The theme explored throughout the multi genre collection is that low self esteem and mental illness' is a serious and dangerous concept which captures the hopes and dreams of others. This is a matter which affects everybody of all ages, shapes and sizes and must be taken seriously and cautiously. The fictional text written touches on the topic of how many have low self esteem towards their body image. On top of that other people will add to that with harmful words, which can lead to self harm or suicide. In the research paper attached to the website, it explores how low self esteem can harm very many people without you knowing they are affected or you are the cause of their mental illness or low self esteem. It indicates the most common mental illness as well as how to seek help and how important it is to reach out to others to seek aid. In the visual text there are different quotes within the picture, they represent how we as a society are the cause of one's mental illness or why they are experiencing low self esteem. The image provided includes a young male student and how he is feeling alone, left-out and negative. Mental illness' and low self esteem are very common in schools today and students are being judged on their appearance, their marks and even how they act in schools. In my personal blog there are examples of famous role models of today's society who are presently affected or were affected by mental illness or low self esteem. Many instances can range from feeling down and having an off day and needing alone time, to attempting to commit suicide or harm the body. We as a society must end the stigma.
