-Long term stress is referred to as Chronic stress, which can be very harmful.

-Finding our stressors and what triggers them is a good way to deal with your stress. 

-Stress can affect the Physical part of the body majorly.I learned that Stress is a good thing for you. It helps you be more alert and aware. It can be very harmful to the body physically and mentally you just have to learn to deal with your stress. It is a very amazing thing that we have stress. 

I chose this project because I wanted to learn more about the things that can stress us out and how they affect us. It is also something all of us deal with daily. I wanted more insight on this topic. This topic is a great way to give more information to a person that deals with stress. I wanted to find a way to give more facts and information to young people and adults because it’s something we have to deal with a lot. I wanted to make sure that young people and adults can identify their stressors and how to deal with them in a healthy way. I think it meets my audience best because everyone deals with stress on a daily basis. It is very important we realize that stress isn’t a bad thing. Although it is frustrating, it’s a good thing. 

My topic was on sleep https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMej3Kkgd/ what I found out about sleep was that teens need more sleep than most adults, and that teens are in their main phase of growing so sleep helps with growth and development of their bodys, and that Teens not getting enough sleep can cause them to be very unsafe and it can cause them to have depression and make it really difficult for them to grow in life. The main reason I chose to do this project on sleep is because i know that a lot of teens are sleep deprived and i know that sleep is important i just didn't know what the right amount of sleep was right for my body

What I took away from this project is that not everybody is the same and that there really is no right amount of sleep everybody needs it is different for everyone the reason i say this is because base on the research i found and the experiment i did the research say that my body needs 8-10 hours of sleep https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMejTjMuq/ but when i would try and get that amount of sleep my body would wake up at 7 hours of sleep and i would be away and when i would only get 5-6 hours of sleep i felt well rested and ready for that day. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMej3bG1m/

So the way my research help ther having the same problem i am having is that you can't necessarily trust what other people say your body needs its your body and you know what your body want and needs so you know the most about what your body's need and everybody is different so you can't just copy what someone else needs and think that you the same a them and think that you need what they need you might need more or less sleep than them to be at 100% but you need to find out that number on your own.

As we follow the endless river and find

That flow is as endless as time

Thought is an endless circle 

What makes it go round and round

As thought is a concept, flow is a feeling

Flow and thought go hand in hand

Each complimenting each other

As one gives direction

The other gives and Idea

As flow divides the Idea

It comes back around and brings new meaning

Flowing onwards forever in this endless cycle 

Of personal concept that one may call flow

40 percent of U.S. online users aged 18 to 22 years reported feeling addicted to social media

We spend a lifetime average of 5 years and 3 months on social media.

3 years, 2 months and 1 day – this is how long it took to go from the first tweet to the billionth. Now we’re tweeting 200 billion times per year. 

In my Art Piece I drew needles with the social media inside. This is representing the addiction and harm that comes from to much social media. I chose this because I thought that if people could see it this way they can realized that social media is addicting and can have some serious harm on your mental health. Doing this project and doing my research on social media I have found that it has trained out brains to be thinking a different way and draining our mental

Jess sat in health class staring blankly at the guest speaker.  She was talking about how food does something to something.  Jess didn’t care.  She glanced over at her friend Jake.  He was sitting there writing as many notes as he could to absorb as much information as he could.  He raised his hand eagerly.

“Dr. Gray, how does food affect our moods?” 

“I am so glad you asked that Jake!  Think about your body like a super nice sports car, what kind of fuel would you put into it?  The cheap stuff of the super expensive gas?” He did not hesitate: “the expensive stuff.  Because any other kind would not be good for it.”

“Very good!  The sports car is just like our bodies.  We need to fuel it with the best foods to be able to run the most efficient.  When we eat the raw garden foods and fresh meats, our bodies send out this chemical to our brain telling us to feel good.  When we are eating junk foods our bodies can’t send that chemical to our brains to tell it we are feeling good. Does anyone know which specific foods are considered super foods?”  Dr. Gray consulted her seating chart, as she did so her eyes glanced over the sheet at the class.  For half a millimeter of a second she held eye contact with Jess.  Jess had opened a candy bar and was munching on it happily. 

“Jess?  What foods are superfoods?”  Jess stopped chewing and took her time to swallow before she answered. 

“I have no clue.”  She shrugged and went back to her candy.  The Doctor asked the boy behind Jess.  In truth Jess did know that healthy food was good for her but it did not taste as yummy as high saturated fats and chuck full of sugar, candy.  

“Green foods like broccoli, bananas, avocados, blueberries, and any foods that can be digested easily.” The boy answered. 

“Very good, Harrison.”  The Doctor wrote the foods on the board and talked on and on about how we should eat all three meals in a day.  Jess rolled her eyes and tried to take another bite of her candy bar.  It was all gone, she had at it too fast.  She put her head down on the table and fell asleep. 

     When she woke up the class was gone.  All of the chairs were empty.  She must have slept through the end of the day.  Where was he teacher Mrs. Daily though?  Jess shrugged and walked out the door towards home.  As she walked she stopped by the vending machine and bought two more sugary treats.  She did not feel bad about getting more candy bars because she had made a pack to herself that she would only limit herself to one day instead of the usual three, starting tomorrow.  As she opened the door to the school yard she realized that something was very off.  The usual red and yellow playground was black.  The afternoon sky should have been blue, but it was a deep grey.  She thought back to the doctor’s presentation.  She said that sugary foods would make you feel groggy.  She turned a corner and sitting on the sidewalk was a king sized Kit Kat bar.  

Jess sat straight up in her chair.  She rubbed her eyes.  She looked around the room and saw that all of the students were still there.  The doctor was rapping up the presentation on healthy food for the mind when Jess raised her hand.

“Food is supposed to make us feel good, but why does the healthy food not taste as good as the sugary food?”  That got a small giggle from some of the students.

Dr. Gray answered, 

”It is good to eat foods that you enjoy, but it is also important to eat foods that will help your body grow and help you have a happy mind.” And with that she said goodbye and left the classroom.  Jess sat there and reflected on her dream, the grey must have stood for the not good feeling after eating processed foods.  

   As she left the class room to go home that day she broke her last candy bar in half and threw one half away and stored the other in her pocket for later.  She could not give up the sweet treat all the way but she could eat less of it. 

I chose this topic because it is something that I personally struggle with and I know many others do as well. I felt that watching making a video would be a bit more interesting than just reading a paper, especially since the video presents some things that a lot of people might not even be self-aware of. It's important to focus on the good of social media instead of letting it negatively affect our mental health, so maybe this will help you know what to look out for.
