The news source I used to find this article was The New York Times and the health topic it falls under is Mental and Emotional Health. This article is about and 10 year old boy who killed himself because of bullying. Seven was born with a birth defect and was bullied because of it. The article was written by Susan Gubar, who has the same disease as Seven. She speaks out about what happened to Seven and events she had to go through throughout her lifetime. The information in this article pertains to teaching health to elementary students because Seven was an elementary student who had felt so lost that he felt he needed to die. We do not know what our students our going through, and I believe this topic should not be sugarcoated. In the classroom, teachers can respond to questions students have about this topic, or invite a counselor in to talk to the students and let them know how important it is to speak to someone if they are feeling down. ]]> 2019-04-28 19:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/juliapaci12326/bskav8jp676x/wish/354809785 Healthy Eating juliapaci12326 https://padlet.com/juliapaci12326/bskav8jp676x/wish/354812122 Anderson, Melinda D.
