ADD, ADHD in adolescence

Please read this before reading the instructions for the paper. This is 30% of my grade and my professor uses a program to make sure we have not plagiarized. This paper MUST BE 100% PLAGIARISM FREE. WE MUST USE A TOTAL OF FOUR DIFFERENT SCHOLARLY ARTICLES AND RESOURCES, AND ONE OF THEM MUST BE OUR BOOK. I will put the reference below for our book so you know which one. We are working out of Chapters 14 and 15. Please cite each reference two times throughout the paper.

For your final project you will be writing a paper in APA format. (See details below.) Your paper should be approximately 4-5 pages or 1200 words.In your paper you will choose from one of the topics listed in Chapter 14: Adolescent Stress and Alienation or Chapter 15: Substance Abuse, Addiction, and Dependency. This will be a two-part paper. In part one, you will choose a topic and describe how it relates to adolescents.
In part two, you will choose a movie or book which portrays this issue through one or more of its characters. Compare the movie/book to your research. How well, does the movie/book compare to what you have learned in research about how these issues affect adolescents? Do you agree or disagree with the way the character’s issue , mental illness, issue, is portrayed when comparing the actual research that you have studied? Explain giving cited research.

*Remember, we already know what the textbook says so you will want to do good research to find additional materials on this topic as it specifically relates to adolescents. Your textbook is fine as one resource but you will need at least 3 others for a total of 4 in addition to the text.
Your paper will analyze the topic presented in the text, Chapter 14. You will need to include and cover these important details about your topic:

In part one you need to cover this items: (Remember to include research and facts for each category).
