Everwood Smehra
Everwood on the WB. Up until then, he was a world-renowned neurosurgeon whose career always overshadowed his obligations as a parent." At this stage, Brown decides to move from New York to Everwood, Colorado so he can raise his pre-teen daughter and teenage son.
Everwood is the family drama on the WB currently screening on Monday nights at 9/8c. The show is in its second season and revolves around a typical family in the Rocky Mountains. While the show seems to primarily cater towards a teenage audience, their scope of topics range from the controversial to the taboo. Last season they covered teenage abortion, teenage suicide, a minister who was suffering from sudden blindness, and teenagers with STDs. The topics may appear to be over-the-top and a little radical for television, but audiences have been very receptive to these topics, of which they obviously have been either exposed to in their

Teen Suicide and Schools The recent spate of school shootings has focused attention on violent behavior among teenagers. However, little attention has been given to another insidious and more common form of violence among young people -- the rise in teenagers committing suicide. This paper looks at the silent epidemic of teen suicide and the role schools could play in addressing this issue. The first part of the paper is an overview
Teen Suicide Suicidal behaviors among teenagers remain a national menace. It has been found from large scale national survey data that about 20.5% teens harbored suicide thoughts within 12 months while about 7.7% attempted suicide at least once within this period (Centers for Disease Control, 1998a), suggesting that a large number of youths stand the risks of being prone to suicide. This is most applicable for young boys. A good example
Teen Suicide Suicide among teenagers is one of the great tragedies of our world today. It affects families, schools, and the community (Bostik and Everall, 2007). Interestingly, many teenagers who go through suicidal feelings overcome them, if not with ease, then at last in time. This could be an important factor in devising prevention and intervention strategies, especially for high-risk cases where the teens in question may not overcome their feelings.
As far as I am concerned, the issue of whether or not a state can legislate marriage based on its own definition of social mores was settled in Loving v. Virginia, when the Supreme Court declared that it was an Equal Protection violation to have anti-miscegenation statutes. Sex is clearly as much of an immutable characteristic as race, and it seems illogical to prevent people from entering into a
Meta-Analysis on Teen Suicide One of the leading treatments for depression are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRI's, however their effectiveness seems to be age related. In a recent study titled "Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and risk of suicide: A systematic review of observational studies," the authors assert that the effectiveness of these drugs is dependent upon the age of the patient. Young patients aged 25 or younger, had an increased
Teen Depression Stress and modern life are far more ingrained in modern culture, often causing a greater preponderance of mental disorders in almost all population dynamics. The teen population is not eliminated as a candidate for a disorder just because they may be young. In fact, mental disorders affect 1 in 5 teenagers. The prevalence of mental disorders in this population should encourage an abundance of treatment programs, but sadly, this
