  • 15-20 per cent of the general population are procrastinators.
  • Steel has also come up with the E=mc2 of procrastination, a formula he's dubbed Temporal Motivational Theory, which takes into account factors such as the expectancy a person has of succeeding with a given task (E), the value of completing the task (V), the desirability of the task (Utility), its immediacy or availability (Γ) and the person's sensitivity to delay (D). It looks like this and uses the Greek letter Γ (capital gamma): Utility = E x V / ΓD

  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Children born to teenage parents are more likely to lack proper prenatal care
  • also more likely to be born prematurely, have low birth weight, or become hospitalized during their childhood than children born to adults, states the March of Dimes. The same source says that babies of teenage mothers are more likely to die during their first year of life
  • the children of teenage mothers are more likely to drop out of high school, or become unemployed than the children of older women. They experience abuse and neglect quite often, and many of them become parents as teenagers.

      It not only seems less harmful, most teens don't care about the effects of marijuana. So they smoke it more then cigarettes because most of them know whats inside of cigarettes. So in a way, marijuana is better.
