-Today, about one in three American kids and teens is overweight or obese. The prevalence of obesity in children more than tripled from 1971 to 2011.. With good reason childhood obesity is now the number 1 health concern among parents in the United States, topping drug abuse and smoking.

-Today two-thirds of adults and nearly one-third of children struggle with overweight and obesity

-If obesity rates stay consistent, by 2030, 51 percent of the population will be obese by 2030

-Twenty years ago, no state had an obesity rate above 15 percent. Today there are 41 states with obesity rates over 25 percent, according to the Trust for American's Health

-Since 1980, the rate of obesity in children and adolescents has almost tripled

-72% of older men and 67% of older women are now overweight or obese

- A strange 750,000 arrests were reported last year in 2014, about 375,000 of which being related to other actions such as assault, rape, and theft, while about another half of that or another 25% were false claims by others or not actual true crimes. Any remaining arrests were not officially stated but it probably had something to do with arrests taking place in 1 of the 36 states that currently is illegal to smoke in.

- Smoking weed has a 0% relation to Lung Cancer

- Origin of term "Stoned"

My homeless friend, Larry, was upset as he recounted his recent experience: "The other day I went to a fast food store, bought a coffee and went outside to sit, drink my coffee and have a cigarette. But, they wouldn't let me. 'Move along,' they said, 'You can't stay here.' All I wanted to do was sit and have my coffee and a cigarette. And I had bought their coffee!"

What could I say to Larry? I have heard this before -- presumably-housed people treating a homeless person differently than they would a housed person. For example, when housed people buy items at a fast food restaurant, we expect to be able to sit in the restaurant or on its patio and enjoy our food. It goes without saying. It's what we expect and it's what we get.

What are we talking about here? Fears. Fear of people we don't know. We've been taught since childhood not to talk to strangers. But we're adults now. We can introduce ourselves to anyone and thereby meet a neighbor and potential friend.

Fear of economic loss by having homeless people on the premises is a concern for any business. Everyone needs a home. But, until everyone has a home, we will have homeless people among us. What is a business to do?

I wonder if when a business accepts the patronage of a homeless person, whether that business has any responsibility to the homeless person. My homeless friend, Jimmy, was involved in a situation lately that gave me pause to think about this.

For over 10 years, Jimmy and his wheelchair-bound wife, Ellen, were homeless. When Ellen died nearly six years ago, Jimmy could not contain his grief and drank to try to literally drown his sorrows. Every day, Jimmy would visit his local convenience store and buy his morning paper and breakfast beer. During the day, as his finances would allow, Jimmy made as many trips to buy beer to the same convenience store. Needless to say, Jimmy has been a consistent customer for many years.

But his last trip to his convenience store was different. As Jimmy tells it, when selecting his morning newspaper, he thought he had paid for it and put it in his bag. Jimmy was still in the store when the owner of the convenience store approached Jimmy and told him that because he had tried to steal the newspaper, Jimmy was henceforth barred from shopping in his convenience store.

The day after this incident, Jimmy told me that he felt terrible about being barred from his convenience store.

Please know that I am not condoning theft by any means by any person, housed or unhoused. However, misunderstandings do arise.

So, I offered to speak to the owner of the convenience store on Jimmy's behalf. Jimmy said that he would apologize to the management for the incident.

Unfortunately, the owner of the convenience store was not present when I went there, so I left my phone number with the manager and asked that owner call me so we could discuss the incident. [Note: the owner never called me.]

I shared Jimmy's feelings about the incident with the manager. She was not interested in anything I had to say on Jimmy's behalf. She did tell me repeatedly and with feeling that "they" are always standing outside the store and that "once 'they' steal from us, 'they' can never come back."

I said that there was only one person involved in this incident and it was Jimmy. The manager did not know Jimmy's name, but said that she did know that he had been coming to the store for years. She said that since he had stolen from the convenience store, he was barred from shopping there in the future.

I said that I understood her position, but that Jimmy felt terrible about the incident and would like to come in and apologize to her. She said that she was not interested in his apology.

"Please," I entreated, "Allow Jimmy to come and apologize to you because it would be good for him to do so."

"No, I'm just not interested," she repeated.

