Good job completing all of the quizzes. I hope you learned something about each one of these topics. All of these topics are very important to each one of us and we should consider many of these because they could effect our future.
ReplyDeleteGood job with this post. It looks like you out a lot of work into this. Keep up the good work. It looks like you found a lot of good information.
ReplyDeleteHey, I listed that first myth on EC also. It's surprising how easily people can confuse abortion with EC pills. Your #5 thing you learned about smoking is how China has 350 million smokers. I can see that because when I was in China, there was really no good air to breathe outside. Almost all the men I walked by smoked.
