While yes, global warming is a big issue and was addressed beautifully, the depression one and the phone ones were annoying. Clinical depression is a DISEASE in which one's brain is unable to produce as much serotonin as a normal brain. This cannot be cured by 'relaxing' or anything else. The only options are therapy or medication, and don't invalidate those people's struggles by saying it's nothing and all in their head. Secondly, phones do not make us any more asocial. Phones allow me to text my best friend while I am on a bus heading home, to call my sister when I want to talk to her, to see my mother's face when she is halfway across the world.
