Kurt Cobain was a very talented and emerging rock star. At an early age, his talent was evident and his band, Nirvana, emerged into the main stream music with their lead single "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which proved to be a huge hit. Nirvana became one of the most famous rock bands of its time. Because of Nirvana, and Kurt Cobain's lead singing abilities, a new subgroup of rock was formed. All this fame was not welcome for Kurt Cobain, so he took all the stress and began to drink and do drugs to relieve it. This just made everything worse and worse.
Kurt Cubain, the former lead singer of Nirvana, died at the early age of 27. His life was cut short because of his drastic decision to commit suicide. This suicide was the final result of many years of both acute depression and a bipolar disorder [also known as manic-depression]. Bipolar disorder causes many simptoms including mood swings, which present as rage, euphoria, high energy, irritability, distractibility, overconfidence, and other symptoms. All these made life extermely hard for Kurt. He turned to drugs and alcohol as a means to "soothe" the pain in his life. Another thing that made Kurt at a higher risk of suicide was that suicide had already occured in his faimly, putting him at higher risk.
Although many may not see the severity of both acute depression and bipolar disorders, it is apparent that they can have HUGE side effects on the brain and ability to think rationally. No normal person would ever think that suicide is the right path to take, no matter how hard their lives are. It was also shown that Kurt had these illnesses since the beginning of his life. As a teenager, he had been diagnosed, but nothing was done about it. This just goes to show that it is important to be both aware of the symptoms and aware that there is a means to get passed these illnesses.

This was really awesome!
I would have given it an A. The only bad thing was some of the words and phrases were a bit juvinile. But other than that it was really good
Really great guy to do your blog on! Seems like knowing Adam, rubbed off on you. The blog was really descriptive and I learned things I didn't know before. I give it a 100 because it was everything it was suppose to be. I would of liked to see a better picture though, because I kind of thought it was a crazy picture of a random guy.
Awesome man just awesome. You picked a great person to do your blog on. His life did have a tragic end though. I'd definitely give you an A.
Definitly a good job! The background was good and you connected it all very well. :)
I would give you a 98 :)
good job, 95 from me. there were a couple of spelling errors, but you did a pretty good job. very interesting!
What everyone else said. You went into great depth about his life and his disorder. You included a lot of details and it was very interesting for me to read. Good job! I would give you a 100!
Very interesting that Bipolar Disorder can lead to suicide. And many various other problems. You really researched your informantion well. Alot better then mine thats for sure.
Great job, shadaddy =)! I never knew that Kurt Cobain suffered from bipolar too. Very detailed descriptions and analysis. Try talking about how his disorder may have affected those around him, such as family, friends, or fans.
AP scoring: 8/8 =D
You did a great job explaining the symptoms of bipolar disorder and acute depression as well as how they affected Kurt Cobain's life. The only problems were a few small grammar mistakes ("hard their life is" instead of "hard their lives are"), but they were all very small. I think this article deserves a 95!
That guy is creepy, but good job on the bio. I liked it alot. You had good depth and you really covered all the grounds. I cant wait for your next post!!!
Hey I did my post on the same person! great post
Great job! Your blog was really interesting, and it taught me a lot about Kurt Cobain and bipolar disorder that I never knew before. Well done.
Good job Shaadi. Included alot of background information and nice job on sharing your thoughts. Unfortunate that so many celebrities are faced with depression because of stress. He had a lot of potential but just never got the opportunity to get help.
