In my personal opinion it depends on the individual. A person who is bullied a lot at school, it will only create or enhance their depression whereas someone who's very popular at school and has a good, large circle of 'in' friends will be less likely to feel depressed. Bullying, teachers and workload is what contributes to depression with ullying being the most significant. During my time at school, I was bullied no matter which school I went to and it felt like people even in lower years than me were out to get me and because they were younger, I couldn't 'hit back' or I'd be excluded from the school and would only create further problems for my family and for myself. Once I left school, ok I was still majorly depressed, but that environment which was compulsory for me to attend was gone, new doors to new possibilities and experiences would open up for me and I felt better for leaving than I did for staying. I would never want to go back to school because of my experiences although I expect people who were with the 'in crod' of my school would say the complete opposite because they enjoyed the fun times with their friends and had a great social life.
