CDC asked teens about guns, sexual violence and self-harm. The new report skipped those answers. The public data didn't. Save and send to a parent: www.celinegounder.com/p/cdc-yrbs-20… Read & subscribe for free: celinegounder.com

Ode to bad drivers Here comes the speeders, You know about the Tweeters, And the vehicular mo-skeeters, Gads, I see muscular gas eaters, Never mind the compulsive leaders, There’s the alpha-gals in high-horse beaters, I’m allergic to truck-driving meat eaters, Avoid these car-to-car meeters!