This incident is an example of how some businesses regard homeless patrons as different from their housed patrons. I can use myself as an example. Every day for over two years, I have been walking several miles in the morning. On my way home from my exercise route, I always reward myself for my efforts by buying a cup of coffee in my local convenience store.

At my convenience store, the manager often greets me by name when I enter and the sales people are always friendly to me during my stay in their store. I am treated with respect and as an individual. I don't feel like a "they."

Could it be that homeless people, as was the case for Jimmy, are not seen as individuals? I guess I've written this piece in hopes of reminding all of us that homeless people are people, too.

I look forward to your comments. Thank you.

1. Black teens are 21 times more likely to be shot and killed by a police officer.

2. A chicago reporter states "37 of 45 deadly shootings by police ended with a black teen at the other end, 0 were white."

3. Median income among black Americans is roughly half that of white Americans. But a narrow majority of whites believe blacks earn as much money as whites, and just 37% believe that there's a disparity between the two groups. Likewise, while 56% of blacks believe black Americans face significant discrimination, only 16% of whites agree

-most black teenage males get judged by their appearance

-seen as trouble makers

-often accused of doing something no one has proof of.

-In the case of Trayvon Martin he was accused of being a suspicious character walking through a neighborhood with a bag of candy walking back to his dads friends house coming from the conveinence store down the street. Zimmerman the neighborhood  watch on duty at the time saw him walking took him as a threat and on drugs, even though he had no proof shot him dead. This a is a case of white/other races being prejudice against young black people males or females. A young innocent teenager was brutally murdered because society looked at him the wrong way. Its like that saying "never judge a book by its cover."

There are many organizations and TV shows like The Biggest Looser, but to be able to relate to Terrance Knighton's case NFL Play 60 is also trying to make kids more active. NFL's Play 60 is to get local kids to go out and play football or just to go outside and play for an hour a day to help slow the trend of childhood obesity. With the NFL helping to stop childhood obesity they are also helping to build up the image and encourage younger children to do good things, as well as staying fit. With this the NFL is one of the leading fronts against solving obesity, as well as helping young people make good choices. http://www.nflrush.com/play60

PLAGAL is an organization that is trying to promote respect for homosexuals and their communities. They create and attend marches and also are active on online media. I do not think their solution will work because they do not seem to be trying anything new since one of the marches they attend is the same one very year. This organization think about what they can do to reach their goal like making conventions nationwide.

Levi's, a jeans company wanted to make sure their voice was heard in 2009. The owner, Levi Strauss, wanted people to know that he supported homosexual rights so he put a white ribbon on all the jeans to show that. This is a great solution because since it is such a big brand it will likely turn many heads. It will especially turn the heads of those that wear his jeans and are too shy to show that they support homosexuals. This might make them join the movement.

# data[].attributes.body
Organizations:

National Center for Transgender Equality(NCTE)- http://transequality.org

The National Center for Transgender Equality is a national social justice organization devoted to ending discrimination and violence against transgender people through education and advocacy on national issues of importance to transgender people. By empowering transgender people and our allies to educate and influence policymakers and others, NCTE facilitates a strong and clear voice for transgender equality in our nation's capital and around the country.

Over looking what this programs does, their hard work seems to be helpful to the long term problem of transgenders not being treated with respect. Giving education to congress about being fair to transgenders, with time can be the solution to equality.

Trans Advocacy Network (TAN)- http://transadvocacynetwork.org

The Trans Advocacy Network (TAN) is an alliance of transgender organizations that work at the state and local level, coming together to build a stronger trans movement by facilitating the sharing of resources, best practices, and organizing strategies.The ultimate goal of the Trans Advocacy Network (TAN) is a strong, self-sufficient, efficient, effective and sustainable trans movement that works for social, economic and racial justice through leadership development, coalition building and sharing of resources and information.

Their program seems to be a helpful way to spread the word about how transgenders are no different than anybody else. This can help the long term problem, because the word will become big enough that it will get noticed by millions and a change will happen.

(They like to say that “The only difference between tattooed people and non tattooed people is… Tattooed people don’t care if you’re not tattooed” (SPAT). They are trying to get it out there that not just criminals and gangs get tattoos. They post positive pictures about tattoos and talk about other reasons that people get tattoos.)

(They are not very big, and what they say doesn’t have a lot behind it. However, they are trying and that’s what matters even it they only get to one person, that is one person more than before.)

