Last week, Parkway West had a health fair to provide students about sex, drugs, STD's, parenting, depression, pregnancies , abortion, and healthy habits. Most of the information came from brochures and papers the seniors put together for their senior projects in which they had to do before they graduate.
What i like about the health fair is that, every topic/category had its own table. for example, healthy eating had the first table, which had fruits and little brochures and books about how to take care of your body.
What i didn't like about the health fair is that its was cluttered, no space to breath, i thought they should have had it in an empty room instead of the auditorium.
Some information that i learned from the fair is that many people use drugs for athletic reasons and most of the time its because they are pressured to won from a coach, parents, media, public, financial reward, unrealistic qualifying standards and performance expectations.
I have learned a lot from this health fair and its was really interesting learning about taking care of yourself and the people around you.

Frankford Dirt - Bike Tragedy !
Four - Teen year old Jermaine Alexander grew up with a passion and interest for dirt bikes, but sadly his interest turned deadly. Philly.com said " On March 13, the 14 year old sprinted from Warren G. Harding Middle School to a friend's house to borrow a dirt bike. He and a buddy returned to school past their classmates at dismissal, a show of coolness."
Im really still appalled at the fact that a 14 year old and a 15 year old has a dirty bike.
Philly.com also said Eric Carter, 15, who was riding with Alexander, said cops in a marked police cruiser spotted them at Frankford and Oxford and gave chase. Police say there was no chase."
I dont believe the cops. There are a lot of cops that harass innocent people because they have nothing to do with their lives, and i know this from personal experience . About two years ago, the day of my cousins graduation, my brother got pulled over by a cop on his way to pick my cousin up. My brother was driving a car my uncle rented for my cousins big day. He got pulled over , the cop told him to get out of the car and everything , all unnecessary . They ran the plates, saw it was rented and was about to arrest my brother until he told them to call my uncle and confirm.
These days , you really cant trust anyone , not even the people thats here to protect out society . They worry so much about the smallest things instead of the biggest problem on the streets oh philly. http://articles.philly.com/2012-04-09/news/31313339_1_streets-police-cruiser-boys-split
