Social Status as a Teen Predicts Health as an Adult on Yahoo! Health

I believe this may hold some truth.

I have no idea where that puts me, theoretically. I got picked on a lot during elementary and middle school but it died down during highschool. However, I was still part of the nerd crowd.

This makes me think back to the few kids in my class who were of a lower status than my friends and I were. One of them supposedly froze his cat.

Well, that was obvious, wasn't it? What did you expect? That's why we all ended up here... we have problems, and that's why we need to improve ourselves.
That study talks about the likelihood, it doesn't say things can't turn out to be different or can't be changed. We sure can improve our lives.

Not a surprise to me at all; I'm studying a lot of public health this year so it's all familiar...but don't say you're royally f*cked; still try to eat well and everything, do as best you can I guess.

I think this means... by the time I'm an adult... I'll have died already.
Actually, I don't have too many self-destructive tendances. I just don't look after myself properly.
