Because I'm a depressed pre-teen myself I (hopefully) can answer this as best as possible:
I think it's primarily because the teenage years are about the hardest years you will go through in your life. It's the time in your life when you learn about everything; thing's you wanted to know, and things you didn't. They are the prime suffering years as well. lol Suffering is also learning. Not to mention hormones... They can really put you in a mood.
There's also alot of pressure. This generation is all about popularity, and the newest trends. And if you don't have that trend, or attitude you're an outcast. And in this generation there is alot more going on than most kids/teenagers should really be involved with.
But with me, the reason why I'm depressed is because I'm loosing my faith. I actually don't think most teenagers are depressed. They're actually quite ignorant of the world around them, and only care about themselves. Therefor they really don't have a care in the world, and because of that they will end of regreting it.

i dont think im depressed or maybe i am who knows
lately though ive just had alot of pressure
basketball, grades, familey, and society it self......
in the end no one realy cares cuz life just moves on whether you want it to or not
i still try to be happy but that dosent always work
i say let us be depressed cuz we have to vent it out one way or another
if theyre emo let them
all i know is haveing people to talk to helps but when theres no one then you turn to other things
i myself dont like to say im depressed makes me hate myself because its like feeling sorry for yourself
sometimes you just have to tell your self that life dosent care and move on

You know what's another thing? Self-blame. When a relationship goes wrong:
"It was my fault. i wasn't good/pretty/sexy/smart enough."
"S/He hates me becuase I..."
"I did this to them."
Perhaps if media remained quiet, most wouldn't be in this situation. Hormones absolutly SUCK sometimes. Sometimes, we run away to see who will follow, you know? Most are so afraid of being alone. they are tired of feeling the fear. That results to drugs, which results to sex (sometimes), which results...Darn commercials. (depression commercial) Anyway, it can result to depression, and suicide. I know someone who blows things WAY out of proportion, and she acts all sad because she can't understand why the flirty 'emo' boy won't stay in a relationship. (He previously went out with another friend of mine. Jerk) So, being a teenager leads to depression? Not always. These things can actually happen to anyone, any age. It's true.
