Our School Taking Action to Battle Poor Mental Health

EMMA CARVER
EDITORIAL EDITOR Amidst the constant downpour of pandemics, divided countries, and canceled extracurriculars, the storms of life can get overwhelming at times. Stress builds up, emotions are held back, and student´s mental health takes the plunge. Help during such an event can be hard to find and the fear of judgement can prevent boys and girls alike from searching for the desperately needed resources. Our school, Corner Canyon High School, realized such a problem and began to set up multiple ways they can access help. We interviewed one of the counselors at our school, Mrs. Sego, about ways students can find guidance through these times. She informed us that counselors have been reaching out through phone, zoom, or in person, to check up on struggling students. They check students' grades or get tips to be able to realize if a student is struggling. |
Counselors and school administration can receive tips through Safe UT, an app created to aid students in finding professional support. There are multiple options on the app which range from being able to talk or text a therapist to submitting an anonymous tip. It is a great resource if students are fearful or anxious to reach out for help.
Additionally, the school psychologist and school social worker have started a program where they try to talk to kids who are struggling. They created a safe space where all can talk about their issues. This starts in December and all are welcome. The image below is the poster with additional information. Administration has also created a canvas page chalk full of resources. Mrs. Sego speaks for all of Corner Canyon High School Administrators when she told us, ¨[Students] have nothing to be ashamed about… they can always come down and talk to us. That's what we´re here for. They can reach out. There´s no judgement.¨ POSTED 11/18/20 |

GREAT ARTS
GRACIE NEWELL GREAT OUTDOORS EDITOR We should take a moment to appreciate the art in the world. Art is beautiful, and so indistinct. There are so many forms of art that are greatly undermined. Whether it be through painting, drawing, fashion, photography, sculpting, performing, or so much more. What is most admirable about it is the expressiveness that seeps through each creation. The brushstrokes on a painting, the setting in a photograph, the movement of a dancer's body, the emotions of an actor, the weld of a ring, the colors and patterns that create an outfit, the curves and lines of a sculpture. Each detail is a way people can show off their love and passion for whatever they do. Art brings us out of a monotone way of life, without it the world would be boring. It is incredibly valued by so many people that it brings people and communities together. It even affects many people’s way of life. Beside that, even if you aren’t artistically talented, you can still recognize when you see a beautiful piece of art. There’s a reason Da Vinci and Picasso are some of the most innovative and brilliant artists, it’s because they brought something new and exciting to the table, they gave the world entertainment. Think about whichever artist you look up to the most. Why do you hold them in such high regard? What is it that draws you to them? Something that all artists have in common is a sense of individuality. Your best work comes when you don’t think of others and what they would want you to do. Sometimes it’s actually hard for people to express themselves through words or to other people face to face. Many people have used their talents to communicate with the world. They have been able to find themselves and share with others their talents. Art is so intriguing, it just had to have it’s own article. It surrounds us every single day, so next time you are out try to look around and acknowledge the beauty art brings to the world. posted 10/25/2020 |

CCHS vs covid: What now?
|
BY EVE CANDELL
FASHION & FOODIES EDITOR In recent months, life for students at Corner Canyon has been anything but normal. Of course, all students have been vastly affected by the virus and the precautions surrounding it, seniors have been handed quite the burden for their final year in high school. Students have a myriad of opinions regarding the recent mandates in place surrounding COVID-19. Some prefer taking an online option so they can work at their own pace, or avoid others and effectively social distance. On the other hand, the vast majority of students prefer getting in-class instruction from teachers and seeing friends everyday at school. After polling a vast majority of students at Corner Canyon, about 53% of students confirmed that they prefer in class instruction, based on their own personal experience and preference. Surprisingly, in second place, 31% of students reported that they much prefer online instruction to in person classes, which is contrary to what appears to be most popular by word of mouth. It was interesting to see how the two stacked up. In last place with the fewest number of votes, a hybrid option was chosen at just 16%. This poll was a mix of personal preference, and what the students believed to be smarter in regards to COVID-19 precautions. I asked some students at CCHS to share with me their personal views on the situation and how it is being handled at Corner Canyon, and how they have felt personally affected by it in their lives. We had a range of responses, some more emotional and some more logical than others. Willow Rosenberg (Corner Canyon Senior) shared her thoughts by saying “Feeling like the nation doesn’t care about human life as much as politics and money and not being able to trust my school to follow through on procedures has been challenging during COVID.” It is obvious that Willow’s feelings of disappointment towards how the pandemic was dealt with by students and faculty at Corner Canyon were shared by many other students, one of being Mason Hughes (Corner Canyon Senior) who shared his view “It has been frustrating to watch the school board bow to political pressure and endanger the lives of students and teachers alike.” Although this may be an extreme opinion, it is still important to hear different views from different students at CCHS to show that there is a wide range of views about how the pandemic is being dealt with, however, the Corner Canyon family is hopeful that things will improve over the course of the next months, and faculty is coming down hard on those who refuse to obey the state and district mandates. However, it is clear that overall students are glad to be back in school, and the vast majority of students are glad to be back in class and are doing everything they can to keep it that way. Wear a mask! Be safe. If Corner Canyon bands together, we can beat this virus and come out successful. POSTED 10/22/20 |

