For this blog post, I decided to read Teen Vogue articles. First, I read an article called “How to Fall Asleep”. Teens today are having a hard time falling asleep, and staying asleep. Sleep deprivation effects mental, and physical health and effects academics. Essential oils like lavender help to calm down and become sleepy. As well as not going on electronics before bed. Next I read an article about teen dating violence, and how to stop it. Dating abuse is a pattern of mental, physical, and verbal abuse for someone to gain control. It needs to be stopped. This can happen to anyone, and they need to reach out for help if it is happening to them. I read another article which was talking about red flags and to avoid them. When someone tells you to not share with others your concerns, that can be dangerous. It is basically the person telling you to hide that you are being abused. Stay away from those people. Then, I read an article titled “Learning How to Fail”. Failure is risky, and will not always be appreciated. If we cannot fail we cannot succeed. Failure is okay, and should not be frowned upon. Finally, I read an article on how to get over a situation. The main idea was to block out negativity, and things that remind you of the situation.
- What was your personal reaction to this reading selection? I enjoyed this reading selection. It talked about important topics and interesting topics.
- What do you believe the author’s intent was, and what patterns of organization did you observe? I think the author wanted to help teens, and let them know they aren’t alone. I observed a lot of lists, and cause and effect organizational patterns.
