Some high school students are clearly destined for greatness. You just know that they’ll end up making it big in Hollywood or that they’ll design wonderful buildings or that they’ll make some big scientific discovery. And some high school students don’t bother waiting for graduation; they get started right away. Such is the case with 17-year-old Brenda Tan and 18-year-old Matt Cost of New York. As part of a science project, the two students have uncovered what may turn out to be a new species of cockroach.
After all the warnings that your kid’s running is going to make her knees hurt down the road, here’s a news flash: it may not be so bad after all.
Most kids grow like dandelions. They bloom everywhere, growing up sturdy and strong in the most desolate neighborhoods or the ritziest.
Does your teenager drive like a maniac? Have they already been in a few accidents? Well it might not be their fault, entirely. It could actually be yours. It has nothing to do with your abilities as a driving instructor or even how you yell “Watch out!” every three minutes when they’re driving. It could be far more basic than that; it could be genetic.
Researchers in England have noted that although the number of pregnancies where the fetus has been identified as having Downs Syndrome has increased notably — from 1,075 in 1990 in England and Wales to 1,843 in 2008 — the number of births has stayed virtually constant. In fact, the number of babies born with Downs went from 752 to 743 — a decrease of slightly over 1%. So, what’s up with that? Why more pregnancies, but births remain the same?