CCHS "MY WHY"
CHECK IT OUT!
BY JADA CLAYTON
HOME PAGE EDITOR
HOME PAGE EDITOR
¨CCHS My Why¨ is a new program that the student body officers have put together to understand and learn more about the students. The primary goal is to amplify the stories, voices and successes of the students. Hopefully this will help bring the students closer together, and it will help these incredible people to feel loved and appreciated. Students will grow to learn and love others by connecting with each other with common interests, and through that find friends. During this frustrating pandemic many may be struggling with online schooling; mentally, and/or socially. So if we give new friendships a jump start many will be able to use that and become closer with their peers.
Corner Canyon High School has two thousand, three hundred seventy-six students, and so because of this there will be multiple highlights posted a week. The stories will be posted to the @cchsmywhy instagram, and soon the school facebook page. Follow along!

HARRY FREAKING STYLES
|
BY JADA CLAYTON
HOME PAGE EDITOR One direction star, Harry Styles, has made quite the career for himself. Being a fabulous solo artist and releasing two albums; 2017’s ‘Harry Styles’ album and the 2019 ‘Fine Line’ Album. Along with his appearance in the film Dunkirk in 2017, he is now expected to be in two more upcoming films. My Policeman will begin production next summer. This film is set in the 1990’s showing the relationship of two men while homosexuality was illegal. Styles’ character being Tom, will film alongside actress, Lily James who plays Marion, a humble schoolteacher. The movie will be based off of the 2012 novel written by Bethan Roberts. This film should be right up Styles’ alley since he advocates for the LGBTQ community. He has said “We’re all a little bit gay, aren’t we?” along with waving gay pride flags at concerts. This man has proven his support for many things but his support to LGTBQ will shine during this film.
Don’t Worry Darling is another movie production expected to involve Harry Styles. He will be replacing Shia LeBeouf due to scheduling conflicts. The movie is directed by Olivia Wilde and co-stars actress Florence Pugh and actor Chris Pine. Styles will take on the role of Pugh’s “Picture Perfect Husband” Jack. The plot is located in California deserts as an isolated and Utopian community in the 1950’s. The movie is considered to be a thriller film and is about a housewife who has a reality switch with disturbing truths discovered. Styles will hopefully “break a leg” and steal the show of this upcoming film. From beginning his career on the X-Factor at 16 years old in 2010, to being in a band, starting a solo career and being an advocate to many while having a large fanbase, there is no doubt that Harry freaking Styles is taking the world by storm.

Netflix documentary-
¨The social dilemma¨
|
BY JADA CLAYTON
HOME PAGE EDITOR ¨The Social Dilemma¨ just dropped on Netflix, it is currently trending fourth in the top ten. This documentary is told from the point of view of large company ex presidents, leaders, developers, creators, and influencers from Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Google, etc, to prove the point that social media has large effects on us. These multimillion dollar companies have no larger goal than to make profit off of the consumer or the user of the app. The companies do not think past the larger picture, so this creates mental instability for people.
The way that these programs work is they put something on your device that interests you then if you interact with it you will receive something similar in the near future. Advertisement is being given, and whether or not you take it is the product. But what is actually being sold in this scheme is the information you give the advertising company, which then sells that to the company they advertised. There's a quote from the documentary production that says ¨If you're not paying for the product, then you are the product¨. For example, if the program is a free program and all you have to do is make an account, chances are pretty good that your information is being sold for advertisement. 
|
The people from these companies talk about how different apps and programs are geared towards different age groups and people. The way that different ages will react to one app or another is different and so they account for the different views and beliefs of many individuals.
One other tricky aspect of this is that when you are being fed one type of information, someone is also being fed information but it may be the complete opposite information than you. This is what causes arguments and large physical impacts on society. People of one cultural belief will do something to spite the other side of the argument. This will become a larger issue if there isn´t change soon, but there is optimism for change. Then the title ¨The Social Dilemma¨ begins to make sense, as a whole, collective society there needs to be a want and desire to not destroy or ruin the companies but to change and better them.
