My current event assignment this week is about the concussions in high school. I found my article on http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/31/health/athletes-concussions/
The title of my article is “High school athletes found more vulnerable to concussions
My article talks about the number of concussion injurys getting higher, and how there a more steps you have to go through in order to return to play sports. Study’s show that concussions in younger kids are higher than in high school students. In addition, it also says that they believe younger students will be more willing to report symptoms, because high school students don’t want to have to sit out and they have a “culture of resistance” It also talks about how this is very dangerous and leads to more dangerous concussions in the future. Our generation is going to have lots of health problems because of this. This event affects me because it involves my generation and all my friends. Most of my friends play sports and would rather play with a concussion than sit out. This affects the world because it is happening to kids all around us.
