problems? By: Lauren Bucsko When I was going through the letters this week I saw a letter that really popped out at me. He said "there this girl who likes this guy and the guy likes her back but the girl thinks that all he wants is sex, but its not true what should he do to make her believe him?" I would tell the guy to talk to her and reassure her that you don’t just want sex from her. Tell him to show her that he cares. I know that if I thought that all the guy wanted from me was sex then I would want to be reassured that is not all he wants.

Sleep
Deprivation By: Kristen Stump A lot of teenagers suffer from sleep deprivation, I am one of them. Sleep is a major part of what I do. Even here at school many people get in trouble because they cant seem to stay awake. In my research I’ve found exhaustion and fatigue affect the emotional moods, causing pessimism, sadness, stress, and anger. The National Sleep Foundation has suggested that social problems such as road rage may be caused, in part, by a national epidemic of sleepiness. The brains frontal cortex relies on sleep to function effectively. Not enough adversely affects the cortex ability to control speech, access memory, and solve problems. Some causes are stress or excitement can interfere with sleeping patterns, as can some medical conditions and medication. Average sleep we need: 0-24 months: 13-17 hours 2 years old: 9-13 hours 10 years old: 10-11 hours 16-65: 6-9 hours 65-over: 6-8 hours
