Comparing Bessie Coleman And Amelia Earhart

On October 5, 2016, Fowlerville High School freshman, Brendan Kangas, committed suicide. His whole school and community was struck with grief, previously unaware of Brendan’s battle with depression. The next day school was held on schedule, and it was a very unproductive day. According to the faculty, kids were crying in classrooms, and uninstructed teachers did not know how to handle the situation (Brent). Many Fowlerville students have struggled academically, unable to cope with the news of Brendan’s death. Fowlerville was not prepared to handle such a crisis and administrators were unaware of the effect Brendan’s suicide would have on the school. Since then, several other students in Brendan’s community have attempted to take their lives as well (Brent). Suicide has not only a problem in

Amelia Mary Earhart had the courage and independence to do anything she wanted to do. This includes crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a plane and sharing her visions for aviation and women. She inspired many, formed the first women aviator’s association, and she tried to fly around the world. That is why I think that Amelia Earhart has made a difference. And as I have said, Amelia Earhart has certainly affected many people.

Amelia Earhart had a lot of challenges in her life, but she accomplished them by being a bold and brave woman. Earhart was young, bright, and full of energy and very curiosity. But she didn't know what she wanted to do with herself (Lauber 26). Until, one day she saw four one-legged men struggling down the sidewalk, and she decided to drop out of school and volunteered as a nurse's aide in the Toronto hospital for veterans (Lauber 27). Even though Earhart loved working as a nurse's aide, she still was undecided about what she wanted to do. After seeing the air show and taking some flying classes, Amelia Earhart was interested in becoming a pilot (Lauber 30).

The girl that is walking down the hall past you, the one you said “reeked”? She has been going to school with you since the first grade, and she’s someone who has never done anything but be nice to you, while all you do is degrade her. What you don’t know, is that her mind is eating away at itself because she is suffering from depression and anxiety. She does not need your words to make her feel any worse; she is already at her breaking point. Suicidal tendencies are so common that about one in five high school students actively considers suicide. Suicide is often at times the result of misery that is commonly correlated with to an emotional, or mental illness in a person. It is thought that there is an understanding as to why some decide take their own lives away, but there is no definite explanation. Theories about mental illnesses range from field to field as to why they exist. One thing that we do know to be truthful about suicidal tendencies are the contributing factors to the idea of suicide. With that being said, Maine West and Maine South have a program that is designed to help students understand this their mental state, and to help them if they are indeed weighing the idea of suicide. If Maine East understood the positive effect that Elyssa 's Mission has at Maine West, and Maine South, then the school may consider adopting the program into their own school.

Over 100 years ago, when humanity looked for new places to conquer, two men looked to the skies. Wilbur and Orville Wright built the first working motor airplane, and after that day, the world took a huge interest in aviation, causing many leading pioneers and innovators in the aerospace field to emerge, revolutionizing the way we look at the skies.

Deadlines, Midterms, finals, papers, all while trying to have a social life can become overwhelming. According college degree search, there are 1,100 suicides at colleges per year. That’s 7.5 per 100,000 students. It has been proven by research being a college today student is much harder than in the 1950’s. College students encounter a great deal of problems, such as depression, time management, and having personal relationships.

Polytech High School has experienced four deaths among students all within one month in the year of 2012. The most recent death was a 17-year-old male on February 15, 2012. This increase in suicides among this particular age group has generated many questions both from the community as well as researchers. According to WBOC, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stepped in to get a better understanding of why there has been increase of suicides and why the increase in this particular age group. A common factor among all four fatal cases were that all four individuals suffered from depression, with strong implications that the depression may have went unaddressed and untreated (Crosby et al., 2013).

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teens who feel that the world is better without them. I want to make a program in school to help kids who are in need of mental assistance and care. One of my friends is suicidal and told me she didn’t feel like anyone wanted her here anymore. I immediately told her she was worth it, that she should keep holding on, but people like her need someone to talk to while staying anonymous, so they don't have to worry about their parents talking with potential therapists. I think a school program could help that. Having somebody to talk to while staying unidentified may be important to a kid who doesn’t want to confide in anyone out of fear. Knowing that they could get help without feeling exposed could help a suicidal

In the perspective of a citizen of the United States in 1922, it seems almost impossible that a woman, let alone an African-American woman, would be responsible for changing the history of Texas and greatly impacting the world of aviation. However, Bessie Coleman broke the mold when she became the first African American to hold a pilot license. Among her qualities of isolation, insubordination, and imprecision, which would typically viewed by society with a negative connotation, came her title as one of the strongest women of her time.

