Hey Katy, it's super impressive that you got through everything and can still talk about it, you must have gone through more already than a lot of people have to deal with in their whole life.

2 questions, though don't feel the need to answer if they're too personal: 1. Do you still struggle with any mental health issues following on from your time in and out of hospital? 2. Coming out of hospital and living a "normal" life again, how do you feel compared to other teenagers your own age? E.g. Do you feel more mature? or less experienced in interacting with people? Or do you have a better outlook on life?

Follow up question - do you find that you have enough support in general and specifically during this sort of... "Reintegration" phase of your life?

Ooh, I love web Dev ^ so for me I'd do the following * learn the basics to get your head around how web pages display (html, CSS, JS) and build something small * Learn node (and npm), maybe expressJS and possibly build a little web app + server to understand the full breadth of web apps. * Learn a front end library like react (+redux) OR angularJS OR VueJS and build something with that (possibly using expressJS as well) - these all have awesome tutorials and support * It would be handy to learn a testing framework as well, like mocha / chai. And maybe learn like the Jasmine syntax and a specific framework for whatever front end framework you chose :) * Bonus points for: learning selenium testing. learning some of the libraries for easy JS code like momentJS, JQuery, underscore or lodash. And learning transpired flavours of the basic languages (like less/sass, coffeescript or yaml) :D

Of course if you're more into the visual side of web Dev rather than the code, learn about sass/less and like... D3Js sooner X) Hit me up for any questions
