Individual therapy. This is suicide treatment that involves therapy just for the teenager to help him or her work through feelings and suicidal thoughts.
Family therapy. Sometimes family therapy works best in instances of teen suicide treatment. This can provide a supportive environment for the teenager, as well as help the family learn how to cope with the problem and work together.
Hospitalization. In some cases, it is necessary to provide a teenager with a secure, safe and constantly supervised environment. Most in-patient suicide treatment includes therapeutic aspects, and offers the kind of supervision that might be necessary in extreme cases.
One of the most important aspects of teen suicide prevention is support. The teenager needs to know that you support and love him or her, and that you are willing to help him or her find hope in life again. One of the most effective ways to prevent teen suicide is to recognize the signs of suicidal thoughts and feelings, and seek professional help. Some of the most effective teen suicide prevention programs consist of identifying and treating the following problems:
All of the above issues can be difficult for a teenager to cope with, leading to helplessness and discouragement, which in turn can turn to self-destructive thoughts in order to make an escape from the seemingly insurmountable pressures of life. Getting help for underlying problems, which almost always include teen depression can lead to more effective teen suicide prevention. Your support as a teenager you know enters therapy can help him or her more effectively recover and know that there are people who want to help him or her deal with the issues of life.
What I wound up choosing was community service hours. So I looked up for all fifty states how much people who didn’t wish to volunteer got paid per hour. Then I compared that to the population, minimum wage, per capita income, and if they officially spoke English or not. I found this not only to be doing as my project but also being able to look up this information and work with it. Then the other fun part of it was having to write the speech in which “if chosen” you would recite to President Obama. So yea definitely the funniest project and the project that was coolest and most open that we got to do.

Sorry folks but this will but this will be the last one. There will be know more about the economy trying to take your money or anything else so enjoy this last one and I hope you’ll like it!
Today on the economy it seems that president Obama says that that the economy is going up. Now some of you might be thinking is the true here is what he says "in the fall of 2008, one of the last rallies of my presidential campaign was here in the Cleveland area. It was a hopeful time, just two days before the election. We knew that if we pulled it off, we'd have the chance to tackle some big and difficult challenges that had been facing this country for a long time. But then he also says We also hoped for a chance to get beyond some of the old political divides - between Democrats and Republicans, Red states and Blue states - that had prevented us from making progress. Because although we are proud to be Democrats, we are prouder to be Americans - and we believed that no single party has a monopoly on wisdom"
Now when I think about what he says I think maybe getting beyond some of the old political divides -between Democrats and Republicans, Red states and Blue states - that had prevented us from making progress could have helped our economy make some more progress. But if you think it only a though.
Well that’s all the info I have I hoped you enjoyed my blogs and information bye!

My previous articles discussed homelessness as a whole and their education. Now for my last article I am going to be discussing the jobs. Homeless people have a hard time finding jobs due to many problems.
The most common jobs for a homeless person are? Well let’s begin with the most opinionated answers, prostitution, selling their selves. People think that because when you enter in certain neighborhoods that are what you see, well that is what I see. I live Olney, what people call the “ghetto”, there are certain areas where the “action” takes place, and the main place is Second Street. Where the drug dealers and homeless people spend there days and nights.
If you look around that doesn’t seem much like an opinion but more like a fact, if you think about it they don’t have much time to get a REAL job. People are homeless due to many reasons; a good 65% are drugs. They only care about their next fix, so selling them selves is their answer. It is not the right one, but it is the one. On the other hand, some a good 30% are homeless due to the lost of jobs and homes. What are they supposed to do in order to get money to support them and their families?
The United States does offer shelters to help the ones in need but some people who are just too afraid to ask for help. Some shelters can help find jobs and homes, it takes time but it the best option.
Why don’t people help others instead of their selves? You don’t always come first.
Well that’s it for my blog edition for now, hope you enjoyed it.

Types of tests/ what happens to people with the HIV/AIDS?
The most common HIV
tests use blood to detect HIV infection. Some blood tests take a few days for
results, but rapid HIV tests can give results in about 20 minutes. All HIV blood
tests that come out positive have to be double-checked using that same blood
sample. The results to the second test can take a few days to a few weeks to
get back to the person. Another type of test that is used for HIV tests are Oral
Fluid Tests, which use oral fluid (not saliva) that is collected from the mouth
using a special collection device. This is an EIA antibody test similar to the
standard blood EIA test. A follow-up confirmatory Western Blot uses the same
oral fluid sample. One other HIV test is the urine test. The sensitivity and
accuracy of these tests are kind of less used than the blood and oral fluid
tests. This is also an EIA antibody test similar to blood EIA tests and
requires a follow-up confirmatory Western Blot using the same urine sample.
As
the disease progresses, symptoms may appear or get worse. Some people who have
HIV do not begin experiencing symptoms for up to 10 years. When symptoms do
appear, they can include:
After being infected
with HIV, your body works hard to attack the virus. With your body fighting,
the virus can't make as many copies of itself. Even though you still have HIV,
you'll begin to look well and feel well again. However, during this time, the
virus is still attacking your lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are the centers of your
body's immune system. The virus may also attack your brain tissue and slowly
cause damage there. Over 10 to 15 years, HIV kills so many CD4 cells that your
body can no longer fight off infections. When your CD4 cell count is 200 or
less per mL, you have AIDS (a normal count is 600 to 1000). Once you have AIDS,
you can easily catch many serious infections.

One Shot Man Down
The End
Hello reader, this will be my concluding blog to this series. In this last blog I will summarize the first 2 blogs (for those who didn’t read) and presenting some new facts. Also in this blog I will be providing some facts and things about gangs that I should have added before.
Blog two talked more about locations of gangs and how it’s spreading to rural areas.
In blog one I talked about the different reasons why people join gangs and what causes the violence. There are a lot of reasons why people join gangs. Some are for protection, a second family, peers or even family run gangs. Turf is the first word that comes to mind when it comes to gang related violence. Since 2 gangs are in the same area it may cause violence or they just might want to take over each other’s “turf.”
You may ask how does a rival gang know when another gang is on their turf? Gangs do something they call “tagging.” Tagging is a slang word for making your mark. They do this by spray painting they’re gang sign (a sign knowing its them) Sometimes that’s why you see grafitti in the streets.
Another thing that may identify gangs are colors. Each major gang has a color they wear to identify themselves. For example Crips wear blue and Bloods wear red. If a crip were to wear red he will be penalized which could even be death.
In order to join certain crews you must be “jumped in” which means you must fight the whole crew by yourself to prove your tough enough and are willing to take a beating for the crew. Some people have died being jumped into gangs.
Thank you for reading my blog and thank you for taking the time out of your day. Have a nice day
