2) Connection 2 to Uglies |
- although the book is an extreme, Shay and teens with bipolar disorders all have the same feelings - they are experiencing many negative and positive emotions and do not know how to deal with them -due to lack of education about mental health, and not wanting to speak up or being scared to speak up - ties into why we created our organization because we educate teens in schools, encourage them to speak up, listen to what they have to say |
