13-19 Adolescents

Although some people may think hope was not an important factor during the Holocaust, hope was an important factor and a powerful force during the Holocaust, because hope helped to make people believe there was still a chance of survival and hope always helped during the worst situations. During the time of World War II, many of the prisoners of war had been through alot and some had given up on survival. But for tons of them, hope helped them to persevere through their toughest obstacles for survival and sometimes gave them life-changing miracles.

Some artifacts are of such vital importance to our understanding of Ancient cultures that they are ultimately unique and utterly irreplaceable (Calvert 2). Many artifacts such as the Funerary Mask of Tutankhamun were permitted to leave Egypt in order to be displayed overseas (Calvert 2). On the other hand, the Palette of Narmer is significantly valuable that it has yet to be permitted to leave Egypt (Calvert 2). However, reproductions can be viewed within various museums. One of the most significant King’s in Ancient Egypt during the early dynastic period was known as Narmer. Many individuals consider him vastly significant as he was the unifier of Egypt and founder of the First Dynasty, thus the first King

Youth face several challenges with regard to mental health treatment. While eligibility for Medicaid is certainly a huge issue with young adults, there was one surprising issue that the youth reported as influencing their treatment decisions. The teens stated they felt forced into mental health treatment while in care, even when they did not feel they needed therapy. The adolescents also reported a loss of previously established supports and being inadequately prepared to go out into the adult world as they were never taught necessary life skills (Sakai, et al., 2014). This was consistent with the findings in other

It’s estimated that the onset of 50% of chronic mental illnesses occurs by the age of fourteen, and about 75% by the age of 24 (NAMI, 2015). The most common mental health diagnoses in the United States are mood disorders, which include the spectrums of anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Unfortunately, 60% of adults and 50% of youth did not receive medical services for their mental health conditions in the previous fiscal year (NAMI, 2015).

“Nearly 5 million children in the U.S. have some type of mental illness” (Goldberg). It is agreeable that there are many young children that deal with mental illness every day. Schools should be concerned for every student’s well being. Moreover, mental health is a part of a person’s overall “well being.” Therefore, schools need to make the mental health of students a stronger focus and implement plans to keep students mentally well and educated. To help create a positive, mental health aware environment where students feel open to seek help, high school students should be educated on how to be mentally healthy, be given a safe place to seek help, and be encouraged to monitor and maintain their mental health. Mental illness and mental health care need to be a more eminent priority in our society, starting with high schools.

In today 's society, people across the world are coming to a better understanding of the problem of mental illness, and the need to provide help for those suffering with mental health related issues in our communities. Sadly, this acceptance is still very low worldwide. In Ontario, “approximately 70% of mental health challenges have their onset in childhood or youth. In other words 1 in 5 children and youth have a mental health challenge” (Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services, 2016).

Mental illnesses are very common in the United States, with one in five of adolescents having a diagnosed mental illness and in the last year less than half of these adolescents have received proper treatment. The most common mental disorders, anxiety and depression, can disrupt daily life and result in suicide, which is the third most frequent cause of death in teenagers (“The Office of Adolescent Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services”). Ten percent of adolescents did not have health insurance in 2013 and those who did, had a very limited amount of mental health care services provided to them (“The Office of Adolescent Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services”). It has been proved that it is even less likely that adolescents who are poor, homeless, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender will receive the care that is necessary for their health and even life (“The Office of Adolescent Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services”). Mental disorders are not only an

According to the Dynamic Business Law eBook; the four elements to a contract are Agreement, Consideration, Capacity and legality. The first element of Agreement would be deemed to exist if an offer is made and accepted creating a mutual agreement between the parties. An offer establishes criteria set by the “offeror”, usually referred as terms and conditions to another party, the “offeree” this is the first step in creating a contract. The second element of Consideration would be deemed to exist if “something” is negotiated by the promisor from the promise in return for signing or agreeing to the terms of the contract. The third element of Capacity would be deemed to exist if the parties are in sound mind and body, and over the age of consent. The fourth element of legality would be deemed to exist if they have a legal object, meaning the parties purpose of entering into a contract should be legal and follow the state and/or federal laws. (Kubasek, 2015, p. 305)

Compared to previous generations, Millennials are significantly less religious (Twenge, Exline, Grubbs, Sastry & Campbell, 2015). Since 2010, 12th grade adolescents were seventy-five percent more likely than adolescents of previous generations to say religion was not important to them. Cultural shifts toward higher individualism and materialism has provided a possible correlation to this decline in religious significance. Surveys conducted since 1972 showed incremental increases in the number of American adults claiming no religion at just eight percent, but since 1990 there has been a sharp and steady increase to 20 percent as of 2012 (Hout, Fischer & Chaves, 2013). With each new generation, there has been a decline in support for traditional

About 1 in 5 youth aged 13–18 experiences a severe mental disorder at least once in their lifetime. Over one-third of students with a mental health condition, age 14­–21 drops out—the highest dropout rate of any disability group. With these statistics, it shows how many people are not gaining support and are just giving up because they cannot find convenient help. If this issue is shown in the classroom, then the awareness rates will rise, making more establishments for support and treatment.

Pre-adolescence is a crucial stage in a child’s life because it is during this stage that kids can learn the coping mechanism that can prevent complications later on in life (Britton et al., 2014). Some children and adolescents may not have the opportunity to seek proper mental health care during their childhood. This may be due to parents overworking or simply not being able to afford quality mental health care services (Bucci et al., 2016). However, schools can serve children and adolescents as a

The National Alliance of Mental Illness (NAMI, 2015) estimates 1 in 5- 48.8- million adults in the United States are diagnosed with a mental illness each year. Amongst adolescents and children, it is estimated 1 in 5 youth ages 13-18-(21.4%) have, or will have a serious mental illness every year (NAMI, 2015). For children ages 8-15 the prevalence of experiencing a serious mental illness at one point in their life is 13% (NAMI, 2015). Although, children and adolescents are most commonly diagnosed with mood, conduct and anxiety disorders, there are those who occasionally experience psychotic disorders such as early onset schizophrenia.

Mental illness is quite prevalent in our world today, especially among our youth. I know family members and friends who struggle with depression. My sister dropped out of college and my brother left high school because of this mental illness. It is an internal struggle that is not as easy to overcome as some believe. Over the years, I have felt helpless in my siblings’ situation. It is hard knowing I can’t just automatically make everything better, nevertheless I try to stay positive. One of the greatest lessons I have learned is that there is always something to look forward to, no matter how small. They

Each adolescent will be able to state what chlamydia is, how chlamydia is contracted, ways to prevent contracting chlamydia and where to go to get tested and treated for chlamydia, at the end of the teaching session.

This study aims to research the emergence of gender differences in the language of children (Ladegaard, 2002). It is noted within the article that there has been a number of studies that put forth opposing views regarding the differences in language between the genders. Some researchers will argue that there is no gender difference in the sociolinguistic abilities of adult males and females and that there is often an overlap in the use of language between the two groups. However, Ladegaard states that there is a great deal of evidence in many sociolinguistic studies that there is, in fact, differences in the language used by adult males and females. Ladegaard makes reference to a number of studies that have concluded that adult male speakers will prefer to use vernacular forms of language, whereas adult female speakers will prefer to use standard speech forms. Since there is substantial findings with the difference of language between adult females and adult males, it is argued within this article that there must be an age in which the language differences begin to form (2002).
