First han experience.....

I suppose today I'm experiencing my topic first hand.....
I don't know how to solve it....
But if I do....I guess I'll post that......
The causes don't really need to be said....
But...I have a lack of motivation....Don't really wanna talk.....
And just want to either A) Curl up in a ball... Or B) Sleep for 2 days.
I suppose that's a form of depression....?
I feel better than I did last night....
Thanks to a friend...
So i guess a solution for some people is their friends.....

*sigh* v.v;;;

I have a lack of motivation to do anything today besides rant...
But that is not what this blog is for...
So todays plan is to post all of my old assignments i did not do, even if there so late it wont be graded.
I need to post that....it helps me too.
If i finish posting my terms and sites, I'm going to format my sound recording of my discussion. So you can listen to that if your intrested. I need to make it smaller and cut some parts out...

My Image?

Ok, this is my first attempt at a collage thing...
Give me feedback?

Interview details (No sound recording yet)

Ok, So I need to get the sound files off of my computer at home.
But basically how it went, I got to sit in on a chat session between about, 6-8 people, who have all received help for their depression. There ages ranged from 12-19 (At least in the one I sat in on). And I listened to them chat.

My main complication was that, when I was listening in, my internet connection kept cutting out and disconnecting, so on the sound recorder there is a very loud, and annoying *PING* noise, of the "Call dropping" as the skype program calls it.

Another one was my choppy microphone, I had to repeat any questions I had multiple times. I was aloud to listen into their conversations and ask questions, this is like a, What I'm doing with my life now, compared to what I did then chat. And despite the fact it was a 2 hour conversation, It was kind of interesting, but some stories you hear more than one time.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Last night I did online Interviews.
I'm going to be posting my interviews.
It was thanks to an outside source I was able to do this.
As well as the chat program called skype.

I also narrowed my topic even more to depression caused by dysfunctional family's.
That is one of the more common causes for teen depression.

Provide me with your help and be rewarded with gratitude :3

Ok, So I now know I want to do a topic on teen depression.
Shannon and Kristen have been giving me feedback in a few of my entries. (Thank you both)
But I was wondering If anyone else could help me think of what i can narrow it down too.
I've got a few idea's and such thanks to my comments.
