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...

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.