Amelia Earhart was more than just a female pilot, she did a lot of stuff for history that people do not realize to this day. She set many record in flying in her short career and she proved that women can do more than just be homemakers.She also inspired a whole new generation of aviators and dreamers , she helped them see that they did not have to stick to the status quo.Amelia Earhart’s early life lead to her becoming an american icon, aviation pioneer, author, and the first women to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone and the first many flying records for women.

Doctor Constance Scharff pens an article discussing suicide on college campuses and the overwhelmed mental health system that is responsible for monitoring the students’ needs (Scharff, 2015). The article mentions that college aged students more frequently receive mental health services as youth to be able to handle the college stressors in the future. This trend the facilities are ill equipped to deal with the more complicated mental health issues like suicide. Unlike other articles reporting on suicide, this article promotes positive ways to deal with the stressors instead of blaming the system for the rise in deaths or problems.

Every 40 seconds someone in the world DIES by suicide, every 41 seconds someone is left to make SENSE of it. Suicide is when someone intentionally end his or her own life for varying reasons which they find them reasonable and worthy enough to give up their lives. Suicide is event that is hard to cope with especially then the one who dies is young the devastation is even more profound. Suicide recently settled in the 3rd place of the top leading cause of death among 15 to 24 year olds, barely surpassed by homicide and accidents (http://www.kidshealth.org). Many life events that happens on daily basis could lead to thoughts as confusion, self-doubt, bullying, depression, financial issues or pressure to succeed. When It comes to pressure to succeed in some countries like Egypt parents are adamant about the idea that their children must achieve educational ranks and get enrolled in what they see high prestigious majors as medicine and engineering. Suicide would be prevented more psychologically than physically as the tools used for ending one’s life or self-harming usually is accessible to all the people, it could be a firearm, pills or jumping of heights they are all easy to reach methods or tools. However, parents rarely give attention or realise the prevalence of suicide.

Lives are slowly being lost due to suicide and not only is it affecting themselves but also the people who are around them. Suicide is defined as taking of one’s own life and it is an issue that should be given all attention to. Teen suicide has been talked about in every source of media and it still continues to have a harmful effect in todays generation. In the United States the eighth leading cause of death is suicide, within developing teens, suicide is the third leading cause of their deaths (NAMI). There are many signs of someone who is contemplating suicide. And there are many reason for someone to be driven to the point of suicide. Those reasons being if the teenager is dealing with depression, bullying, sexual abuse and abuse

There is too much teen suicide in the United States. Many teens who are depressed have mental issues such as depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, etc. Often, teens who have these issues feel as if they don’t belong. They don’t feel like talking about certain things going on in their life. Issues regarding sexuality, bullying, and abuse make children feel hopeless and unwanted. They feel alone. The suicide rate has gone up dramatically. There are approximately 100,000 suicides per year and 10,000 to 20,000 of them being from ages 14 to 24. Suicide is also the 3rd leading cause of death for teens.

Day to day, teens suffer from peer pressure, problem from home, and stress from academics. Despise their status in the environment, majority of high school students refrain from acknowledging the presence of their reality. The problem in most situations in that students feel shut in, trapped in a never ending misery. How do they cope? What are their ways of dealing? Most students live in denial. Others have friends to confide in. For the devastating part, most students are not as open to these ideas and it leaves them with this alternative: suicide. Suicide is the third leading cause in teens the ages 14 to 19 within rural underserved areas. Suicidal ideation (SI), suicidal thoughts, were surveyed in over 12 high schools and it was found that in the past year, thoughts of (SI) were not shared with peers or even adults in the pursuit of receiving help or support (Pisani, 2012). Because a student spends most of their day at school, it is ideal for schools to provide realistic opportunities and school-based programs to assist with the suicide among the youth. The Surviving the Teens Suicide Prevention and Depression Awareness Program designed four 50 minute session or each high school student. This presented information in regards to factual information about depression, suicidal warning signs, suicidal risk factors and myths associated with suicide (King, 2010). The program provide coping strategies for everyday life, referral sources if feeling suicidal, and how to recognize
