health fair

yesterday april 12th philadelphia high school parkway west had a health fair that was created by 12th graders for the whole school. the fair had tables that had different topics at each table. for example at the health fair one table a 12th grade student was giving out panthlets about whats the difference between a std and an sti. did you know that a std stands for a sexually transmitted disease. and a sti stands for a sexually transmitted infection. the table gave alot of information about std awareness. the rapid increase of stds between ages 10 and 18. lets teens know what are stds , and how to prevent and protect yourself from getting them. other tables had a topic about abortion , and how to stop abortion. the table gave out a panthlet about there are other options that abortion. did you know many think abortion is killing a life. the panthlet gives information about adpotion. the panthlet gives information about how to look for the right family for your child to be raised by. and information about giving your child up for adoption is a good thing in the long run since some good people are unable to conceive children their self. then at another table it raises awareness of staying in good shape and staying healthy. at that table Urban nutrition initative Mr.Byran gives out oranges and gives out a magazine on great tips for teens to make a healthier dinner for themseleves. did you know obesity is becoming more popular for teens between the ages of 13 through 19. however at another table they gave out condoms and lubricate just incase the teens want to have sex in the future. other tables gave out information about parents being overprotective parents and how sometimes its not allowing and preparing the child to get ready for the real life without depending on their parents for everything. Joel Austin teaches fathers to be fathers and has classes at west philadelphia Ymca on 52 street every tuesday. one other table was named health start it helps young mothers get help while at the early stages of their pregnancies. they offer an support system , resources , gives information about pregnancy. asks the mothers if they have health insurance so they can find ways to help them and their unborn child or their newborns.
i think this health fair was an opener for other students that are in the same age frame and grade as me. 9 times out of 10 some parents may not think their child is not doing drugs , having sex unprotected, over weight and may face the chances of getting type 2 dietbeats. even though i have been witnessed of my closest friends getting pregnant because they didnt think about use a condom or even thinking about birth control , i have seen my friends get abortion after abortion several times. i have lots of friends that dont think about the cautions of having unprotected sex and either end up with H.I.V or even other life threatning Std's.

Discriminating a person just because they were born the opposite gender than what they believe they are or even as like is completely wrong all together , transgender people have feelings and act like us. we’re all human so we should all be treated the same , no different than the other. http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/sex-change-women-allowed-enter-miss-universe-175900662.html today on April 10th the story about Jenna Talackova had been nationalized maybe not as big as trayvon martin but its big . she made her debut on TV on good morning America , because she wasn't allowed to compete in miss universe pageants she has now changed how the world views transgenders participating in miss universe contest, due to her now transgenders are allowed to participate in the miss universe contest.

                

Man On The Run Has Time To Update His Facebook While on the run

today april 10th 2012, on yahoo.com i read an article about a washington man on the run from police updates his criminal activity on the social media site " Facebook". 26 year old Travis A. Nicolaysen was on the run from police since two nights ago accroding to the article " He was convicted of 5 felonies including domestic violence, burglary and theft of a firearm, police said. He is wanted by the Washington state Department of Corrections for failing to check in with his community corrections officer since January. Nicolaysen had posted on his Facebook account "'got away thanks bro'. furthermore Travis A. Nicolaysen posted to his account: "Cops all over you."family members and friends advised him to keep on the run from police and family members tell Travis to turn himself in so he could set an example for his children. also according to the article Travis was reportedly been accused of assaulting his girlfriend on March 28, police said. Better make that his ex-girlfriend. In a post Saturday, Nicolaysen changed his relationship status to single  due to the altercation. The article also goes on to state that police have already issued a warrant out for Nicolaysen arrest and are watching his Facebook account for any clues to where he may be. The article went on to state “Facebook tells its users that it may share certain information if it gets requests from law enforcement, and that it does have some ability to track people via IP addresses and GPS location. Serving Facebook with a search warrant is a possibility, but there are no immediate plans for that, Smith said. For now, police hope the publicity alone may be enough to flush him out in a city the size of Port Angeles, which has a population of 19,000 and is about 65 miles northwest of Seattle on the Olympic Peninsula."In a smaller community, it's harder to disappear and be anonymous," Smith said. "We're hoping people who know him call police.

I think this man ( Travis ) should have been arrested . especially since his town isn’t that big so the police should be able to find him easily since the family and friends were making comments on his facebook which result in the police watching his account for his trace of his recent movements. Which hasn’t gotten them far, they need to talk to friends and family members and even his ex-girlfriend who accused him of assaulting her.
