Since the event is planned to be held during Mental Health Week, I plan to create a website that closely correlate with the government website of Mental Health Commission. Their main colour scheme includes the colour blue which is due to the fact that blue is believed to soothe illness and treat pain, which I also plan to use as the main colour of the website along with additional cool colours such as green, sky blue and purple. The interface and layout of the website design will be similar to Mental Health Foundation of Australia (Victoria) and WAAHM (Western Australian Association for Mental Health). I have chosen these sites to refer to because of the simplicity of the design of their sites, which is what I am also after.

As a Digital Design student, I am able to apply the skills I have learned throughout my time such as designing a poster or creating a teaser/trailer and creating a website to help with the promotion of our documentary. Along with these skills, I can also help out with the editing of the documentary and also with fixing any technical difficulties we might face due to my previous experience I gathered from doing Certificate I and III Information Technology during my time in school.

I feel as though asking the Drug and Alcohol office of the Government of Western Australia to sponsor our event. This office will most likely be happy to sponsor our event as they already provide free counseling for treatment of drug and alcohol abuse amongst young people. The department is located in Perth and therefore it is relevant and local to our target demographic. Both their financial and community support will allow our project to be a larger and more effective event and I feel as though their long term involvement in this specific topic will allow us to find contacts relevant to the issue of youth drug abuse.

The ultimate purpose of having a website in relation to the event is to relay information that is not included in a short promotion ad, poster or a public Facebook event. The website can include the typical additional information such as what the event is about, the location and the date of the event.  Other information can also be included such as statistics about the effects of abusing drugs. Another set of information that can be included in the website are contact details of Organizations that can help or provide support to those who are willing to quit or need guidance in quitting drug usage.

Social media can give content providers a useful and effective way to convey their messages and ideas but since they are filled with a vast amount of what seems like endless amounts of different pages and events our own event may get swept amongst the tide. To stand out my skills will be further honed to make sure the content of our social media pages is creative, unique and interesting. I will be using my skills in Creative Writing to provide content is a variety of engaging ways such as haiku, poetry, scripted dialogues, short stories, autoethnographies, and to complement images such as the use of memes. Through a large variety different types of writing the chances of gaining the attention of a person from our targeted audience will greatly improve and they will be more likely to attend our event and view the relevant information about drug awareness that will be included on our page.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the facts alone social media proves to be very effective way to engage with our targeted demographic. Not only is it readily accessible with unique ways to interact but it can also be used as a forum in which people can communicate. People will be able to write to us on these platforms and also have the ability for other people to reply to their post resulting in an atmosphere of openness and democracy.

Large portions of youths today use social media in some fashion. In a recent poll conducted 92% of teens were reported as using social media daily, with 24% of those who say they go online “constantly” and 56% going online just several times a day. Amongst these social media sites Facebook is the most popular with 71% of all teens using the site. 52% of teens use Instagram, 41% of teens use Snapchat and 33%of teens use Twitter with an about 71% of teens using more than one social media site.

For this project I will be having a large scale interaction with people through some of social networking’s most popular forms such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, and Snapchat to raise awareness about the event. These forms of social networking offer some of their own unique ways in which you can engage with an audience.  Some of these unique ways include being able to share links to webpages and videos, options to create a poll to ask questions, and also the ability to create hashtags that allow users to search for a relevant topic.

My contribution to the group and event will stem from the set of skill I have acquired from my disciplines of Creative Writing and Screen Arts in the form of being a Social Media Coordinator. In this role I plan to make youths using social networking platforms aware of our event through unique ways and also alert them to the dangers of drug abuse at the same time.

As a Digital Design student what I can contribute is to create a 30 second animation skit that promotes our outdoor cinema event. This can then be shared through social media such as Twitter or Facebook to gain more people to come to our event.  The animation can simply promote the outdoor cinema event or add factors such as a short plot or in other words emphasizing the effects of drugs on a user’s well being and the people around them. This can also be played as a teaser before our main documentary starts playing.

The Ben and Jerry's cinema is a good location but if we make the event free, we would have to find a method of restricting attendance numbers somehow as they supply their own seating. If we charge for tickets we can use a method such as donating proceeds to drug use prevention foundations and so on. Also, if we provide food (such as food trucks), the publicity is very good for those food companies

The event can be marketed through journalism means. Publicity for the event can also be garnered through news articles for big and independent news outlets. The articles can focus on the drug epidemics in Perth and using quotes from experts and Police officers. Large article pieces in platforms such as 'Sundays Times' lift outs are effective for reaching wide demographics of Australians. Articles can be included in the arts and film sections, utilising pre screening reviews, opinion pieces interviewing experts and police officers on the drug epidemic and letting readers know about screening times to increase attendance numbers.

