Vaccination Myth:  “Serious diseases like polio have already been eradicated, so there is no need to vaccinate against them.” 

While many diseases have been wiped out for the most part in the United States of America, they have not been eradicated around the world.  That means you could still be at risk if you go abroad or come into contact with an infected person from overseas.  In fact the increase in non-vaccinated immigrants that enter America and the increase in formerly eradicated diseases is not a coincidence. If your kids are not vaccinated, there is a good chance that they could become exposed to some major diseases and suffer like so many people did years ago.

Parents worry about the price college for their children.  College costs have been growing at about three times the rate of inflation and are projected to continue to do so in the future.  There is however a cost saving method that some college students choose to do.  They decide to attend a community college for two years and then transfer to a four-year school.  In Massachusetts for example, all public community college credits transfer over to state universities. They can then get a four-year bachelor’s degree for almost half the cost.  This is a significant savings.

Alcohol, marijuana, and opiates are often drugs that teens turn to in high school.  Some are now choosing to inhale toxic household products they can easily obtain such as computer air dusters, gasoline, butane, Freon, paint thinner, glues, whipped cream, and anything else in an aerosol can.  This is called “huffing”. Some youths first use inhalants when they are around 11 or 12.  For some, it is the first or second drug kids try (even before alcohol or cigarettes).  About 2.6 million children ages 12 to 17 uses an inhalant each year to get high.

Huffing occurs when sprays are put into a plastic bag and inhaled, a rag or sock is soaked in the chemical and then the vapors are inhaled, or vapors are inhaled directly out of the container. The fumes end up cutting off oxygen to the brain, producing a high.  Lack of oxygen and cardiac arrest are the leading causes of sudden death from huffing.

In a 2011 study, 11% of US teens said they had used inhalants in their lifetime.  In Massachusetts 5% of high school students reported using inhalants in the past 30 days.  This method of drug use is a problem because these chemicals are readily available in homes and stores and are not illegal to sell or possess.
