So, I have tweaked my topic a bit, since researching has been extremely difficult; usually giving me, literally, no results. I feel like there should be more far more research, articles, and books on LGBT youth and mental health, however, most of what I have found is textbook or how-to for counseling. Suppose it will take a bit more time for research to be done and stats presented to the psychology field since LGBT youth has been become more of an important subject today, compared to previous generations.
However, the lack of info I was able to find, made me tweak my info, which obviously helped me find a 'better' topic for my paper and as a result, will be a lot easier to write my paper. Even if it's not exactly what I wanted to research but, this just means that I can gain further knowledge in this field, and perhaps aid in the topic I actually wanted to research.
How have you been handling the stress of dead ends? I feel like I'm so far from what I should be researching. What kind of stretches are your taking your research to when you dont find what you need? I have had to completely switch up my tactics to get the results i wanted in order to have a full and informative paper. I know it has been especially hard for me since my field of interest is so specific and i see yours is also. I do wish you the very best in finding the information you need and solid info you can use.
