The question has been, and presumably still is being asked, it just wasn't asked in this survey. https://health.usnews.com/health-care/patient-advice/articles/2017-08-22/why-teen-girls-are-at-such-a-high-risk-for-depression https://health.usnews.com/health-care/patient-advice/article... https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/girls-women-and-wellness/201804/13-and-depressed-why-young-teen-girls-are-risk https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/girls-women-and-well...

The survey shows that 57% of teen girls feel "persistently sad or hopeless." Persistent sadness and hopelessness is not the kind of thing that you'll get a useful answer for when you directly ask why they feel that way. That said, the article mentions several factors that are contributing to the increase in sadness and violence among teenage girls in the United States. Some of the root causes mentioned in the article include traumatic experiences, including sexual violence; interpersonal stress from school, peers and home; a rise in violent behavior, particularly targeting girls; and stigma and violence toward LGBTQ+ teenagers

  That kind of sounds like an invitation to a cult because it splits the world into exclusively good (the in group) or exclusively bad (the out group).

What a waste! That would have been a great addition to the survey!

  I agree. It seems incomplete without such a question.
