"To This Day Project" 

To this day,
He is a stick of TNT lit from both ends
could describe to you in detail the way the sky bends
in the moments before it’s about to fall
and despite an army of friends
who all call him an inspiration
he remains a conversation piece between people
who can’t understand

My 20% Project

            Hello, my name is Lindsay, and my 20% Project is something that I believe is absolutely not okay, and needs to be put to a stop. Depression is a serious topic that I believe is not covered enough at all.  As days go by, another kid is closer, or already has, self harmed or committed suicide and I can’t take it anymore.  My one wish in life is to put an end to bullying and help people who do have this mental illness.

Action Plan

            I will admit, this will not be an easy task, but I’m up for the challenge. My action plan consist of something that just about every kid uses every day. Internet. I will be making a YouTube channel in hopes I can reach out to more kids and teenagers.

I always hear and see kids saying things such as, “The only reason I’m here is because of my favorite YouTuber.”  Which is awesome, it’s amazing that only one person is keeping anther amazing person alive. This also got the wheels turning in my head. I always thought, “What if I could help amazing people stay alive as well?” One of my life long dreams was to help people with depression and other things as well.

So, my action plan will consist of making a YouTube channel, and talking to a therapist as well
