So at the moment, I have an idea of exactly what I want my project to end up looking like. However, it is just going to take a little time to get to that point!
As of right now I actually have some ground work laid out towards completing the project. All of my research is pretty much complete and the hardest thing is going to be creating and designing the website. I am glad that Mr. K is going to be working with us, that way if I have any questions I can go to him. The website will include information for both awareness and support regarding breast cancer. The major point of the website is the peer to peer support group. The peer to peer support will be set up through message boards, where each individual can ask questions to others that generally occur while dealing with the grief and shock of breast cancer in the family. Sometimes it is easier to talk to someone your age than say a professional, friends are often the best therapy. So to make it easier for the teens to talk to someone their age, I plan to have two separate message boards. One will be ages 13-15 and the other will be 16-18. I believe that if you separate the ages they will communicate on a level that is more understandable for everyone. The message boards are only one aspect of the website, I will have sections that are dedicated to general information about breast cancer, cancer research, websites where professionals can be contacted along with cancer foundations to help raise money and support the cause.
Overall things are going together, and I know what I want to do with this project. Ha-ha I guess I am making good progress considering some people do not even know what they want to do yet! Yikes, that's a scary thought. I was worried that things wouldn't fall together, but they have started taking place and I am a little more relaxed now but lets see how long that lasts!
