Teen Suicide was about all different causes in wanting to commit suicide and stories from other teens that's drawn the to suicide because of that topic. A few main things that leads to suicide in a teenage life is stress, uncrontrolling sexually activities with people they know, figuring out if they're LGBT, being a victim of continuous bullying, addiction of drugs and alcohol, unsupportive families, and passed on depression. For an example on drugs, some teens think that drugs could help coping and managing stresss and violence. But when it doesn't the side affects of the addiction makes it worse which could cause depression. Also if depression runs in the family then its ok as long as you dont do anything else to increase then the right treatment should help overcome this specific adversity.
In many of these chapters, it had real life stories on how a teen is begginning or already depressed due to different problems in their life and how they deal with it. On page 24, a girl was dealing with depression and her only way of working in progress to overcome it was e pressing her feelings with art. I think this is a great solution on how to solve your problems because doing something your great in and makes you happy brings more joy to yourself which can cause great healing. Showing how you feel in multiple perspectives can help bring healing from yourself and others around you.

Propanganda
Pr oganda is when people my either real life pictures or cartoon to help support what they believe in from a campaign. Like with Rosie Riveter, she influenced women to go into the workforce during WWII because we needed all the help we could get to win this war. This piece of propaganda according to Google Translation says, "Behind the Enemy: A Jew". This picture is simplely trying to state that the Jewish people were the number one reason why the whole east part of Europe was struggling. As throughout the whole holocaust, Jewish people were generating as the main targets to the Germans. This picture is effective to help people believe that the Jewish people are the problem to there troubling time because not only it says it but people will compare it with the things they know about them and do false information/stereotypes. Like Jewish people are known for their religion and how they can get and have goods amount of money. Some people would think that they wouldn't want to share the money that they were being selfish towards it. This picture shows a lot on how the hateful people just saw the Jews. They saw them with a Jewish star on their shoulders, had money, religious, and Jewish older men were known for their long beard and how they all almost look alike. From me personally I would never go to propaganda to see which side to defend because either it's good or bad it's tpstill your own opinion with a group of people agreeing. You could say anything about your topic without knowing actual facts about the person or thing.

Regret
The biggest thing I regret in life is not getting to know my grandpa, my dads dad, because when I was six he had passed away because he was very sick. At the time I felt like it was my fault that I'd never had a relationship with him because I couldn't even remember the last time I'd visiting. Him dying left me sad because I look back and I have no memory of him. It's impossible for me to elaborate on how he was as a person and how he looked like. I think back and I was never determined to spend time with him. I'd want to see my cousin and grandma and etc. The only thing I know from him now is that he used to drive my aunt, uncle, and dad down to this little town when they were 13 to teach them how to drive. To me it's not enough to fulfill that empty space because everyone I know
I have multiple memories of them and just not having this specific one doesn't seem fair to him. If I could go back to that time before he had died I'd ask my parents to see him on the weekends to spend time together and go to church together like we do with our family. I'd want to spend a lot more quality time with him so that I'd know that he was a good man and how his personality was and how he looked as he aged more while I grew.

A Famous Person That I Would Spend the Day With Is...
If I could meet any famous person it would be James Cordan because to me he is a very funny and interesting person. I like how in his talk show, The Late Late Show, he always to be excited or happy to do things with well known celebrity's. Like one thing I like in his show is when he does Carpool with singers which he will interview them about recent events and sing some songs together of that singer. He very good at what he does and if I was to ever spend the day with him I would like to interview with One Direction again since last time they've seen each other they have a really fun time. I'd also be able to finally meet One Direction liked I've always dreamed of doing. If I was to ask him about anything, I would like for him to explain to me on how does he know which type of questions to ask to his guest of the show. I could he keep happiness around when they're talking about a serious topic. I think James Cordan is worth meeting because he brings joy to everyone who's near because a lot of people including me need that in their lives. I also think James is worth meeting because he also encourages people to persevere in things that person is doing so that they can have a good life just like he does which is having people by his side and doing what he loves.

Message With A Commercial
The best commercial I saw from the Super Bowl was the Mercedes Commercial-"Born to be Wild". I liked this one because the message seemed as if the father was trying to figure out words to tell his daughter on how usually people think that men are better then women that a women's education and opinion would be less valid then a man while she is in a car race competing boys. But during the commercial it doesn't exactly say but the father says, " No, I can tell her that there can be a change." This part simply states from overall the whole video that us young girls are the next generation. We will prove our true position in the world to society that will bring people to the unexpected. We are just as intelligent and strong and whatever standards there are to be a superhero just like men are. Gender or race simply doesn't matter in this world because it doesn't support us with or actions in changing the world into a better place.
Learning From Our Arguments
The most terrible arguments I have been in are the ones that include my mom because it would mostly start off by our opinions about a topic being totally different from each other which we can become very defending about. These arguments can be so stressful that at the end we would still upset with each other and it'd take a couple of days for us to forgive each other. Though me and my mom have these arguments where we understand each other's opinions and where they come from. At the first she can summarize how I'm feeling about something that's going on in the house. Often from an argument I'll learn that I can't really fight with my mom because not only it's wrong but she's going to know more then me do to experiences in her life. If I need to go to her for advice I can because she's been my age before. She knows how to handle things better then I can.
