Teens At The Wheel: A Tribune Update; By Ted Gregory

This article "Teens At The Wheel: A Tribune Update ... Should 16- year- old drive?" brings attention to a serious situation. People question the drivers behind the wheel on our roads. Researchers say that 16-years of age is not the right age to start driving. They think that the less 16-year-old drivers there are, the more lives that would be saved. This question has been going around for about 2-years. Linnea Greci says, "I dont think it matters what age you are." I agree with this comment because it is not only young drivers who are irresponsible. You have elderly drivers who forget how to drive as well. Adults can be just as irresponsible as teenagers can. In this article it has been said that we are losing alot of teens on the road each year. Motor vehicles crashes kill more than 5,000 teenagers every year. Taking 16- year- old off the road are not going to stop car crashes. Veteren driver's education teachers do not think that raising the age of getting a licens is good. Ryan Moore, a 16-year- old of Schaumburg says, "I've driven with some people who are horrible drivers even though they've been driving for a while,.... and I've driven with people who haven't been driving very long but are pretty good. Some people are ready, and some people aren't." This statement says alot because it basically says that it's not just 16- year- olds who are driving badly, it is also other drivers who arent ready.

Attentioon Disorder or Not, Pills To Help In School

This article "Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help in School" starts off by introducing the medicine called Adderall. Aderall is a power medicine that a doctor name Michael Anderson prescibes to his low-income patients that are struggling in school.
The medicine Adderall is a pill. The pill helps children with ADHD. ADHD which stands for attention deflict hyperactivity disorder. Dr.Anderson thinks that this disorder is made up and that it is just an explanation to give it to problem children to improve their focusing in school.
Students who recieve A's and B's are not prescibed to take Adderall. The pill has been a relief to most parents. But experts see the pill as little harm. Why is the Adderall going to children who struggle with their academic, when it is for patients with ADHD? Other experts accailm the treatment, but still worry about the syptoms that might come along, such as phychotic episodes.
ADHD patients have gotten higher and are steady for more than 10 years. Children are depending on the medication to boost their academic. This is bad because it will drag into their adult life. A child name Quitn began taking adderall for almost five years now. When he hit to the age of about 10, he started to imagine things.Quitn was seeing things, people and hearing things and people.
The pill has its positive and negative effects. The children are still developing the medication. experts still do not know how, and if the medication is affecting the brain.

Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now?

Will Climate Change Get Some Respect Now ?
By: Nicholas D. Kristof
In this article, it explains how the climate is changing and nobody wants to talk about it. Hurrican Sandy has now helped that issue and has people talking.
This article is also saying that it does not take one storm to cause climate change, so why has the climate changed?
Scientist are saying that we could have hurricans like Sandy more often due to rising carbon emmisions. People should prepare thereselves for this action.
Hurricans come about from when the ocean is warm. People believe that humans created climate change.
Hurricans arent going to come more often, but when they come they will come stronger. The intensity of these storms are likely to expand in this century.
Flooding will occur more because of the climate change. Climate change adds moisture to the atomosphere.
Democrats have been careless about this issue. Republicans have been even more carless about it.
