Plan a game scene

My game is obviously about self-mutilation but I'm really excited about it because I want to help people help other people or people that are doing it because I think I can make a change. My teacher told me that it might be hard to do but I think that I can take the challenge. I also think that it might be controversial because self harm is a taboo subject but I want to shed some light on it.

Hidden Object for Self-harm

I will choose the hidden object rule number two because it's the best one for my topic of self harm. I am choosing self harm because it is a very touchy topic and I feel like if I give some light on the topic then more people will be aware of self harm and try to help anyone that does it and stop them. Rule number two is find objects that fit a specific category or criteria. So I will make them wear clothes and and you will have to go over them and see the cuts, bruises, burns ect..... and every time you click on it you get points.

That's all I have there will be a part two of the game I just have to figure out the other part.

Malala Yousafzai

Malalah Yusafzay born 1998 is a school student from the town of Mingora in Swat District, NWFP, northwestern Pakistan. She is known for her education and women’s rights activism in the Swat Valley, where the Tehrik-i-Taliban regime had banned girls from attending school in early 2009. During that period, at the age of 11, Yousafzai came to prominence through a blog she wrote for the BBC detailing her life under the Taliban regime, their attempts to take control of the valley, and her views on promoting education for girls. Later that year, the Pakistani military intervened, culminating in the expulsion of the Taliban from the Swat Valley. Yousafzai has since been nominated for several awards, and has won Pakistan's first National Peace Prize. On 9 October 2012, Yousafzai was shot in the head and neck in an assassination attempt by a Taliban gunman while returning home on a school bus.She remains unconscious and in critical condition.
