Hi Kiara,

I agree with Mariana here, I think finding/making connections would make your topic more vivid for people. Personal stories always tend to reach an audience better than facts and figures can.

Hi Kiara,

These topics are such important issues to cover, especially with the current political climate. I’m excited to see where you […]

Hi Emily!

This is a great thing to think about moving forward. “Show, don’t tell” is something that will play a key part in the making of this documentary as it becomes clearer. Thanks so much!

Hi Mariana!

Your topic is, in my humble opinion, definitely something that needs to be explored. I think another word to think about is “Where?” Similar to what Jiya was saying about places to reach out to, I […]

Hey, Susan!

Thank you so much for the inspiring comment. Don’t worry, you’re not too late in the game. It’s never too late to ask big questions. Thanks so much for the resource, I’ll be sure to use it!

Thank you; I’ll make sure to try to keep up the things you find effective!

I obviously don’t know your sexuality but if you’re straight please don’t use the word “queer”. It’s a fantastic umbrella term for the LGBTQ+ community but, unfortunately, it’s a slur so right now my community is […]

I also am curious about how discrimination against queer students is regional. I’m lucky to have queer friends in schools across central and upper Vermont so I’m thinking one of my steps will be exploring through […]

The research I did for my third post informed me of the fact that incorporating queer inclusive curriculum has a quantifiable positive impact on discrimination against queer students by their peers. I therefore […]

Thank you for the resources; I had actually considered looking at the youth risk behavior survey but I had struggled to locate it because I couldn’t recall its name so that link will be very useful to me! I should […]

Hey, James, this is a great post!

I would encourage you to think of the broad impact questions, like “how does this impact the world?” and “what does this say about society?” hopefully these will help you dig a […]

I like that you spoke with people in different age groups and of different genders on your issue since depression really is impacted so much by the social stigmas that come with differences in societal […]

I think your questions are really interesting in the context of the debate over capitalism vs. socialism. I personally believe it is impossible for the United States to provide adequate support to food insecure […]
