Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

 Some girls are violent and female violence has taken on distinct patterns and trends.
 Peer violence. The majority of girls' violence is directed at same-sex peers. Girls fight with peers to gain status, to defend their sexual reputation, and in self-defense against sexual harassment.
 Family violence. Girls fight more frequently at home with parents than do boys, who engage more frequently in violence outside the household. Some incidents represent striking back against what they view as an overly controlling structure. Other girls attack family members as a defense against or an expression of anger stemming from being sexually and or physically abused by members of the household.
 Violence within schools. When girls fight in schools, they may do so as a result of teacher labeling, in self-defense, or out of a general sense of hopelessness.
 Violence within disadvantaged neighborhoods. Girls in disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to perpetrate violence against others because of the increased risk of victimization and parental inability to protect them from community predators, as well as lack of opportunities for success.
 Girls in gangs. Girls associated with primarily male gangs exhibit more violence than those in all-female gangs. Girls in gangs are more violent than other girls but less violent than boys in gangs.
 Student views will vary.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
