    The article focuses on different studies done to see if there are negative effects of using cannabis. Negative effects in the brain for teens and a long term effect on concentrating and learning new things is discussed. The news is not all bad though, it may even reduce chances of cancer in tobacco smokers.

    America's mental health is becoming an epidemic, yet funding for mental health is at an all time low. States are cutting funding for mental healthcare, in order to save money, yet when they do this they do not understand the repercussions. Many of the mentally ill often end up on the streets, jail or dead. When mental health is not treated we end up with many tragic events such as the 2012 Auroa shooting

It also talks about how much money untreated mental health costs the US

    Here are some pros and cons of our current technology that we use on a daily basis. There also are some solutions or ideas on ways to get the benefits from technology without the negative side effects. The information covers the effect on our adolescence more than our adults.

    This is a topic that has always interested me as electronic devices have become like a second heart to so many teens- they feel that they can't live without it. I think the biggest negative side effect would be the access the devices give them to things that can harm their self esteem. For example, I've seen teen girls scroll through their Instagram feed, saying how they wish they looked like this girl, or her life looks so great, which can harm their feelings of self worth if they are constantly doing this.

    New research conducted by Dr. Dieter Wolke shows the lasting affects of bullying on youth. Researchers found that conflict amongst peers creates stress-related issues such as anxiety and depression. A call to action is asked among communities to find better resources for mental health.

    This kind of article should be spread around to help decrease and get rid of bullies. Many just think that it's only teasing but they don't know that can stay with you forever. This article shows that we do stay with lasting affects when bullied.

    Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!

    In this article the author's argument is how public health and personal freedoms conflict. The author specifically wrote about alcohol as the drug of choice. He describes the public health perspective and restrictions on drugs, then explain the benefits of alcohol and how the restrictions effect one's personal freedom.

    Living near a landfill might as well be like living in one. Although a person is not breathing in the toxins at a rapid rate it is very bad for your health to be constantly inhaling such bad air.

    Big pharma companies have taken advantage of everyday Americans in need of their daily support during the chaotic times we live in. Many of the drugs used each day to help patients fighting Covid-19 have drastically gone up in price since the first case appeared in america. With these prices changes many Americans may not be able to get the proper help needed to get better, and as such may extend the time needed for us to fight off the virus as a whole.

    I personally did not know that this was happening right now, but it unfortunately makes sense because it is in such high demands. I do not think that they should be doing that & its awful that if someone can't pay for these drugs, they have a potential of losing their life, which should not be a problem.
  • dan2195433 on 07 Sep 20
     
    Of course big pharma would do this. By raising prices of these drugs, pharmaceutical companies are effectively making it more difficult for people with other healthcare conditions to afford these drugs. As an example, with the price of Ativan increasing, this may result in people who suffer from panic disorder to have difficulty affording a medication that they have a need for.

    As sad as this is, it's truly not surprising. Our society is so based on how much money someone does or doesn't have and companies will take advantage of it. Especially with the pandemic and the uncertainty of what helps, this is sickening.

    This is extremely sad to hear especially because it seem like they are taking advantage of the pandemic but I also agree that it could because it is in high demand with our current situation.

    This is extremely sad to hear. On one hand it seems like companies are taking advantage with the pandemic but on the other hand because I also agree that with our current situation it could be these products are in very high demand.

    It is crazy to think that companies would prioritize profits over the help of the people. I understand the demand; however, it shouldn't be the only reason for the increase in price.

It focuses more on the negative affects of the pandemic and how it has changed students lives and made schooling more difficult.

    I really enjoyed this article. It's nice to inform people about the reasons why people struggle with finding access to good mental health care. A lot of the world is misinformed as to why people are unable to access help for their mental issues.

    I too enjoyed this article. As I'm aspiring to be a psychiatrist, issues such as these are very important to me, especially considering that I have suffered from mental illness as well. There are indeed many stigmas that surround mental illness, and we as a society are just barely beginning to understand the sensitive nature of these illnesses, as well as how to effectively treat them.

    Thank you for sharing this article! I believe it's important to understand why it's so hard for so many people to get treatment for mental illness. It's not as easy as go to the gym or just don't think about it. It's important to get rid of the stigma and economic barriers that surround mental illness and treatment.

    The pandemic has effected so many lives, especially students. This is one of the most principle periods in their lives and where development can be most important. Throwing the stress of online schooling and removing them from in-person interactions is deeply affecting them in more ways people seem to realize.

  • rya2198591 on 02 Sep 21
     
    This article does well in representing how complicated poverty is. I liked how the authors showed how health care is a cause of poverty, and poor health care is also a sign of poverty. It goes to show the dual nature of many social issues and why solutions are increasingly challenging. The solutions offered by the authors look like they would be effective, but executing them might be difficult. It would be hard because these solutions are very general, and they would cost money as many of them require the government to force the cost of healthcare down.
