscuous generally are fighting low self esteem/depression.  I don't know what is difficult to understand about this.

Or they like dick...

Look at how what doglady said was worded.  I can just hear a ditzy voice saying.

We have had lots of talks about depression here at peta sucks, and there are alot mixed feeling about the subject. What i want to know is.............
 
What makes people depressed? they obviously think that they are missing out on something. I wonder if alot people in Africa are depressed because they are starving to death or getting raped by neighboring tribes, or have aids or some shit.
 
If you are depressed who do you blame for that depressed feeling? yourself, your parents, society, money, there are alot of questions pertaining to depression, mostly because i believe depression is a fucking cop out and a bunch of bullshit.