This website provides the youth to important questions that they need to ask themselves about how drugs are impacting their lives. I think focusing on these questions or maybe answering these questions in the documentary or even around the place to promote the release of the documentary would be helpful. Having many banners placed around the open top cinema would help the youth to engage and start answering the questions themselves. - Riley

Olivia was a popular young girl, that was driven to the ground by online bullying. She ended up taking her life in 2012. Focusing on youth and youth suicide and mental health is so relevant and so many young people are taking their lives, or self harming. The documentary could maybe follow the life of Olivia and other young people, and show their struggles through the use of archival footage and renactments. Focusing on one person or a small group of people could really hit home to some young individuals. - Riley

Olivia Penpraze had attempted suicide on May 1 every year since 2008

Four years on, she couldn't wait anymore and made last attempt on April 3

Her parents made the heart wrenching decision to have her life support turned off after their beloved daughter was pronounced brain dead

Melbourne teen documented her struggle with mental health in online blog

Young woman said her lack of self worth stemmed from years of bullying

Her parents started a campaign to put an end to bullying once and for all

For years, Olivia Penpraze lived a life of secret torture.

A victim of vicious bullying and crushing depression, the Melbourne teenager tried multiple times to take her own life.

The cycle of misery was so horrible that for years she set at date - May 1 - to die and three times attempted suicide, but failed.

Finally, in 2012, her last suicide bid left her lying in hospital, clinically brain dead. Her parents, Warren and Kellie, were forced to make the unthinkable decision to turn off their beloved daughter's life support.

It wasn't until Mr Penpraze went onto Olivia's laptop after her death the shocked couple discovered an online suicide diary their daughter had made, where she spoke candidly about the living nightmare of bullying she endured day after day for half of her life.

The troubled teenager also made an incredibly confronting and heartbreaking five-minute video in which she held up palm cards explaining how she had constantly put on a front but she could no longer hide her true self.

'I guess I look like your normal happy teenager - I wish I was but I'm far from happy and normal,' she says on the cards in the video.

'Im great at hiding all my problems and wear the best fake smile 24/7 so no one knows how much I'm suffering inside.

'None of my friends know anything about me - they fall for my fake laughs and smiles - they believe I'm fine.'

Olivia had been severely depressed since 2003 and began to self harm by 2008 where she made her first suicide attempt.

'I was in year 10 and no one noticed,' she said through her palm cards on the video.

'I had stopped eating and was diagnosed with anorexia weighing around 39kg - no one had noticed.'

It was around this time that Olivia began to see a 'ghost-like figure' who then became an imaginary friend called Bree.

'In 2009, I had dropped out of school and spent everyday crying wishing and praying to die.

'I don't remember 2009. I don't remember why.'

'By 2010, I tried to go back to school but my depression was too much to handle.'

This was when she resorted to serious suicide attempts.

'I have attempted suicide more times than I can count,' she said before showing a handful of her hospital bracelets from the previous year.

'I just want everything to be over, I've been in therapy and hospitalised many times since this started, I've been trying so hard to be happy but I can't anymore.

'I can't hide anymore behind a fake smile, I can't pretend I'm okay. I'm going to go away and no one will notice.'

After changing schools halfway through Year 9 and in between many hospital visits, Olivia managed to finish Year 11.

Olivia went onto say that although she has made many attempts to end her life this did not make her a failure.

'Just because I've failed to kill myself doesn't make me weak, it doesn't make me pathetic or an attention seeker and if you've failed too it doesn't make you any of these things either,' she said.

'You are strong, you are brave and you will get through this I promise.'

She also started to suffer from paranoia, delusions and hallucinations,

'I was terrified for my life, I couldn't stop worrying I couldn't stop making the voices stop,' she explained.

'They're the evil people and they have been trying to kill me ever since and they've only been getting worse. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.'

She described her psychosis as a 'living, breathing nightmare' and a state of mind that no one could ever comprehend unless they had experienced the horror themselves.

'What's it like to live in constant fear of things that aren't even real, to hear all these voices that I can't make shut up,' she said.

