its okay to need help when your alone there is nothing wrong with standing alone,its just you need to stand proud. or ask before its to late.

Gay guys are exposed to much more serious health risks than people of other sexual orientations, and gay people are also more likely to develop a dependance on smoking.

Psychosis

Around one in every 100 people will experience psychosis at some stage in their lives. In Australia, between 0.3-0.5% of males and 0.2-0.3% of females aged 18-24 will have been treated for psychosis within the previous month. Overall, about 50% of people who develop a psychotic disorder will do so by the time they are in their early 20s. The age of onset tends to be a little older in females than males.

Racism

As kids enter grade school, they begin to figure out that the color of their skin has meaning beyond the colors found in a crayon box. Grade-schoolers are starting to categorize people in more sophisticated ways. They'll ask questions about appearances and identity that reflect their heightened awareness of subtle differences in skin tone, eye shape, and hair texture. http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-to-talk-to-your-child-about-race_3657097.bc

The Importance of the Maslow’s Hierarchy Pyramid!!

There is a massive importance of the pyramid that is shown on the right here. It is the basis of human life as we know it. Without it, life as we know it would crumble at an incredible speed. Social lives would perish. Homes would be destroyed. We would not be able to get anywhere in life. That’s why this pyramid is so important for it is the basis of which we base our lives and without it, we would all cease to exist.

This post has been proudly brought to you by Sami Lee insert catchy jingle here

Did you know that around 160,000 young people aged 16-24 years live with depression, so it’s a common illness.

I'm also really proud of everyone's effects on this page! :D

“Depression is often thought of as experiencing feelings of sadness or, “having the blues”. However, there is a major difference between having normal feelings of sadness in reaction to a situation, such as a death in the family, and having Depression.”
