..i.found.it..

So after researching the topic of dating violence and like the rest of those other topics, I realized that it just wasn't for me. So I decided to research teen sexuality and found alot of information but I thought that 'teen sexuality' wasn't a project so I put a spin on it and added 'media pressure'. So now my project is "Media Pressure on Teen Sexuality" and my essential question is "What is the effect of media pressure on teen sexuality?" NOW IM READY, EEEKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...exploring.my.topic...

At first I wanted my graduation project topic to be about the diamond conflict in Sierra Leone but after researching the topic I realized that it wasn't for me. So I started to look around and I came across the topic of dating violence. After I researched it a little bit more and fell in love with it because that topic relates so much to my past and I know this topic can be beneficial to a lot of people, boys and girls. To meet my deadline on Friday, I have to figure out my essential question and find 5 more websites.

First Post

I didn't really know to much about the graduation project until last trimester, when a couple of seniors in my Modern America class where talking about the requirements and the time that they put into theirs. From what I heard from those seniors this graduation project seemed impossible and little ridiculous.

While in my Model U.N. class we studied a lesson on the diamond conflict in Sierra Leone and ever since then I knew that I wanted to learn more about this topic. But I always had an interest in the AIDS crisis, so I guess those are a couple of topics that I am interested in.

Some concerns that I have with this project is that I not comfortable with HTML, or Dreamweaver or Photoshop and just about anything that has to do with computers, so that alone will make this project a difficult task.
