My project will focus on the stigma behind men\u2019s mental health and the stereotypes that deter men from reaching out for help.\u00a0 The reason I want to research this issue is because throughout this class, I have mainly focused on how sexism affects women because it is something I can relate to, but I want to research men\u2019s mental health and show that it is also very important too and a topic that needs to be talked about more.\u00a0 This issue is commonly ignored due to stereotypes such as men don\u2019t cry, need to ask for help, or show emotions is incredibly harmful and untrue.\u00a0 It creates a more toxic scenario in which the person struggling refuses to ask for help resulting in the problems festering and getting worse.\u00a0 There is a reason why almost two-thirds of all suicides are by men.\u00a0 This is the first time throughout this class that I am looking into this problem so I currently do not have any sources, but I am sure that the Syracuse Library Database has many promising articles, and I plan on looking for informative TEDtalks that go further in depth on men\u2019s mental health because I am sure some exist.\u00a0 Through this research, I want to show people that they are not alone in their struggles and that there is no shame in asking for help.\u00a0 No one deserves to struggle alone.\u00a0 I think my intended audience would be men in their late teens and early twenties who might not have had the courage to ask for help and still believe that there is something wrong with needing help.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
