The first time I saw this image it helped me understand how importance it is to be in school.

What to Say to Students • Showing up every day is a skill that you are developing that will help you do well in class and with getting and keeping a job later on. • School only gets harder when you skip a class. Sometimes it’s tempting to skip or stay home because you are tired or don’t understand what’s going on in class. But missing a day only makes that worse because you aren’t learning something that will help you understand a lesson later on. • If you think missing a day here or there won’t matter, think again. By missing just one day every two weeks, you would be on track to miss two full weeks in a semester or nearly a month of school for the year! • Did you know that a student who misses 10 days or more during a school year is less likely to graduate from high school and or ever enroll in college? • Chronic absence can affect your ability to earn a living. Dropouts are less likely to succeed in a career. In fact, a high school graduate makes, on average, $1 million more than a dropout over a lifetime. • While short- and long-term consequences of absenteeism are most motivating to teens, it’s important to remember that many teens trust their teachers and are motivated by the positive relationship. You can express concern but make sure you are genuine. Teens are quick to spot when adults are just saying the right things and not backing them up with actions. You can say: "When you’re not here, teachers and administrators notice because we care about you and we want you to be successful." • If you’re having trouble getting to school— and have challenges such as transportation, bullies, etc.—tell someone, such as a teacher, guidance counselor or your family. Many schools offer services to help the whole family.

Trends E-cigarettes are very popular with young people. Their use has grown dramatically in the last five years. Today, more high school students use e-cigarettes than regular cigarettes. The use of e-cigarettes is higher among high school students than adults. Here is another message from the Surgeon Generals website

E-cigarette Basics E-cigarettes are devices that heat a liquid into an aerosol that the user inhales. The liquid usually has nicotine and flavoring in it, and other additives. The nicotine in e-cigarettes and regular cigarettes is addictive. E-cigarettes are considered tobacco products because most of them contain nicotine, which comes from tobacco. Besides nicotine, e-cigarettes can contain harmful and potentially harmful ingredients, including:  ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs  flavorants such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to serious lung disease  volatile organic compounds  heavy metals, such as nickel, tin, and lead Here is more information from the Surgeon Generals Website.

E-cigarettes and Youth Don't Mix Adolescent years are times of important brain development. Brain development begins during the growth of the fetus in the womb and continues through childhood and to about age 25. Nicotine exposure during adolescence and young adulthood can cause addiction and harm the developing brain. This comes from the Surgeon Generals Website.
