The shooter was a teacher in the school named Amy Bishop. With three professors dead, one wounded, and one charged with murder, their biology department has been cut in half. Right now the school is focusing on lamenting their lost, but soon they will start recovering. The teachers lost were very loved by student. They trusted them and could go talk to them about anything. Other teachers were always just happy and made everyone feel happy. College teachers offer to help by filling in for the teachers that are ether dead or wounded. Bishop is now in jail. I chose this article because we hear mostly of students being the ones killing their piers, but in this article we fined out that it was a teacher who committed the murder.You have to alway be careful. ** [] 2/4/10 Topic: Obituary Stephen Howard, a 38 year old man, who was kiet surrfing, was killed near Stuart Beach in southern Florida by sharks.

[] 1/25/10 By: Michelle Trudeau Topic: health Susan Tapert of the University of California, Sandiago resurched how drinking affects teens' brains. She compared the brain scans of those that drank, and those that don't. Tapert discoverd that it negativly affects the ability to understand and inturprit vissual information on bothe boys and girl's brains. Though there is a difference in how drinking affects girl's and boy's brains. For girls, they did poorly on math, and engeneering kineds of tests, while boys did poorly on attention tests. Meaning that they had trouble paying attention to things they thought were boring. Ron Dahl, a pediatrician and brain researcher from the University of Pittsburgh staits that "the teen brain is primed and ready for intese, all-consuming lurning". He says that, "Becomeing passionit about a particular activity, sport, passionate about literature or changing the world or a particular religion..is a normal, predictable part of beeing a teenager,.....but those same tendencies to explore and try new things and try on new identities may also increas the likelyhood on starting on negative pathways." Our brains are still developing. We cause serious damige to ourselves when we partake of drugs and harmful substinces. In my oppinion we shouldn't every drink/ do drugs. Wether we are teens to senior citizens. Why would we distory our potentials? I think that the brain is alway developing no matter what age.
