Introduction 

I am an 18 year old hisghscholl student who is currently doing an online class for writing(hence the blog). I have a very big interest in all things art, as well as mental health, specifically in teens and young adults, so my age range. I started exploring this topic originally through my own experiences with mental health and unhealthy coping mechanisms, which led me to learn more about healthier ways to manage emotions. Over time, I found that creative outlets like writing and art became important tools for processing what I was feeling.
