The writing assignment should be a minimum of 500 words and include an introduction with an overview of your essay, ending with a thesis statement answering the question “What should be done to address the rising suicide epidemic in teens?” in your own words.
The essay should also include a body with support for your claim.
Be sure to end your essay with a solid conclusion that wraps up and summarizes all of the ideas presented throughout your essay.
Choose any one topic:
1. discuss the way that our neurological chemistry can be affected as a result of living under stressful circumstances, such as a pandemic.
2. discuss the manner in which the pandemic could affect our dreams, our meditative practices, our drug or alcohol consumption and/or our general states of consciousness.
3. discuss how this crisis has an impact on our memory processes.
4. psychological difficulties and their treatment, which would both be excellent topics to address in a paper about a global crisis.
I have attached the rubric for it, please read it.
The document should be in APA format with 2 full pages, Single Spaced.
