QuaranTeen: High School Seniors' Reflections on Mental Health and Identity During the COVID-19 Pandemic

In the 2020-2021 school year, I was enrolled in AP Research and made a creative project with the goal of reflecting on the experiences of high school seniors during the COVID-19 pandemic. I blended narrative research with my passion for the visual arts to write, draw, and ink this graphic novel.

All proceeds will be donated to the Trevor Project, "the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to [...] LGBTQ young people under 25" (as according to their website, which you can access at https://www.thetrevorproject.org/).

This project means a lot to me, and I hope it allows readers to get a glimpse into what I and other students experienced in the past school year, as well as give future generations the opportunity to reflect on this time.
