Body Piercings for teenagers are very popular today. The most popular ones are the ear lobes and the Navel, but of course there are others that people like to try such as; the Libret,the Nostril,the Nipple, any many more. most teenagers don't research the piercings they want before getting them so some teenagers end up learning the hard way in taking care of the piercings.
What teens don't realize is that piercings can be unhealthy or unsafe at time to get, and that it is a major health risk. It is important to make sure you or a friend never pierced your body it should be left up to a professional to perform the operation. make sure the shop is clean and the needle is well. It is also important to ask questions to make sure the piercing is safe for you to get. Most important ask the person who is performing the task what kind of body jewelry is being use just in case you are allergic to it or not.
If those procedures are not followed it is possible that your piercings can get infected or can receive a disease like chronic infection, uncontrollable or prolonged bleeding, scarring, hepatitis B and C, tetanus, skin allergies to the jewelry that's used abscesses or boils (collections of pus that can form under your skin at the site of the piercing), inflammation or nerve damage. It is very easy to catch those things if its not done or taking care of properly.

Casey Strawn
Attending a college institution for the first year, I found out their are some nice people to be around, and I ran across one really nice individual name Casey Strawn. Casey Strawn was born and raised in McPherson, Kansas. Casey decided to come to Laurel, Maryland to attend school, because she wanted to be far away from home to learn and do more things. Casey enjoy listening to country music, watching all types of movies. Her favorite TV shows are 'Friends' and 'Nip Tuck', and her favorite restaurant is Golden Dragon. Casey like getting to know people the most on Capitol College campus. She also think for Capitol college to improve and be a better place is to get back up generators. Someday Casey would like to meet Jesus, because she think he's awesome. Hanging out with friends and shopping is Casey's favorite hobby. Downtown in Washington D.C where all the monuments and museums are located is Casey's favorite spot. After Casey finish her four years of college she doesn't know what she want to do with her life yet, but she wants to take it slow and see what she's interested in. Someday in Casey's life she would like to visit Italy and Europe.

Jeremiah Madej was born in Baltimore, Md., and later moved to where he grew up in Pasadena, MD. He likes anything dealing with adventures and actions, and in his fee time he likes to work out and exercise. One adventure he would like to undergo in his future is going to Spain. This is after, of coarse, he has become financially able from his Accounting job and opening his own Accounting firm. One day, he would like to sit down and have dinner with Ghandi because he likes learning about people's past. His favorite place in DC is the Smithsonian because he likes history and science.
Jeremiah selected to attend Capitol for Business Management because it was a small school, with more benefits than a big University. If Jeremiah could change anything abou his school,it would be the atheletic oppurtunities Capitol offers. He enjoys the fact that there are not many distractions at Capitol so when he needs to do work, he can complete it with no problem.

Sickle Cell
Hi, I am SuAnne, an undergraduate study student near Washington D.C., where like anywhere else teen health issues are a concern for many. A popular sickness within African Americans is sickle cell.
Sickle cell is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. There are many types of sickle cell diseases’, some are harmful to the body, and will cause one to stay in the hospital, and some are manageable. The most common symptom of anemia is fatigue (feeling tired or weak). Other signs and symptoms include shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, coldness in the hands and feet, pale skin, and chest pain. If you experience any of these body complications, it is best you seek a doctor as soon as possible.
This is a health issue concern to me because, I, myself, am a trait carrier of sickle cell. Having the trait, you have to make sure whoever your partner is you have a baby with, is not a trait carrier too, because your baby could come out a carrier of the disease. Having the disease affects many African Americans and their families because the individual is at a higher risk of this sickness.

Depression
Hi, I am SuAnne, an undergraduate study student near Washington, D.C., where like anywhere else, teen health concerns are a major concern to many. Feeling down from time to time is a normal part of life. If you find that your often in this stage, and nothing can bring light to your day, you be experiencing depression. When one is depressed, they feel hopeless. Sometimes they may even feel like the world is against them.
Teenagers like everyone else, experience problems. I believe the only difference is sometimes teenagers have no one to talk to depending on the situation they are going through. This will cause them to be depressed. Symptoms of depression are sleepless nights, uncontrollable negative thoughts, always irritated, loss of appetite, and things become a challenge that once were easy for you. Common situations teenagers often face that cause depression are pregnancies, receiving a sexually transmitted disease, break-up, rape, and abuse. Although it takes a while to overcome, the first step is to recognize the problem.

Asthma
Hi, I am SuAnne, an undergraduate study student near Washington D.C., where like anywhere else, teen health issues are a concern for many. One major health problem among the world is Asthma.
Asthma is a chronic (long term) lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways. Asthma causes recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing.
Asthma affects people of all ages, but it most often starts in childhood. In the United States, more than 22 million people are known to have asthma. Nearly 9 million of these people are children. Asthma is a concern to me because I witness my mother having asthma attacks often. It is something scary to watch because it’s not much you can do.
Teenagers enjoy participating in sports activities in school. Asthma cannot stop you from being involved, but it can stop you from being as active because you often have to stop and catch your breath if you are doing a lot of moving. The fitter you are, the better your asthma reacts with what you do with your body. This should not be a reason for one to choose not to participate in physically fit activities because they are capable jus like any other person. At the 1996 Olympic Games, at least one in six athletes from the U.S. had a history of asthma, had taken asthma medications or had symptoms that suggested asthma. In fact, the athletes with asthma won just as many team or individual medals as their peers without asthma.
