In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

My name is Isabella DeMarco and I am in the 12th grade. In my talk I will be discussing the stereotypes of OCD as well as my personal experience with OCD and its link to a neuropsychiatric disease. I hope to speak out to specifically the medical community and society on this topic in an effort to spread awareness about the link between the disorder and the disease so kids don’t have to suffer in silence.

Hi, I'm Hope Davis. I'm 16 and a junior at Lakeside. I love to write and I love to talk. I tend to find issues I care about and throw myself into them and I love talking about reproductive health because we’re not taught enough about it in schools. This issue connects to sexism and the way we view women’s bodies.