'What's it like to experience all these things that aren't real for anyone else, to see all these evil things that closing my eyes or even sleep won't make go away, to feel their evil presence, feel them touch me, hold me, hurt me............I feel them try to kill me.

'But no one can see this invisible killer, so it's like I'm living in a nightmare but I can't wake up.'

After years of questioning why she was living in an inescapable hell, it wasn't until her psychiatrist asked about her childhood that it all suddenly made sense.

'Then it hit me - BULLYING! All my pain is caused by heaps of tiny comments built up over the years.'

'Ugly', 'stupid', 'waste of space', 'useless', 'pathetic' and 'better off dead' are only a small portion of deeply hurtful insults that Olivia had been on the receiving end of for many years.

She began to believe the horrendous comments which made her an extremely depressed young girl who couldn't accept complimentts, could never believe she was beautiful and led to self harm - and eventually her tragic premature death.

She made a desperate plea for people to reach out to their loved ones who suffer from mental health.

'Please talk to your friends when they show signs of mental illness, because you can save their life. That's all I ask of anyone because no one saved me.'

Olivia then implored those who have the urge to bully others to think twice about the crippling ramifications from their cruel actions.

'If you're ever thinking about bullying someone don't because you could ruin their life. You words hurt and could make someone take their life,' she said.

'Bullying needs to stop, no one deserves to be bullied ever - please just put a stop to bullying.'

The desperately unhappy young woman declared in the video which she made in 2002 that although she had attempted suicide every year on May 1 since 2008 - she was not going to fail again.

'Thanks for watching and please remember that I love you and so do many others - your life is worth living,' she says with the final palm card in the video before making a love heart sign with her hands and blowing a kiss to the camera.

Since her death, Olivia's heartbroken family have put all of their energy into creating an awareness campaign through the angels4olivia website and the R.I.P Olivia Penpraze Facebook page.

Mr and Mrs Penpraze made a commercial calling for a desperate need to put an end to bullying.

'We are making a pledge to stop bullying from happening again join us and say no more,' Mrs Penpraze said.

The ad slogan is 'no more angels lost to bullying' as her father said there was an urgent need for more 'one to one help'.

Mrs Penpraze said Olivia became a different person when she was 15.

'She was such a happy kid and would talk to anybody - we lived across the road from a park and if there were kids there she would go down and talk to them and want to play with them,' she said.

'I think at the time I just thought it was just the adolescent years and puberty - her body changing - all that sort of thing.'

But it wasn't long before her parents began to witness her serious mental health issues.

'I used to check on her during the night or she would wake me up and say she couldn't sleep because of the voices in her head so I would have to drive to McDonald's at 3am and get mochas and things like that,' she said.

Her mother quickly realised it was not possible to watch over her distressed daughter all of the time once she became an adult.

'I would say to her "I'm your mother and I want to do everything for you - I want to protect you but I know now you're 18 and I can't look after you 24/7".'

Mrs Penpraze said her daughter had very low self-esteem about her appearance.

'I used to tell to her she was beautiful and she would say "oh you just say that - you have to say that because you're my mother" - she couldn't accept compliments,' she said.

'It took her forever to get ready - if she was going out she would change four or five times - she would do her hair one way and then another way - she was just so self-conscious of her looks.'

Olivia's parents had no idea that her issues had stemmed from being bullied until her husband came across Olivia's blog.

Mrs Penpraze had spoken to the principal when she was in primary school about a few issues but nothing had come to light since.

'I actually didn't really know about the bullying until I actually saw her video that said about bullying that I realised that is what had caused it all,' she said.

Although the confronting footage was gut-wrenching to watch, Mrs Penpraze takes some solace in the fact that Olivia was determined to leave a strong message for her family to continue spreading.

'She wanted to tell everybody because you can be an everyday person in a happy family with two loving and supportive parents,' she said.

'You don't have to be from a struggling family to get depression and anxiety - it doesn't just happen to people on the wrong side of the track.'

It was very distressing for Olivia's parents to read that when their daughter was expressing how she was feeling on her blog there were people who were leaving heartless replies.

'Some people were saying "if you're so bad just go and kill yourself" and they wanted her to post pictures if she cut herself,' Mrs Penpraze said.

'I only glanced over it, I didn't really want to see it, I had enough bad things that I went through with her without having to see that as well.'

The Penpraze's recently sold their home in Melbourne and made a fresh start in sunny Queensland.

