Best Answer

Often girls feel more pressured and expected to make a bigger effort than boys. Many teenage girls feel they need to watch their body and looks (make-up, weight, clothes, etc.) more than boys do. Additionally girls have to learn to deal with their body's natural cycle. As such there could indeed be a greater tendency towards depression for teenage girls compared to boys of the same age.
