The Power of Depression in Shaping our Lives | Jane Krukiel | TEDxYouth@Wilmington

As a middle school student Jane found the social pressure, conformity and jealousy were challenges that she wasn’t prepared for. Although we will always be vulnerable to depression, with preparation we can face it. Jane shares three keys that will also help others overcome depression.
