Cheri's Work Log
Date- What I did...Was editing an article called gender dysphoria and children. I am going to start my research for my own article, " Adolescents and Gender Identity " tomorrow. The link I will start reading is linked here. https://fenwayhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/Gender-Identity-Development-in-Children-and-Adolescents-Forcible-1.pdf I hope I am doing this correctly. Cheri Shelton 02:07, 4 October 2019 (UTC) IN reading the article regarding Adolescents and Gender Identity, I found it to be a bit disturbing. The realm of gender identity is so vague and so many articles, I am going to focus on,here is a cite from the article that changed my title of interest. Nonconformity Bias & BullyingGender-Identity-Development-in-Children-and-Adolescents-Forcier-1.pdf 20 2015 YRBS LGB students  10% threatened or injured with weapon on school property  34% bullied on school property  28% bullied electronically  23% sexual dating violence in prior year  18% physical dating violence  18% forced to have sex at some point in their lives. This is the first real research article I found that really caught my eye. I will be searching the web over this next week and asking the Butte Libraian for more resources regarding "Nonconformity Bias and Bullying." Cheri Shelton 04:44, 7 October 2019 (UTC) IN my efforts to research more information regarding LGBTQ-Q (Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual,transgender,queer, and questioning), I came across some statistics in the article "Working with transgender children" that I almost fell of my chair .https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19361653.2011.544941 I learned (within the school system(s)), that 39% of children were harassed regarding their gender preferences by school personnel! I also learned that often the safety of the children seems to be ignored. There is a book I came across during my research called "The Survival Guide for Queer or Questioning Teens" written by Huegal (2003) I am eager to read this book. I will most likely use it as part of my references for my article. I am researching videos and other articles because I would like to see this through the eyes of a child. I know I have opened my article as "Adolescence and Gender Identity" however, what my goal was to create and write my own article leaning more towards these gender issues and how these children are treated, protected, etc.. in our school systems today. My final article name is "LGBTQ-Q and Our School Systems."Now I feel I can start writing and editing my article. Cheri Shelton 02:57, 9 October 2019 (UTC) Following up on gender identity regarding our children especially in our school systems, I have found through this category of research that there isn't much adequate resources for adolescents however, there is many resources for college student's. I would definitely like to find a resource or web page with more information that will help me understand why our schools are failing our children of the LGBTQ+. Hello Heather, after researching my resources for my article, I have found there is more resources when it comes to the how schools fail children that are experiencing LGBTQ+.So, once again I am changing the name of my article to. There is much more resources out there regarding the lack of knowledge in our school systems on how to handle this issue and how the school system fail to protect these children. I am going to ask the secretary of my daughters middle school in Gridley this Friday (Nov 1), to see what their school policies or game plan is for protecting these children and if they implement it into their curriculum. Also, are parents aware of this and if so what resources or support does the schools provide for these parents! I am going through this with my 12 year old daughter and it is a huge issue (well not a bad issue) of LGBTQ+ ! So, is this okay if I use that information I get Friday in my article? How would I site that? Cam I leave the secretaries name private? If they have pamphlets, can I take a picture of it and upload it to my sandbox? I know you are busy so if possible, can you get back to me either here or in canvas and let me know! Thank you have a great weekend! Cheri Shelton 20:55, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Heather's Comments
10/2- This is how the Sandbox should start looking. Be sure to watch the video in Introduction to Week 5 if you haven't yet. What did you notice about "Adolescent Gender Identity" page? What could you improve?

Use "Evaluate Wikipedia" to help you figure out what needs to be improved in your article.

10/15- I know you had to copy and paste info in...but I can't really make sense of the big block of text above. Are you going to add the stats you found with citation? That's good...but where? Please copy and paste from the article and make changes in this sandbox and not on the main page (we'll move it over in a few weeks).

Please let me know! Thank you! Cheri Shelton 04:44, 7 October 2019 (UTC) Hi Heather, I am not sure what you mean by a big block!? I did upload a picture to the other sandbox you instructed us to make but I just sent you information in my log progress on what I am finally going to write about and other information. Are we supposed to move the picture to this sandbox or are we to start writing in the other sandbox we just made? I am really confused about the uploads, citing, etc....Any criticism Cheri Shelton 20:58, 26 October 2019 (UTC) is welcomed! Hi Heather, I was trying to write my article however, the wind here in Oroville is gusting up to 55 MPH and the power is going to be shut off or so my alert says. My internet isn't working I am using mobile data from my cell phone. I was going to go up to my daughter's house in magalia but, the power is out in Paradise and Magalia. I will keep trying to connect to my internet and I will have to write my article on paper then add it to be submitted to main-space. I did complete the 9 and 10 training.... but I don't know where it shows (except by the link for training). If you need to email me I have outlook downloaded on my cell and can access email's. My email is Mdavis013@student.butte.edu. I apologize for it and it take a late penalty if I have to. Be safe it is horrible winds out there. BTW, I haven't been able to add anything onto the Gender Dysphoria in Children but will do so when the internet comes back on. Thank you! Cheri Shelton 21:38, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
