... treatment such as counseling or anti-depressants. About five to ten percent of teens at some time in their life suffer from depression, and if not treated properly, depression can lead to suicide in almost fifteen percent of those troubled teens(“The Demon Called Depression,”pg.12). Depression is the typical trigger for most suicide attempts. For example, in the novel Who Killed Christopher? by Irina Korschunow, a boy named Christopher suffered from depression for a while but no one ever figured it out until he roe in front of a car and committed suicide. Many factors can contribute to depression and eventually suicide. The first one would be ...

... market are the topic for this research paper: Index Funds and regular mutual funds. To my horror, these two terms are incredibly vague words and each have many different parts with their own specific characteristics. I will be comparing and contrasting the over shared characteristics of both kinds of stock market investing. Let us begin by explaining what both these terms actually mean. INDEX FUNDS Indexing, in its simplest form, means buying all of the stocks, bonds or other instrument of a market, or asset class, instead of trying to pick winners and losers. Index investors are content with the average performance of a market. When they invest, they buy a ...

... and prepares him for a competitive day in the business world. Should coffee be seen as a performance-enhancing drug? It is the same concept as an athlete taking a performance-enhancing drug. A businessman's coffee will simply amplify his natural skill in the business world, just like an enhancing drug taken by an athlete will amplify his natural skill in his sport. International Olympic Committee officials are concerned that baseball slugger Mark McGwire is sending the wrong message by using the performance-enhancing substance androstenedione. Androstenedione is an adrenal hormone produced naturally in men and women. It is converted in the liver to testosteron ...

... will be decorated with the student’s choice of drawings and homework, only if approved by school codes. I believe that a room like this creates conversation, gives students a sense of freedom, and helps you gain their respect. The way I would like to teach would be like my room, unique. My main emphasis in teaching would be to grasp the student’s interests. If you interest a student in their assignments their knowledge will expand. The material that I will cover will become entertaining. If I can teach the children and they enjoy it this may help them enjoy learning the rest of their lives. I believe the best way to teach a child is to become their friend. ...

... the predictions made in Einstein's theories of relativity. This test seems so amazing and if you think about it more, if we are ever able to travel at the speed of light, hundreds of human years on earth may not mean as much to the travelers who are going the speed of light. This would make travel in space easier for them to reach places that are further away. I also think that space is the next place we as humans have to explore. That we have explored everything that is of great importance here on earth and that the universe around us, can give us a better understanding of what is around us. The problem that we face though is that every thing is so far away from ...

... and reproductive processes and extend, for example, to such related considerations as perception of obligations to the self and others; protection from sexually related disease, explotation, and unjury; and awareness of the maturity required for full expression of sex in love relationships. Supporters of formal consider that sex in mordern society is too complex a phenomenon for instruction to be left to the varying influences of parental attitudes and haphazard environmental exposure. They maintain that is a preventive measure against venereal diseases or pregnancy, and a cultural force for the development of mature psychosexual relationships in the emer ...

... without a guilty religion upon which to wage it. Yet I struggle to find an enemy; we all struggle to find an enemy to rise against and crumble. I want to destroy their cause, their existence. I want to rage. But I am left unaided to commune with my country, the world -- humanity. We weep amidst rubble and smoke, death and fear. We weep at the tragedy; we weep without justice. Do we strike? Bomb Afghanistan, bomb the Taliban, bomb countries that may have transgressed against us? There is our war! Do we not have the greatest power in the world? Our might is legendary. Our power, beyond challenge. Why should we entertain repose, even for a moment? Let us strike f ...

... when you are on the road. First be courteous. Think of why you might say or do to the other driver if you were face to face with him in like the grocery store or something. It is a lot easier for us to get angry at someone when we are in a car, but if we were right in front of the person we would think twice. We wouldn't just give the person the middle finger or curse at them if we were face to face with them, so why would we do so if we are in a car? Second of all you want to use your change lanes signal whenever you are about to do so. That could trigger most people if they get cut off, you want to give the person or persons in the other lanes as much time ...

... is always on. Decarte used his beliefs to prove his own theories. He cheated his own system. Another thing Hume did was throw the Law of Mediocrity out the window. He is saying, basically, that everyday life can change tomorrow. The sun may not come up in the morning, a pool ball, being hit by another, may not move. I still believe the sun will come up tomorrow, but I see what Hume is trying to get at. Everything that is thought to be definite can change. There is no proven facts that say the sun will come up tomorrow, we just assume it will. In Hume's writing, assumption is a dangerous word. Assumption is made up of what you believe and what you don't. ...

... begins. His slimy hands casually slide a video into the VCR as he smiles at you seductively. You can feel his eyes worming their gaze through your clothes every time he looks at you. You feel dirty and violated every time you think about what he does to you when you are alone. He walks over the couch and sits down next to you. You just want to cry, but are scared to move an inch, afraid of how he might react. His hand slithers its way onto your knee and you cringe in revulsion. “Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you,” he chides. Your mind feels panicky as you feel his touch in more intimate places and you scream involuntarily. His gr ...
