6)The website i visited Being Girl,it features basic teenage girl quizzes such as Am I a romantic at heart? Actions speak louder than words etc.I also visited was Teen Health and a read an article about a girl named Samantha who experienced her first asthma attack at age six but didn't realize it.She thought it was just her being a child because children that age are very active and want to keep up with others.As the years went by her asthma symptoms began to service only this time it got worst,she visited she doctor and was diagnosed with asthma.I'm a person who has asthma and its very important that if you keep up with annual visits to the hospital,especially if your experiencing any of the symptoms of asthma.Such as,Shortness of breath,tightening of the chest,bleariness etc.

Another article i read was about a girl named Erika who while visiting relatives in Puerto Rico had a problem with controlling her urine.When she got back home her parents immediately took her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with diabetes,a disease where the pancreas stops functioning and can no longer produce insulin.She was taught by her physician how to keep diabetes under control by watching the things she eats and engaging in everyday activity and most importantly keeping count of her blood sugar level.
