Teenage Pregnancy

Most teenagers don't plan to get pregnant, but many do. Teen pregnancies carry extra health risks to the mother and the baby. Often, teenagers don't receive timely prenatal care, and they have a higher risk for pregnancy-related high blood pressure and its complications. Risks for the baby include premature birth and a low birthweight.
If you're a pregnant teenager, you can help yourself and your baby by

• Taking your prenatal vitamins for your health and to prevent some birth defects
• Avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs
• Using a condom, if you are still having sex, to prevent sexually transmitted diseases that could hurt your baby

Scientific Data on Happiness

1. Happiness is not dependent or proportional to income. It’s a recorded fact that 37% of people on Forbes’ list are less happy than the average American. From past studies, it has resulted that happiness only varies with income till a certain threshold is reached (approximately average income and quality of life). Beyond that it doesn’t really make a difference.
2. Social conditions such as civic rights and individual freedom are a prerequisite of happiness but not completely necessary. The more a country has civic liberty and just laws, the more its inhabitants tend to be happy. But a lot of exceptions can be found, at least on an individual level if not on a collective one. There are volumes of stories of people who have found happiness and meaning in life in the midst of terrible hardships and injustice.
3. Dan Gilbert, who has researched happiness extensively, tells how lack of choice sometimes begets happiness. In one experiment, people were asked to choose a painting from a set which they could take home for free. Half of them were given the choice to return it and exchange it for another after a given time if they were not happy with it. The others were not given this choice at all. It turned out that those which were not given any choice were most happy with their original choice unlike those which hadn’t.
4. Happiness is more a question of inner predisposition than external factors. In fact several studies have shown that external factors are only 10% responsible for happiness. Inner predisposition such as attitude, relationships and outlook on life make up 50% of this contribution.

What is Life?

While humans and animals are clearly living, it takes much more detail to decide if things such as viruses and prions are considered "living". While they do move, create new viruses, and sometimes feed off hosts, they also are considered non-living. However, they do have the capability to create future life, and this would label them as living.

After only 2 weeks in class, it is clear that communication can be expressed in so many ways, which we always tend to forget that communication can be conducted in several ways and not only the way that we write our essays but body language and even silence.  cryptograms can show us that not everybody has the same way or skills in communication and conveying message but it is successful as long as we can deliver our thoughts and opinions. we can usually understand the message. I enjoyed the cryptograms.
