A Teenage View of What Matters in Health

I chose the topic of Health because I read an article about slept deprivation and how it can lead to colds. This began me thinking about what teenagers feel about health and what's important to us, not all of the extra fluff that the media writes about. I wanted to read and share this because high school kids don't get enough sleep and it gets me mad because it's bad for our health. I think that school's should start later, so that kids can get enough sleep at night. When you don't get as much sleep, your body can't fight infections and produce as many white blood cells to protect yourself from virus's. Teen's as well as the head of the education department need to be aware of how important sleep is. I first went to cnn.com and found an article about how important sleep is. Also another article showed that when you don't get enough sleep your brain actually shuts down.

In this blog I'm going to talk about article's weekly, like this one, to make others aware of the health concerns out there. I want to look at it from what's important for a younger audience because some of the concerns about health are for a much older era, and I don't feel that that's important for my blog.
