    1. sychological​​distress​​revealed​​in​​her​​are​​in​​the​​divulged​​feelings​​of​​frustration,​​anxiety,​​anger,​​rage,​​feelings,suicidal​​thoughts,​​thought​​of​​paranoia​​and​​self-segregation,

      to those that suffer greatly from said ailments i feel it best to make it more aware that there are services out there. NYC Well is a hotline that operates 24/7 and mental health services in general are becoming more available to the public and we do see the city being proactive in that. these individuals are again experiencing a crisis and no one should have to sleep with one eye open at night living in fear. i strongly advocate for better support of anyone who suffers through mental health.

    2. The​​study​​found​​that​​7.8​​percent​​of​​children​​born​​tomothers​​that​​did​​not​​qualify​​for​​DACA​​had​​high​​rates​​of​​mental​​illness

      Of course these people would have a higher mental health illness, to have that hanging over your head would only provoke feelings of anxiety and depression and i can only imagine what it must be like to go through that.

    1. zines occupy a unique place alongside the novels, comics, blogs, and YouTube channels we look to for themes that represent the lives of our students

      This , i can see this as being a really positive thing given that with such short attention spans we want readers to be engaged , with information straight to the point.

    2. zines do not require students to cite sources in the same way that academic essays do

      i see zines as more of a way to get the word out , i cant really see it being used in an academic context given how short they are.

    3. a genre study on zines and inviting teacher consultants to make zines of their own that told a story about their teaching lives

      through collaborative efforts i feel that this is really beneficial to those who want more perspective from others.

    4. We do not typically see ourselves, or our stories, represented in mainstream media. My friend decided to take this issue into her own hands and create the media she wished to see. She shared it with me, knowing that I felt similarly.

      Definitely we see much under-representation within the lgbtq communities.
