Fat Letters form School?

Parents of elementary students are getting letters sent home saying their child is too fat.  These letters have been going around in 19 states in the US.  The schools put in the student’s weight and height and measure their body mass index.  Then the school decides if the child is overweight or not.  The problems are that the computer can’t measure fat from muscle.  Students call these letters “fat letters” and make a child very insecure and they begin to think of school as a place where they will only get judged in. As if children don’t already have bullies to worry about, now they have to be cautious around adults.  It’s a bad idea and the children’s parents and the child should be the only ones in charge of their weight.  http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/24/opinion/navarrette-fat-letters/index.html?hpt=he_c2

200 lb. Anorexic

When you think of anorexia almost all people think of a stick thin girl, ribs showing, looking really unhealthy and almost dying but what people don’t think about is that anyone can be anorexic, we just can’t tell because they’ve just started.  Ali Hougnou is 200 pounds and suffering from anorexia.  She tried dieting first but nothing really did it until she went to her grandparent’s house for the whole summer and ate healthy foods, like they did and spent all day outdoors being active- just like her grandparents did.  She lost 15 pounds by the time she came back to school.  She started starving herself and lost 40 pounds.  Pediatricians were proud from the weight loss but were blinded by the great weight loss to see that she was turning anorexic and losing the weight the wrong way.  She is now 22 and a normal weight helping others with eating disorders.  http://www.nbcnews.com/health/200-pound-anorexic-obese-teens-risk-disorder-its-often-unrecognized-4B11216388

Nothing Was The Same

      “Nothing Was the Same” Drake's much anticipated album was leaked on the 15 of September.   It was supposed to come out on September 24^th but leaked out on Twitter 9 days early.  The hype for his album started early when the song by Migos “Versace” came out and Drake’s verse contained “The album is coming September, just wait on it.” His fans were waiting ever since.  The album contains 13 songs, some of which are his famous “Hold on We’re Going Home.”  His style for the album has a very R&B feel for it mixed with rap.  His lyrics make the album live up to the hype Drake set it at, and it is sure to not disappoint. http://hollywoodlife.com/2013/09/16/drake-new-album-leak-nothing-was-the-same-review/

Jennifer or Jen?

Jennifer or Jen? For online daters “Jen” would be a more appropriate choice.  Statistics from an online dating site called Badoo.com show that online daters prefer a nickname over the longer- original name.  The reason for this preference is that a nickname gives the daters a warmer feel to the person with the shorter name.  Tests ran in the US, Canada, the UK, Brazil, France, Spain, Italy and Germany all show the same results. A shorter name simply gives out a friendlier message, rather than a whole- longer name which researchers say would intimidate the dater.  The same results are shown for both genders.

Selling Pregnancy Tests- Used

Women who are expecting decide to make some easy cash to help their baby funds by selling their pregnancy tests, used and positive.   Across the nation women use the network Craigslist to sell their tests for $20-$40.  These tests turned out to be a good seller for the girls out there who want to pull pranks on parents, boyfriends, or friends.  As twisted as it sounds girls even use it for revenge on ex-boyfriends.  Others put them to a good cause and use them to make films for teen pregnancy prevention such as a woman from Los Angeles in her local Boys and Girls Club.  For whatever the use the used tests are selling and the soon-to-be mom are sure profiting.
