The name of the video in which i came across is "Suicidal Girl Makes an Unforgettable Video Everyone Should See." I truly think that this is a video that EVERYONE MUST SEE. It really shows how the rude words that you use towards someone, can really hurt them. This girl was depressed, anorexic and as she says "a cutter" because of what she went through. October 24, 2010 at 2:45 A.M. her life made a change. While trying to escape her horrible reality, she cut to deep and hit a vein. Thankfully she is still alive and has made a change in her life for a better. 

Blog 8: Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?

What can you do to help a teen prevent him/herself from having suicidal thoughts? 

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format. 

EQ: What can you do to help a teen prevent him/herself from having suicidal thoughts? 

•  Being active to be able to forget about anything

•  Avoiding social medias, since most people see things they don't want on there. 

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

 The most important source at the moment would be going to Tri-City. One of my mentors told me that having the children being active would really help the child keep their mind off of things.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

My mentor is Patricia Azevedo and I actually haven't started my mentorship hours but I am going to start next week. I’m going to be mentoring a child that is depressed and has ADHD. This will help me answer my eq because since I will be around to be able to distract her from stuff and see what actually helps a child stay away from suicidal thoughts.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

For my 30 hours I plan on going to a Tri-City since they have a specific group there that focuses on suicide its called TAY. What I will be doing it that I will go on Mondays since that is the day that they have the meeting and actually talk to the people and interact with the group. 

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

What I will do to show evidence is that I will take pictures, interview the workers and patients at the center. 

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

What I will do to go into more depth for in my topic is do extra research from whatever it is that the conversation was about the day of.  I will actually have hands on, on my topic since the people that work in the center have experience on dealing with suicidal teens.

4.  Update your Senior Project Hours log.
