Great article and I kind of experienced this.

Most college students gain weight "freshman 15" , and they also dont exercise much because they are more focused on their work and is less social. Students who move away from home really suffer with their diet because they are now on their on and not under supervision.

This is an interesting article and I recommend anyone to read this and take it in. I acutally learned something new from it.

The articles I saw posted did not really talk about depression that can come upon a college student. So when I saw this article I skimmed the article and went straight to the comments. I believe that the comments proved to have more information about depression than the article itself.

I chose this article because it explains and tell why most students stress and have bad health.

I think that all college students be be aware of how serious alcohol disorders can affect them. College students should take their health more seriously, especially when it's about alcohol because many bad things can happen. I like how they show you the percentage of alcohol and drugs and how its affected so many college students.

By Donna Leinwand, USA TODAY Nearly half of America's 5.4 million full-time college students abuse drugs or drink alcohol on binges at least once a month, according to a new study that portrays substance and alcohol abuse as an increasingly urgent problem on campuses across the nation.

The term "drug abuse" does not exclude dependency, but is otherwise used in a similar manner in nonmedical contexts. The terms have a huge range of definitions related to taking a psychoactive drug or performance enhancing drug for a non-therapeutic or non-medical effect.

It explain about people stress disorder and it can cause bad health and how sleep can be one of the can help with bad health.

I agree with this because when students go to college they have a lot more things that can cause stress and health issues because of this stress

This is a really helpful article because it shows statistics of how many college students try different drugs.

I agree because it can teach some of the students to be parpared before they start because peer pressure can get them to try new things.

I agree with this because alot of more peer pressure is appearing and rising in college students

This article is about the effect of energy drinks on people. There has been 13 deaths caused by 5-hour energy drinks.

Energy drinks may help at that second, but in the long run somoe of them are more hurtful than helpful.

I find this article interesting because I drank five hour energy drinks everday until 2006.I didnt know that they were deadly.So glad I do not drink them today.

28.7 percent of students surveyed report excessive computer/Internet/TV use and 41.8 percent indicate the activity affected their academic performance.

Once students go to college they tend to get lazy and don't exercise as much as they were before.

Most college students do not eat and exercise properly due to video games,internet, and tv.We live in this lazy fast paced microwave world.

I selected this article because I am interested in exercise and diet. This just verifies what I mostly hear from peolple I talk to at my place of employment which is a athletic club.Once in college and out on their own for the first time diet habits become poor for various reasons.To start eating fast foods which are not as healthy as claimed most due to meals that follow fries and cokes.Eating too much junk food because ite convenient and easy.Most meals that are microwavable are loaded with tons of sodium.Once they get to eat usually its too much at one sitting.Eating too much breakfast or none at all.Also ten percent of college students have more than fifteen alcoholic drinks per week, which are empty calories.On the other hand there are many inexpensive ways to change poor diet.1.Prepare balanced meals.2.Eating 5 or 6 meals per day if possible, which 1 or 2 may include protein shakes.3.Eat apple or orange instead of candy bars etc.Apples or oranges will also give you healthy nutritiuos energy which will keep you attentive in class as well.4.Drink water instead of sodas, one they are cheapier, two they are not filled with sugars and caffiene.5.Drink less or lower calorie and less carb alcoholic drinks.

This is a great article to read for anyone who is using any substance abuse.

I agree with your article because it will show all what is actually wrong with subtance they are using.

This article talks about how college students gain weight, and how you can avoid getting FRESHMAN 15 !

I think that this is true with what is happening to college students. Most dont have the person telling them what they can and cannot do so alot of people go all out and do everything.

This article is very imformational, helpful and also useful.
