Depression seems like a mental/physical issue in adolescents(girls) leading to suicide.
There are cases of eve-teasing and harassment of girls and women
The specific case of a local journalist harassing 20 young boys in Hemmadi is recent and would be something to work on
Concerned for Working Children (CWC) is an NGO actively working in the region on Adolescent girls’ health and sanitation.
When I typed `teenage boy kundapur', I was able to find many articles that covered about teenage boys dying due to drowning, suicide and accidents. I am not sure if it is a specific occurrence here, but I can probe more into it.
There are some initiatives by the government, for an example an awareness program at a college was conducted to raise awareness on adolescent health but it was not exact in one of the GPs we are working with.
Communal issues have affected muslims girls in this region with their choice of wearing a hijab.
