Hi, my name is Linda. I am 17 years old and I live in Brooklyn. I like to sing and dance and be in the chat rooms. I am getting into a GED program, but don't know which one yet.
October, 2000

Interesting fact: I have a dog named Jodeci.

My favorite web-site is: http://www.nconnect.net/~chuck/ It's a Home of Taz (Tazmanian Devil) site.

Story Description: My story is on something that happened to me when I was 14 years old. I tried to commit suicide and I landed in a mental institution. I share my story about what it was like and why I did it. I interview my mom, the doctor who counseled me at the time, my friend from the institution, and I talk about how I've changed since then.

Mentor: Subrata De works on investigative news specials for NBC News and helped develop a video diary series for PBS. She also worked in radio (as a reporter) for the CBC in Canada.
