This info is good for all of us. Having trouble at home? Angry? Try expressing yourself by writing, painting or composing music. Lets all give three cheers to THE PAINTED BRAIN group. They have the right idea. Here is how they describe themselves:

"We're a collection of visionary artists and writers dedicated to challenging & transforming the discussion on mental illness. We believe in creative advocacy using arts and media. We do this in one way by bringing opportunities not normally available, such as our Academy where people can learn Social Media marketing, web development, and photojournalism.

Mood:  a-ok

Every September when school starts instead of giving a lot of advice I like to say the following (hope it helps):

It's that time of year again - school. Some of you like your studies and some of you don't. Some of you are happy at home and some of you are not. One good thing to do is to keep a journal. Don't write your thoughts on line but in a book with a good old fashioned ball point pen or pencil. Write your thoughts, your ideas, your feelings, your plans, your dreams, your questions, and descriptions. And, then hide your journal. Let it be your private, intimate journal. Let the journal be your hang out for all your feelings. The journal is your private place and only your place. And, if you are having trouble with your school work remember to look up www.khanacademy.org/  these instructors make most subjects easy. Their graphs are terrific.
