A few days after I posted the detrimental effect of Michael Jackson and other celebrity deaths, a report comes out.
A surprising number of teenagers — nearly 15 percent — think they're going to die young, leading many to drug use, suicide attempts and other unsafe behavior, new research suggests.
This was reported on Yahoo news from Associated Press. I was working on my memoirs and revealed this same thing I was going through when I was a teenager. I revealed this months ago. The only difference is during my teenage years the celebrities were in the prime. Nowadays they are dying left and right. We have to figure the impact of depressions has to be much greater. If you see people that are positively doing the right things and bringing joy to people die, what type of impact is that on a young depressed person?
There needs to be a deeper level of communication for teenagers of today. The young people are exposed to things that are more graphic than before. A few curse words, telling them they were kings and queens, or they could be doctors and lawyers is not going to connect with them.
In a world were doctors and lawyers are out of work, doctors are being put in the news as killers of very famous people under mysterious circumstances really disgust them. Reports are flying that new graduates that are doctors and lawyers are having a very hard time finding employment. If a lawyer isn't hooked up through a family law firm or people they know their chances are slim for employment. Students graduating with degrees of a doctor have slim chances if they are not a specialist in a certain field of health. With competing doctors from other countries, to be a general practitioner just wont cut it anymore. Students majoring to be a doctor have to be a specialist in the medical field to obtain a good paying job. For example a skin grafter, eye retina specialist and things of a more detailed nature.
Children as well as adults need a deeper insight to things that will astound them. People need to feel like they are apart of something.
Where there is no vision, the people perish.

I think it is starting to affect the youth; Just yesterday my high schooler told me that she may not make it to college. Which I know its not for everyone but she plays basketball and for years she wanted to play college and someday pro. But all of a sudden she thinks school is too hard and losing motivation.
