I think that Mental Health should always be focused on because it is a very serious subject and the more knowledge we have about it,the more lives we may be able to potentially save. Teens go through a lot of change and emotions throughout their lives and it is important to be helpful towards them so they are not overwhelmed.

Task 1 for Mental Health and Teens: Watch for Danger Signs

# data[].attributes.body
The Claim is that we should encourage authorities and any readers to watch for Danger Signs in Teens in terms of Mental Health.
Evidence: Keep communication constant, open, and honest: Your children should not only know that they can talk to you about anything, you have to be committed to broaching topics of concern and do so openly. Talk about your own experiences and fears when you were an adolescent. Let them know that they are not alone; nor are their anxieties unique.
While all of us are subject to “the blues,” clinical depression is a serious medical condition requiring immediate treatment. Watch for:

Changes in sleep patterns

Unexpected weeping or excessive moodiness

Eating habits that result in noticeable weight loss or gain

Expressions of hopelessness or worthlessness

Paranoia and excessive secrecy

Self-mutilation, or mention of hurting himself or herself

Obsessive body-image concerns

Excessive isolation

Abandonment of friends and social groups

This type of evidence is credible sourcing.

Nothing really surprised me with this topic due to having experience with seeing homeless people daily. You go out on the streets of Cincinatti and can easily spot a homeless man or woman. Naturally, you feel bad and want to help, but most of the time no one does. I´ve never had experience with their struggle, but I can certainly sympathize and understand what their life may be like. I think its great that people want to help and I think they should continue to do so in order to get the max amount of people off the streets.

The purpose of this photo essay is to expose and show the struggle of what the homeless in Kenya have to go through each day.
The author used negative connotation in order to really emphasize how bad the conditions were using phrases like society is hiding and words like skinny and rigid.
The author entirely used Pathos in order to make the reader pity who the author is writing about and to really make them feel the struggle that the homeless Kenyans go through.
Negative connotation evoked the emotional feeling of sadness which ultimately got the point across as to how things were and are for these homeless people. This photo essay was meant tug at the heart strings of the reader in order to persuade them to help the cause.

I believe that the idea of suspension is completely unneeded as a whole. Kids that are suspended aren´t being taught how to be better. They are just put in metaphorical timeout until they come back to school again. These articles helped me understand the topic at hand by providing new ways to deal with the old and prove that suspension does not work.

The claim is that suspending students is inefficient and it does not help them in any way.
Support: most school districts continue to use out-of-school suspensions even for minor disciplinary issues even though they tend to actually exacerbate problem behaviors and also may lead to academic problems. Further, out-of-school suspensions are not fairly applied with minority youth being assigned punitive suspensions at greater rates than non-minority youth according to a 2012 report by the US Department of Education.

New research shows that sending kids home from school as punishment may do more harm than good

Every now and again we hear stories about a kid getting suspended from school for some absurdly minor infraction. In October, four teenage boys in Pekin, Illinois, were suspended for two days for eating energy mints in the cafeteria. Last year, there was a rash of suspensions of students for hugging, and examples of cases involving dress codes such as haircuts or t-shirts are too many to list. Although the misdeeds are very small, the incidents raise a bigger issue: does suspending a kid from school work? In other words, does it actually ameliorate behavioral and academic problems?

Increasingly, the answer seems to be no. In fact, suspensions may do more harm than good. As Pamela Fenning and her colleagues noted in the April 2012 Journal of School Violence, most school districts continue to use out-of-school suspensions even for minor disciplinary issues even though they tend to actually exacerbate problem behaviors and also may lead to academic problems. Further, out-of-school suspensions are not fairly applied with minority youth being assigned punitive suspensions at greater rates than non-minority youth according to a 2012 report by the US Department of Education.

Reasons why out-of-school suspensions don't work are fairly obvious. Giving students what amounts to a free day or two off doesn't actually feel like punishment for most kids, especially those who may already be hostile towards school to begin with. But if the student then misses school work, his or her grades will decline, further increasing the student's detachment from the academic environment. Out-of-school suspensions leave kids at home unsupervised and able to cause more problems. And they also do nothing to teach appropriate alternative behavior nor address underlying issues that may be causing the bad behavior.

In fairness, schools often struggle to find alternatives for kids whose discipline problems are truly serious and who may disrupt the learning environment for other students. I've worked clinically with enough kids to understand that, although they are a tiny minority, some can be so disruptive that the interventions teachers have at hand will have little impact. Unfortunately, we don't yet have any empirically-validated alternatives. Some schools have implemented either in-school suspension or Saturday suspension (effectively a Saturday detention) so that students are not rewarded by being excused from school and won't miss out on schoolwork.

As always, school districts may struggle to find the financial resources to provide services for students at highest risk. In the absence of those resources, it's understandably tempting to want to eject some students to preserve the educational opportunities for others. However, that simply kicks the societal cost down the road. Academic failure is a significant predictor of later occupational and legal problems as an adult. Figuring out how to appropriately discipline students at highest risk for academic failure should be a part of discussion about educational reform. Otherwise we risk leaving behind the most vulnerable of our citizens.
