Lake Mary HS Ramcast

Mercedes and Kassidi introduce Lake Mary's newest club, the Black Student Union.  They describe their hopes for what they would like the club to accomplish and how one might become a member.

Often, you may find yourself in situations where acquaintances, friends, or even family are looking to discuss something that has been heavily on their minds. We may not always know how to handle these discussions, which is 100% normal. However, we may give a form of "advice" or "reassurance" that does more harm than good. In today's episode, task force members focus on breaking the stigma around the constant need to be in a positive mindset, also known as toxic positivity. We discussed what it might sound like and included a strategy to prevent you from giving it to others.

This episode features Lake Mary HS's chapter of Students Against Drunk Driving.  Hosts Cami and Alexa talk about what Lake Mary's chapter of SADD is doing to promote awareness of the dangers of drunk or distracted driving and some strategies for keeping friends and family safe when alcohol is being consumed.

Don't Be a Jerk!

This premier episode of Ramcast features members of Lake Mary's student-based Wellness Task Force.  In this episode, task force members discuss ways to deal with bullying. Their description of the podcast is as follows: 

Bullying is experienced by 1 out of every 5 teens. That’s why the LMHS Student Wellness Task Force is encouraging students to avoid being “a jerk”. We aim to let people know they are not alone when dealing with bullying. In this episode, task force members discuss what a bully is, effective ways of dealing with bullying, and the bystander effect. We encourage students to treat others with kindness and stand up against mistreatment in the appropriate way. 

This group will be publishing a series of podcasts covering ways that students can monitor and manage their mental health and wellness. Their dedicated podcast can be found at the following link: https://anchor.fm/lmhsletsgetreal
