Tobacco use by teens has gone down in the past decade, but thousands of kids still become addicted to them every year.

NAR: So you think you would be a “cool” parent to host a drug or drinking party for teens? Think about this: #1: How cool would it be if a fight broke out? #2: How cool would it be if there was a date rape? #3: How cool would it be if a partier died from alcohol poisoning? #4: How cool would it be if an angry parent filed a lawsuit against you?

#4: Animating Your Body:

• Use balance and smoooothness
• Keep your feet under you – shoulder width
• Avoid distracting or repetitive nervous

movements or actions

• Movements should reinforce your point –

pointing to a visual for example

I just hit the lottery and won 1 million dollars.
