My group will be studying the causes of depression in senior High School students. We will be interviewing senior high school students and will be speaking with the Counselor. Our goal is to be able to better understand what causes depression in senior high school students, we will find ways that can lower the causes of depression. Throughout the project we will be creating short videos on information we collected from the students and counselors we plan to interview with questions and answer we hope will help you better understand the subject.
We plan on observing different studies in books on depression to get more of a better quality of information from doctors who have more of an experienced perspective on the patients they deal with. Us having a better understanding on what we are trying to investigate will help improve us with a more information to help our audience.

The book we have decided to get partial of our information from is 'Coping With Stress' written by Gwen K. Packard. The author has a Bachelor of Science in education from Northwestern University. We chose this book based on the information that the author had based in the novel.
In the book in contains information based on students in school. It explains how stress begins at home, how its caused at school, what causes stress, and how to begin coping with stress. There are ways you can relieve some of it not all but most of it. Throughout the blog we will be listing the information we had contained from the information.

The proposal has been written and updated in the proposal tab. Make sure you go check that out once you have time. Right now we are working on gathering research not only from the book we have chosen, but also the internet. We plan on using as many resources we can within this time to find an efficient amount of information to share with others on our group blog.
We want to be able to provide enough necessary information for our audience so that even those who are not or don't suffer from neither anxiety or depression, are still able to help others in need. Also so they know how to talk and handle these type of situations. In the proposal it states some but most of what our goal will be at the end of this project. Our proposal has meaning to it if you need a little more understanding of what steps we will be taking in order to have a better purpose of what is going on.

We have been recording information and have been saving links that we will soon be posting to both of our individual blogs and our group blog as well. We have decided to interview 2-3 people to discuss there experience in high school and how they dealt with depression and anxiety both in and outside of school. We want to interview a current senior, a recently graduate, and a counselor.
We will be coming up with our interview questions soon and we will be posting them on each blog. You can locate both these interview questions and possibly the videos, or recordings of these interviews in the tab titled "interview. You may also be able to locate the videos or recordings on our home page in our group blog

We have came up with our interview questions and will be posting them very soon. We are hoping to be able to interview our mentors sometime this week so we can upload them for our audience to see. If we aren't able to get our interviews done by the end of this week, we will be sure to have them done and updated by the end of next.
We will also be looking into the "TED TALKS" and learn as much as we can about it. We want to make sure we have enough information before we do our "TED TALK" so we can do it correctly.

While Samantha and I had gathered very helpful information, from the internet, the mentor Ann Conway, and a few current and previous students we had decided on getting a better look into the subject by reading a few other books we rented from the library so we can get a good understanding on more background information. The book we collected were "Depression written by Robyn M. Weaver" and "depression written by Alvin & Virginia Silverstein & Laura Silverstein Nunn"
Soon we will be updating the information we have gathered to share with you all. Today we will be reviewing more "TED-talks" videos. By the end of this week, we will have both our individual, and group blogs updated.

Samantha and I are finishing the last few details for out interview editing. We are putting together additional information that was collected from our books and online articles. Our next step we are stepping to is to progress on our TED-Talk. We have to continue working towards getting the talk done and completed while the days are getting closer.
We plan on scoring an 'A' on this assignment because all of the time and commitment we committed to the blog. We are hoping this solution will help many people in need or in danger of depression from in being from home, school, work, or just your environment in general. We are wanting to make sure that we help find a solution
