All Sides with Ann Fisher - 2-22-2023 A - High rates of depression among teen girls
A 2021 snapshot by the Centers for Disease Control reveals that nearly 6 in 10 teenage girls in the U.S. struggled with depression, with even higher rates among LGBTQIA+ youth.
And nearly 15% of U.S. girls reported being sexually assaulted.
The two findings are related.
Although some reports of depression are attributed to pandemic-related isolation, their stories of sexual violence paint a dire image of what it means to be a girl in this day and age.
We look at the issues behind the challenges and strategies for saving them.

Jodi Ford, Professor and Director of the Stress Science Lab at The Ohio State University College of Nursing
Erin Upchurch, Executive Director of Kaleidoscope Youth Center, a drop-in center for LGBTQIA+ youth
