My first blog

This is my first time doing a blog with this service. I am currently on a work experience placement with Mind, which I will be doing for this current week. I have been to a Mind drop in centre once before and I reallt enjoyed the time spent with everyone.

My name is Leighann (pronounced Leanne dodgy spelling I know blame my mother!) I am 15 and I am largely influenced by music. The majority of music I listen to could be classed as rock/metal but I am very open and will listen to any type of music, the Spice Girls included.

I love body art (tattoos and piercings) it is amazing to see how unique people can look by changing their appearance. I believe it is an art in itself and I'd love to do something like this when I left school on the side as I also love psychology. I find it interesting how the mind works and how people's past expereiences shape the decisions they make in their lives, and why people react to certain situations.

I go to Trentham High School, although I live in Bucknall. I moved to Trentham High about 2 months ago, because of bullying issues and the fact that I did not enjoy going to school at Mitchell High, my previous school. I enjoy my education and want to get the most out of it as possible. I really enjoy art especially as I love drawing. My bedroom walls are covered with drawings I have done, although they are not very good I enjoy drawing all the time. I also love to write fiction, mainly horror and crime stories. Although I never do have time to finish them.

I have a lot of friends who I love dearly and I'd never change any of them for the world. They know exactly how to make me happy when I'm having a bad day and we always enjoy special nights out playing pool or going to see local bands. If I didn't have these people in my life I would not be the person I am now because they have helped me through a lot and I have done the same for them.

Hi Leighann,

Thank for coming to the mind bloggling session yesterday - it was really good to meet you. Music is one thing on here that everyone seems to love and you've got some great bands listed on your blog! Hope you enjoy the rest of your work experience with Mind - they're a good organisation and do a lot of good work for people. Hope to see you again, Em.

Hi Leighann-
A very warm welcome to 'mindbloggling'.
You sound like a very responsible young lady. It is great to read that you have so many interests. Keeping active is a very healthy thing to do.
I am so pleased you have got loads of good friends. Freinds can make all the difference in this sometimes hectic world. Reassurance and encouragement from friends. That is fantastic!
I'm an old dude but I really like Sum 41. Ofcourse them being Canadian and me being from Canada..I'm gonna be a bit bias! lol. Happy blogging Leighann.
Kind regards adanac67.

Hi leighann
I found your blog really interesting I did psychology and criminology at uni but tattoos and body piercings have always interested me. I've often wondered if there is a relationship between mental illness and body art, something i may look into 1 day. I know of and have heard of many people who have indulged in body art while suffering from mental illness and in particular depression. May just be a coincidence but i think it would be interesting to investigate.
Look forward to reading your next blog.
