Pregnancy Boom
Pregnancy boom is about a raise in the teenage pregnancies in one school district. Seventeen girls in Gloucester High School is pregnant and that is four times higher in previous years. Some people like to blame movies for this and others blame the school. The school began looking into the matter when a large number of girl went to the school clinic to find out if they were pregnant or not. Some of the girls were upset that they were not pregnant and the ones that were pregnant were happy. The school principal was questioning the girls and they confessed to make a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. The school is trying to decide whether or not to make birth control easier to get a hold of or not. The school clinic already started prescribing birth control pills without the parent’s permission to make it easier to get it. The girls would have to travel 20 miles to get it otherwise.
I don’t really think it should be any of the schools business whether the girl made a pact or not. All the school is responsible for is getting the information out there. There is also the hippa law in Illinois(I don’t know about the other states) that any medical provider can’t discuss this issue or give out names of the girls. I don’t believe that there is anything else the school can do. The parents should be the ones responsible for their kids decisions. The school is trying to help the girls that don’t want to get pregnant, but what are/can they do about the girls that want to get pregnant?? They should provide something like letting the girls take care of an infant for a week and they be responsible for everything. That means getting a job, finding child care that they have to pay for, getting up in the middle of the night, and etc. I think its sad that the girls did this, but what can you do now??

Flip Flop Flaws
1. Biomechanics- the study of the mechanics of a living body, especially of the forces exerted by muscles and gravity on the skeletal structure.2. Exacerbate- to make pain, emotion, or situation worse.3. Etiquette-conventional requirements as to social behavior; proprieties of conduct as established in any class or community or for any occasion.Flip Flop FlawsWith the warm weather come people wearing flip flops. The question of whether or not flip flops are bad for your health. Justin Shroyer did a study of 39 college students to find out. He discovered that when people wear flip flops they take shorter steps and that puts more stress on the body. That means that there is a higher risk of muscle and joint pain in the legs. Shroyer also discovered that while wearing flip flops people tend to scrunch their toes. That kind of pressure causes throbbing and tenderness in the toes. Shroyer isn’t the only person that discovered wearing flip flops are a bad idea. The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons had an increase of heel pain during the warm weather with people wearing flip flops. There is a higher risk in overweight people. Flip Flops give no support of the foot or ankles. There is no harm with wearing them from time to time, but wearing them as an everyday shoe is not wise. I didn’t realize that you actually scrunch your toes, until I watched myself and a few other people tonight. I have noticed on myself that my feet do hurt if I don’t rotate from a flip flop to a tennis shoe
