Interview 1 Prep
The person I am hoping to interview is a lady who has counselor center for teenage girls. I think this would be a really good interviewee because the counselors have seen it all. They have worked with all different ages and have seen all different issues. I think this will be a really good idea because hopefully they have organizations they can send me to.
1. I am interested in going into girls counseling. What can you tell me about it?
2. From your perspective, what could I study that would be more significant to other people?
3. Who else would you recommend me to talk to?
4. I am required to complete 50 hours of service learning related to my topic. What kind of places or activities would you recommend for this requirement?
5. What books should I read in this field? What other resources can you recommend?
What More Do I Plan.
1. What ethnicity of girls would you say come here the most? Why is it that you think they have the most self esteem problems?
2. What do you do with girls who have lows self esteem, for example where do you send them?
3. Do you have an organization you recommend me to?
4. What are the top issues girls come in here for? Body Image, or Face, or anything else.
5. How long does it usually take for girls to start felling confident about themselves?

Topic
My first idea for my project is Sickle Cell Anemia. It hits really close to home as far as having experienced it because I have it. I was diagnosed at seven years old at the City of Hope Hospital. From age one to seven, my family had no idea that I had sickle cell because I am in the only one in my family who has it. My parents always said I was a whiny baby, and that my right arm always hurt when I was younger. They would take me to the hospital, and the doctors couldn't explain why it was I had pain. The doctors thought my father abused me because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. Sickle Cell is not just in African Americans, it is in the Hispanic race also. Caucasian and other races don't show symptoms as much as African Americans or Hispanics but, they do have it. Not a lot of people know about sickle cell and I just want people to be aware that it is a genetic disease, and it is out there.
My second topic is about the way teenage girls pick on them selves. Girls continue to pick on their bodies and their face because of what they see in magazines or on television. Girls do not think they are pretty, or beautiful, and that's sad to see a girl walking around not having confidence in the way she looks. As a teenager, I would look at magazines and say wow I want her body, or man I wish I was as pretty as her. What i didn't know was I am. A different kinda of pretty, but i am. Plain and simple. What some teenage girls don't know is that what they see in the magazines isn't real. The company has picked her apart to make her an look skinner and prettier (taking away pimples, and stretch marks). She has spent four hours in hair and make-up, and she had a professional pick out her clothes. So how can you own up to a computer generated person? You can't. I want girls to do is stop trying to look like the girls in magazines because they can't be them, and are beautiful the way they are. They don't need six gallons of make up to do so.
