My theme and theme statement explored a very serious matter which is growing more and more. The stigma and words we as a society put on those with low self esteem and mental illness is unbelievable. Many are aware of the stigma yet do not identify the true cause of the mental illness' people have in our society. The strength of my project is to share how some are affected by this issue, as well as including celebrities who know how to deal with this type of adversity. The celebrities' stories gives the reader an exact example on how to battle back and keep pushing forward.
The different research on the internet helped grasp a new perspective on this issue. It taught myself and will teach the reader how many humans in society may be affected by mental illness' but do not wish to share. Bottom line, treat others with respect as you do not know what they are battling through.
The best piece of writing would have to be the non fiction blog post. With the celebrities i picked as my examples, I have seen different situations they have been in, such as listening to Eminem's music as well as watching him in a TV show or movie. He has battled adversity, there is no doubt about that. But when you look at how successful he is, you would never have guessed he attempted suicide in his teenage years.