'I definitely feel she is at peace now - I know she would have loved it up here being by the water but you cant say "I wish we moved earlier".'

The most striking finding of this year's Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey of drug use and attitudes among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders in hundreds of schools across the country is a substantial and significant increase in vaping. Overall, rates of vaping are second only to alcohol among substances surveyed, with 17.6 percent of 8th graders, 32.3 percent of 10th graders, and 37.3 percent of 12th graders reporting past-year vaping.

Still, the 2018 MTF results also contain promising trends, with past-year use of illicit drugs other than marijuana holding steady at the lowest levels in over two decades -6.1 percent of 8th graders, 9.6 percent of 10th graders, and 12.4 percent of 12th graders. Among 12th graders, the rate of past-year use of illicit drugs other than marijuana has declined by 30.0 percent in the past five years.

For the past three years, many substances have held steady at the lowest levels of use since the survey's inception (or since the survey began asking about them). In some cases, use has dropped to lower levels than ever before. Substances at historic low levels of use in 2018 include alcohol, cigarettes, heroin, prescription opioids, MDMA (Ecstasy or Molly), methamphetamine, amphetamines, sedatives, and ketamine.

Survey findings were mixed in terms of changes in the perceived risk of harm from using various substances and disapproval of people who use them. For example, the percentage of 8th graders who think that occasional use of inhalants is risky is less than it was last year and in prior years. However, among 10th graders, there was an increase in the proportion of students who perceive a risk of harm when trying Vicodin® or Adderall® occasionally. High school seniors also reported increased disapproval of daily drinking, binge drinking, and smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day.

Opioids

Despite the continued rise in opioid overdose and overall overdose deaths and high levels of opioid misuse among adults, lifetime, past-year, and past-month misuse of prescription opioids (narcotics other than heroin) dropped significantly over the last five years in 12th graders. In the past five years, Vicodin® use notably dropped by 58.4 percent in 8th graders, 75.4 percent in 10th graders and 67.2 percent in 12th graders. Interestingly, teens also think these drugs are not as easy to get as they used to be. One in three 12th graders (32.5 percent) said that prescription opioids were easily available in the 2018 survey, compared to more than 54.2 percent in 2010.

Marijuana

Daily, past-month, past-year, and lifetime marijuana use declined among 8th graders and remains unchanged among 10th and 12th graders compared to five years ago, despite the changing state marijuana laws during this time period. Past-year use of marijuana reached its lowest levels in more than two decades among 8th and 10th graders in 2016 and has since remained stable.

Among 12th graders, around six (5.8) percent continue to report daily use of marijuana, which corresponds to about one in 16 high school seniors. Among all grades, perceptions of harm and disapproval of marijuana use have trended downward in recent years. One in four 12th graders report that regular marijuana use poses a great risk (26.7 percent, which is less than half of what it was 20 years ago), and disapproval among 12th graders remains somewhat high, with 66.7 percent reporting they disapprove of adults smoking marijuana regularly.

As with other vaping measures, marijuana vaping increased significantly from when it was first measured in 2017 to 2018. While past month marijuana vaping is fairly low-reported by 2.6 percent of 8th graders, 7.0 percent of 10th graders, and 7.5 percent of 12th graders-these numbers represent respective increases of 59.7 percent, 62.7 percent, and 50.6 percent over 2017 rates. Daily marijuana use continues to outpace daily cigarette use across grades, reflecting a steep decline in daily cigarette use and fairly stable daily marijuana use.

Alcohol

Alcohol use and binge drinking continued to show a significant five-year decline among all grades. Past-month use of alcohol was reported by 8.2 percent, 18.6 percent, and 30.2 percent of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders, respectively, compared to 10.2 percent, 25.7 percent, and 39.2 percent in 2013. Daily alcohol use and binge drinking (defined as consuming five or more drinks sometime in the past two weeks) also decreased significantly among all grades between 2013 and 2018.

Among 12th graders, there were significant declines in lifetime, past month, and daily binge alcohol use between 2017 and 2018. Also, the perception of risk of binge drinking significantly increased among 12th graders in 2018.

The percentage of high school teens who reported ever using alcohol dropped by as much as 58 percent compared to peak years. This year's survey found that 23.5 percent of 8th graders reported ever trying alcohol, which is a 57.9 percent drop from the peak of 55.8 percent in 1994.

