Inspiration

For youth in general talking about mental health is a weird topic that's generally avoided simply because we don't really know much about it. We weren’t given any education regarding mental health prior to some of the social emotional learning curriculum that started in 6th grade. We want to help make a difference in the way educating youth on mental health as a whole is approached so that students can actually find it helpful. Growing up in the Bay Area, we’ve always thought that suicide is normal, and seem pretty unfazed about the topic. It took a friend passing away in high school to realize how real and it was a slap to reality for us. We were brought up in an extremely academically focused environment, where school matters more than all else, and we’ve seen firsthand that our peers have also grown up like that, which led to some of them not being here with us today. This would be our main goal, We want to help teens like us to make sure they are taking care of their mental health.

Challenges we ran into

technical difficulty - asyncronize fetching the public API response. We try to implement using purely javascript and using jQueries but no luck this time. Instead, we fetch the public API data first and store to local first. Then page fetches the locally stored text file to display in the page.
