My name is Taylor Onyinanya "Onyi" and I am currently a sophomore at Prestonwood Christian Academy. For the past few years, I’ve developed a strong desire to learn about the human mind. Being surrounded by a competitive environment academically and athletically, I’ve always wondered how I connected with people who share the same mindset as me, although we grew up in different environments. I’ve felt the pressure to create a certain image of myself, and in doing so I’ve placed an immense amount of pressure and stress upon myself.  I believe that in today’s society, it is imperative to bring awareness about mental health, especially in adolescents. My intention with this blog is to bring knowledge and understanding of the adolescent mind, and create a community where we can  change our perspective.  Propelled to answer the “why” behind how individuals behave, especially teens who are influenced by society and the realm of psychology, I’d like to further explore not just my own viewpoint, but also feature Q&A’s with prominent psychology researchers, discuss new techniques that students can use to better enhance their mental health, alongside tips and insights that helped me throughout my journey.