(Different people who speak their mind)-(https://star.txstate.edu/node/1844----http://www.huffingtonpost.com/madison-hamilton/the-professional-prejudic_b_5022697.html)

(People like this write their articles hoping that someone will read it and change their point of view. They let the world know that their prejudice against tattoos is not okay and it needs to change.)

(The only possible long term effect of this is the domino effect. Their article could hit home with ten people, and those ten people could then go tell ten others. It’s this kind of effect that causes a change in the world one small step at a time.)

Teen Mothers

Organizations:

Teen Mom Fresh Start - http://www.teenmomsfreshstart.org

This organization is trying to provide programs based on life skills education and individual support to teen moms, as well as programs to reduce teen pregnancy.

Teen Pregnancy Prevention and Awareness Program

1. Financial Professional discusses the amount of funding it costs to raise a child per year.

2. Through the testimonies of those living as teen parents, they believe it is possible to provide a program for entire families that will help them to cope with and understand the pressures teens experience.

The program seems to be very supportive, however it does not seem to be a program that will solve the main issue of preventing teen pregnancy. If the teen is already pregnant, then the program would be helpful to provide them with advice on how to handle their worries. It even seems that the program encourages teens to become pregnant in a way. This program does not solve the long term problem.

( Colorado Adolescent Maternity Program (CAMP))-(http://obgyn.coloradowomenshealth.com/what-we-do/pediatric-teen-care/teen-pregnancy-programs/-----http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/storyline/wp/2014/08/20/the-best-way-to-help-teen-moms-treating-pregnancy-as-more-than-a-medical-event/)

(Addresses medical, emotional, and social needs of the mothers

“CAMP operates on a model that recognizes what should be obvious to all: The outcome of a pregnancy is not dependent solely upon a mother’s physical health. A mother suffering from depression or post-traumatic stress syndrome or undiagnosed bi-polar disorder is a mother less likely to make her prenatal visits, to take care of herself during pregnancy, to deliver a healthy child” (washington post).

“every CAMP patient sees a doctor, nurse or midwife, a caseworker, a nutritionist and a social worker, and in many cases, a psychologist”(washington post).

Phase two offers parent education classes, social services, along with many other classes to help the mom. They are required to take the classes for at least a year after the child is born.)

(The support given to the teen moms helps touch on all bases of life and helps set the mom on a brighter path towards a future for her and her kid. The care CAMP gives will help moms take care of their kids and themselves for years to come.)

1. Medical Educators

Medical Educators are taking special care to raise awareness among physicians-in-training about what their own implicit attitudes about obesity are. They've discovered physicians who're causing emotional distress to their patients, and claiming that every health problem is caused by weight. Medical Educators and taking a stand to stop the bias. I'm not personally sure of how productive this is actually going to be. 10 years from now it probably will be, but as of right now there are too many doctors who think they know best and believe their opinions to be correct.

2.Wake Forest University

This school has had a mandatory obesity education course for several years.The school's explicit focus is on battling bias against obese patients, and is much less common. I think, similar to the other, this will be helpful down the road when the students attending that university now are doctors. It's going to take a whole new generation of medical minds to end this bias.

IMADR’s primary focus is to combat racism, racial discrimination and multiple discrimination (in particular, discrimination based on both race and gender).

I think this is a very effective organization because it's the one of the only major global organizations that focuses on racial descrimination. http://imadr.org/about/

2. ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union)

ACLU advocates for an end to all forms of profiling and discrimination. They also provide legal support for those who have fallen victim to racial discrimination. I think this organization will work, and is currently being very effective because they actually do something. While many organizations just sit back and say they'll do something, this one is fighting the discrimination, as well as providing support for the individuals affected.

Chapman Partnership operates two Homeless Assistance Centers with 800 beds located in

and families with children annually. We help the homeless by providing a comprehensive

support program that includes emergency housing, meals, health, dental and psychiatric

care, day care, job training, job placement and assistance with securing stable housing.

The average length of stay for single adults is 89 days and families with children 133 days.

I this solution will work the homeless and help them out a lot with the

generosity the organization is willing to give. This will help the homeless

to get back on track and live their life again by what the organization is

willing to do to help. There are links on the website where people can
