Suicide is Prevalent
How to deal with people who can’t stand you? (I ignore them.) How to keep going on when you can’t keep going on? I hear about people ending their lives because I guess they are unhappy, scared, or depressed. It becomes dangerous and destructive. I mainly hear depression is the reason people commit suicide. They commit suicide because they cannot go another day of living on earth. Do they have friends or someone to talk to? We should be more open to friendships and relationships. Human touch, hugs, talking, and knowing you have someone there for you. Human touch builds up the immune system too. It makes people healthy too. I think that is wonderful that friends make us healthier. Friends help us smile and help us live longer.

CONTRIBUTIONS OF GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY
CONTRIBUTIONS OF GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY Gestalt psychology thinks as our minds as a whole and not as elements. Gestalt psychology had started by Max Wertheimer. He came up with the concept of Phi phenomenon where flashing lights if they are continuous look like a straight line of light or an apparent motion. Motion pictures picked this up where movement can happen with light where there is no movement at all. Gestalt Laws of Perceptual Organization…..when the flashing lights keep moving. The gestalt law says that a person’s behavior is not based on a person’s elements but their mind/body as a whole. The great thinkers that loved gestalt law were Max Wertheheimer, Kurt Koffka, and Wofgang Kohler. They believed our minds filled in the missing gaps of information. This is how perception came about. Gestalt psychologist believed that the whole of something is better than parts of something. Gestalt psychologists came up with different laws to help understand perception. These are called the Laws of Perceptual Organization.

Family in Prison
Let me tell you a little story about a girl I know called Sally. Her first experience with the criminal justice system was when she was in fourth grade. She didn't know anything about the law at that age. She didn't know anything about the criminal justice system at that time except watching tv, talking to her friends on the phone, or playing games. She played a lot of solitaire, the card game you play by yourself. She learned that game when she was young along with some other card games that are fun. She loved playing card games if she had someone to play along with her. She was always on the phone talking to her friends too. She loved talking to her friends.

It Will Get Better
Broken Heart By Regina Brooks I did everything I could to keep myself busy. I was missing YOU like crazy. Which led me into making YouTube videos to keep busy. I was going to make that money and it was going to help keep my mind off of you. Shooting videos didn’t work to keep my mind off you. I portrayed makeup as I drank my Cabernet. However, other “tubers” are doing makeup better than me, that was how I felt. It didn't matter, all I wanted was YOU. How do I keep my mind off of an old Bae?
