What is "character" and do I need it?
http://www.goodcharacter.com/HStopics.html
It is difficult for teens to quit smoking because of peer pressure, and a lack of FDA approved strategies.  Support groups have been found effective with 14 - 18 yr. olds

There are lots of clubs and community organizations to get involved with
so find something meaningful to do this year!

Check out this website each week for news and volunteer opportunities.
