Help with my thesis on link between obesity and suicide

I ave started working on my topic entitled, 'is there a link between obesity and suicide?' However i am finding it difficult to find any information to work with. Any ideas?

Greetings!

That's an interesting topic, and one that may not have been explored much. Who knows--maybe you'll open a door to new research!

The first place I would look is in academic journals. I would start with the field of psychology, and then bariatrics (I think that is the field that studies obesity, right?). I assume you have access to a university library; they should have a database of academic journals available to you. Do a search on your topics, then decide which articles are most relevant. Asking a librarian for help would probably get you started in the right direction.

You can also look for books on the subject while you're in the library (again, the librarian could help you). I would do a search for "obesity" as a subject. When you find a book, check the index for the topic "suicide."

You can also do a search on the Internet for both your topics. This may lead you to the names of books and magazine or newspaper articles.

Good luck! I hope there is lots of information out there that you can use!

Teen Suicide Essay - how to start?

how do i start a teen suicide essay

Good afternoon.

I suggest begginning the writing process with an outline. Jot down all of the main topics you definately want to discuss. Once you know what you want to talk about, think of and jot down one example or important fact about each of the points. This will be the skepeton of your essay. Once you have the outline complete, you can worry about writing a rough draft, and a conclusion and introduction once that is done.

When you get your rough draft done you can post it here and I can help you edit it and organize the intro and conclusion.

I hope this helps you get started.
