Blog 2.1
New year, new blog. Cringy, right? This genius hour I am going to be teaching myself about depression, anxiety, and why humans get down on themselves as a whole. Many people get bullied, many people go home and cry themselves to sleep at night and I want to find out why our brains sometimes cannot take what life is putting us through. At the end of the genius hour, I myself hope to have conquered a stronger mental ability, considering I have seizures due to the fact I have depression and anxiety. Seizures, epilepsy, funny right? Many people bully me and get inside of my head and are able to taunt me on a daily basis because of things that I may not be able to control, but others may find funny. The world we live in is a sick place but it can get better. This first week I was just looking on the internet about why we get inside our own heads and I also went to the library and got three books, Darkness Visible by William Styron, Please Stop Laughing at Me... by Jodee Blanco, and No One Cares About Crazy People by Ron Powers. Anyways, maybe we can figure this cold world out within these eight weeks.

I think this is a good topic to look into, and it seems to be something that would be beneficial to you. I like that you are reading books for research instead of only using the internet. This will be a good thing to share with the class. Good luck with your studies.
ReplyDeleteThis is a brave Genius Hour topic to take on. It shows vulnerability and that's honorable and respectable because a lot of people can't do that. I'm excited to see what you learn and hopefully I can learn something too!
