YA Causes/Tough Issues
Moxie Writers will briefly address a YA Cause or Tough Issue facing teens, then offer organizations that aid in the cause, starting with the appropriate letter of the alphabet.
At Rebecca’s blog, she will list a book and characters associated with the issue of the day. This may or may not begin with the designated letter.
Here at my blog, I will share a song with some of the lyrics that pertains to the cause.
I'm familiar with Silverchair, but haven't heard this song. This is a great tie-in with a serious issue.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog theme...and helping people to boot! Well done.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a Ninja Minion checking in. Are you enjoying the challenge?
ReplyDeletethis is still such an important issue to be discussed and researched--even remember in my teen years, being obsessed with what i ate and didn't eat!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing song...I just spent some time looking up lead singer, Daniel John's bio. I guess this song was his way of healing through his own struggles with anorexia- had no idea. I love how songs/music can be a great way to heal, inspire, raise awareness, and even celebrate. Amazing- the power of music.
ReplyDeleteI like the "easy on the eyes" look.
ReplyDeleteEating disorders leech their way into so many facets of life. Beauty is often a trigger. Expectations. The need to please others. The need to meet an unrealistic expectation upon one's self. And yep, guys suffer from eating disorders as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a terrible and generally misunderstood disorder affecting young women.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend in high school died from this disease. Unfortunately, it's just as prevalent today. It's so sad.
ReplyDeleteWonderful theme, Susan. Both informative and educational.
