Am i a resilient person?

from my opinion i am a resilient person..most of the time :)



i try to not let things knock me down, and when they do i get right back up again. i dont let things get me down because i am always thinking positive and enjoying life. sometimes it take me longer to overcome the experience but i eventually move forward from it. i believe i am 90% a resilient person, that 10% left comes up every now and then and bumps me off my feet for a while. my family and friends normally help me through dramatic things that are happening through my life they help me get back on my feet and keep moving forward.

What to do when its raining in PE

whenever the weather is bad and we have PE it is a major dissapointment. we normally have to sit in a classroom and do activites on our laptops. but sometimes when the Gym or weightsroom is free we go in there and do PE. but unfortunetly when we have sport so does the entire 8th grade, so that leaves us with little options.



another option could be playing table tennis under the shelter in the quad, therefore we are protected from the rain and can still have a good time.

so maybe next time we have P.E and it is raining we should try table tennis :):)

Mental Health

Mental health is a term used to describe either a level of cognitive or emotional well-being or an absence of a mental disorder.

we have been studying mental health in P.D.H.P.E for a while now and i have learnt that mental health is widely ignored, it is a very serious issue that doesnt get reconised.

The World Health Organization defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community".

some disorders are:

- Anxiety

- Bipolar Disorder

- depression

- eating disorders

- schizophrenia



mental health is not accepted in society, there is very little funding when it is very affordable and treatable, it is not regarded as common health when it is.

stigma response

Blog any experience you have had regarding mental illness. How can you play your part in dispelling stigma attached to mental health?



mental health is a very serious illness and many people 'mock' people that may have it, by calling them rude names, for example physco, crazy, weirdo, freak etc.



i have a friend that has mental health and she is on medication for it. she seems to be ashamed of having it because when i first met her she did not tell me she had it, it took awhile for her to open up and tell me her 'secret'. i comforted her about it and told her it was not her fault and that it is just an illness like having the flu, i told her she will get better. i told her it is nothing to be ashamed of and that im here for her every step of the way.



she began to think more positive about what she was going through, and now she is alot better as i and close friends and family have helped her through it.