Among 10th graders, lifetime use fell by 40.3 percent from 72.0 percent in 1997 to 43.0 percent in 2018. Among 12th graders, there was a significant 28.4 percent drop in lifetime alcohol use from 81.7 percent in 1997 to 58.5 percent in 2018.

Nicotine and Tobacco

2018 is the second year in which the MTF survey asked high school students about vaping specific substances ever, in the past year, and in the past month. In just one year, rates of past-year vaping increased by about one-third in all grades, to 17.6 percent of 8th graders, 32.3 percent of 10th graders, and 37.3 percent of 12th graders. After alcohol, vaping is the second most common form of substance use in all three grades.

Students were also asked what substances they had consumed via vaping-nicotine, marijuana, or "just flavoring." "Just flavoring" was most commonly noted by 8th graders (reported by 15.1 percent), followed by nicotine (10.9 percent) and marijuana (4.4 percent). Tenth graders reported identical rates of "just flavoring" and nicotine vaping (24.7 percent), and 12.4 percent of 10th graders reported vaping marijuana. A higher percentage of 12th graders reported vaping nicotine (29.7 percent) than flavoring alone (25.7 percent), and 13.1 percent reported vaping marijuana. It is important to note that students do not always know what is in the device they are using; labeling is inconsistent, and they often use devices bought by other people. The most popular vaping devices on the market do not offer options that are nicotine-free.

These one-year jumps in vaping are mirrored by changes in the perception of availability; more 8th and 10th graders reported that vaping devices and e-liquids containing nicotine are easy or very easy to obtain in 2018 than in 2017.

The survey data regarding vaping also reveal an increase in the perception of the harm of vaping when nicotine is specifically mentioned. While 22.1 percent of 8th graders reported thinking that it is harmful to regularly use e-cigarettes, 32.4 percent reported thinking that it is harmful to regularly vape an e-liquid containing nicotine. Similar differences were also seen among 10th graders (22.8 percent reported thinking it is harmful to use e-cigarettes regularly versus 31.3 percent who reported perceiving harm in regularly vaping a liquid that contains nicotine) and 12th graders (18.0 percent versus 27.7 percent).

Use of traditional cigarettes remains at the lowest levels in the survey's history. Significant five-year declines-by more than half for daily use and for use of one half pack or more per day-were reported by all grades. Daily cigarette use was reported by 0.8 percent of 8th graders, 1.8 percent of 10th graders, and 3.6 percent of 12th graders in 2018. Lifetime cigarette use among 12th graders decreased from 26.6 percent in 2017 to 23.8 percent in 2018, and past-month use declined from 9.7 percent to 7.6 percent.

Use of other tobacco products, including hookah, smokeless tobacco, and little cigars or cigarillos remained low and declined among high school seniors. Among 12th graders, tobacco use with a hookah fell from a high of 22.9 percent in 2014 to 7.8 percent in 2018. Past-year use of little cigars or cigarillos declined in 12th graders from 2017 to 2018, and lifetime smokeless tobacco use shows a five-year decline in 10th and 12th graders.

Synthetic Drugs

Past-year use of synthetic cannabinoids (K2/Spice, sometimes called "fake weed" or "synthetic marijuana") has dropped significantly in the past five years in all three grades. Since first assessed in 2011, past-year use among 12th graders has dropped from 11.4 percent to 3.5 percent. Past-year use has also fallen from 4.4 percent to 1.6 percent among 8th graders, and from 8.8 percent to 2.9 percent among 10th graders since first assessed in 2012. The MTF survey began tracking past-year synthetic cathinone use in 2012, and since then, there has been a decrease among 12th graders from 1.3 percent to 0.6 percent in 2018 (synthetic cathinones are commonly known as "bath salts"). Use among 8th and 10th graders has remained fairly low and flat.

The documentary about raising the awareness of drugs use amongst youths, would include

- types of different drugs,

- what kind of effects they have on the user - their actions, thoughts in a variety of situations

- problems that could result from frequent drugs use

- how it can affect other people around the user, especially family and friends

- how youths might get introduced to drugs in the first place, what drives them to keep taking it

- include messages from professionals about where to go, how to get better for active users

This will follow the lives of youths from frequent to non-drugs users.

I think that this would be a great venue to hold our screening of the documentary. Is is in the process of being made and would be held at Cottesloe beach. Cottesloe beach is a great venue as it is right on the beach and the beach is a great attraction for the youth. As this doco is about youth and the drug abuse among youth then I think an outdoor cinema at a beach would be the best place to hold it.  - Riley
