For the P3 analytical bibliography I have chose to do my research on depression as a whole and how it affects college students in their everyday lives. I decided to do this because I myself have had major battles with my on depression and I want to bring more rise about it alongside learning more about it. Depression is a major problem in adolescents. It is a hard disorder to fight and beat once one has it. I have been dealing with my own  depression for about 8 years now and it is a struggle to say the least. This project will help me learn more about depression as a whole on top of what in college and our adolescent lives cause depression. Once I have done my research I will propose a plan to students and the administration to help lessen depression causing elements in our daily lives and useful ways to cope and the ability to speak out to get help. In the picture seen to the right I feel this is a very good representation of what depression looks like and feels like. You feel constantly at fight with yourself and like the world and you are bring you down. And no matter how hard you fight and struggle you can’t come out of that pit. The goal of this project in my eyes right now is to better educate myself and the people around my on this serious illness. People in my opinion just over look depressed people as being weak and not about to deal with normal day routines. My goal is to end this and again bring new light to this disorder. Help myself and the many depressed youth around me find new light. To keep pushing forward and to help those about to take their live due to this horrid disorder. To sum it up i am very excited to learn more and to express my research and findings to all of you. I also hope i have moved all of you with this to be there for people and think the best out of them because you never know what is really going with them until you ask and show you care at least a little.
