when you are an adolescent. for one thing you don't build your vocabulary. i tell students, what would happen if he went to a luncheon monday in the middle of conversation you tossed out a big word -- what if instead of saying that guy is such a jerk, you said what an obstreperous and for that guy is. well, jobs would drop, people would drop their spoons in their soup. and this is an example of how social pressures, the norms of adolescence will actually hinder your intellectual development. that is why it has always been so important for social life among the young to have a limit. i would have to go home at night and over here walter cronkite talking about vietnam or watergate. i did not want to do that. and i could have checked out i would have. i could have text message all night, i could have found out what was going on at the party last weekend instead of having to be exposed to adult matters, having to listen to my parents talk about the household of money, current events. i did not like them into not want to talk with them, but i did not have another

not support programs that did not comply with state law that protect our nation's children and adolescents. it is as common sense at that. this section emphasizes compliance with federal, state and local laws concerning patient privacy, student records and provisions of comprehensive primary health services in accordance with state and local laws and regulations established standards and community practice. mr. chairman, it's just as important that school-based health clinics comply with state law requiring notification of reporting child abuse, child molestation, sexual abuse, rape and incest. it's absolutely essential. all states have statutes identifying persons who are required to report child molestation -- child maltreatment under specific circumstances. these laws can differ from state to state. but regardless of what is required, school-based health clinics should comply and those that do not should not receive sbhc funding. >> i'm sorry. i didn't hear that last part. >> would you like me to read the whole thing over again? i'd be happy to. >> richard, i -- on page -- on page 369,

it doesn't live and breathe like a flesh-and-blood child does, who evolves throughout adolescence and adulthood to become irrecognizable. i don't believe in using those terms. rather, mr. president, the constitution endures. it endures because the people whom it governs, the people who retain all of the many, many rights that are not listed in the document itself, believe that it continues to apply to them. and the only reason that it continues to apply to them is through guardianship of judges who are modest in reaching their conclusions. they understand that people have to live by the court's interpretation and judgment. they understand that people want justice and that justice means predictability, adherence to text, and the willingness to avoid patently absurd results. i'm looking forward to the confirmation hearing of judge sotomayor. she is a gifted lawyer, a respected seriou and serious ju. her views will only seek to -- lessons taught by a grandfather in georgia, by a study just mother who died the day before her daughter graduated high school, bay single spanish-speaking moth

we founded a number of cases of cancer that adolescence never would have had a checkup and identified at an early stage. mental health problems, etc., and we achieve the kind of coordination, collaboration that they think best serve the individual. now, i am wondering how you feel about those kinds of efforts of achieving more overlapping, more integration of all of those hundreds of the areas of services that you are responsible for? >> well, congressman, i think you make a great point that all too often the same family may have people coming up-- coming at them from 14 or 15 different angles and only four or five hit the mark, as we just talk about enrollments strategies often fail, so i am a huge fan and believer in a sort of systemic approach and a collaborative approach. i can tell you in my brief tenure in this position, i know the president shares those concerns and has implored cabinet members to really come together on strategies, leveraging assets and opportunities in departments. we have had a robust conversations already on childhood obesity, on certainly to look to the fo

commissioner kessler called this a pediatric disease with onset of adolescence and most adult smokers began to smoke before 18 and it makes sense for congress to discourage young people from starting to smoke during these critical years. youth smoking in america has reached an epidemic proportion according to a report by the centers for disease control. smoking rates among high school students soared by nearly a third between 1991 and 1997. among african-americans the rates soared by 80%, more than 36% of high school students smoke by 1991 year high with youth smoking at crisis levels and still increasing we cannot rely on half-way measures. congress must use the strongest legislative tool available to reduce youth smoking as rapidly as we can." well, the senate told the american public that the passage of a massive f.d.a. tobacco regulation back in 1998 contained the strongest legislative tools available to address youth smoking issues. by the way, mr. president, they have decreased since 1998. overall smoking has decreased. i don't want anyone to think that there's no light at the e

so as with tobacco, excess weight really does begin in childhood and adolescence at least for a significant part of the population. about what to do about this, don yet and exercise, if it were everybody would be doing. so i started trying to understand why was this so difficult? why couldn't we get a handle on it? what was going on in this country and that has been the journey the last seven years. so one my time watching the daily rerun of oprah.

attracting and retaining sufficient workforce, specifically, primary care doctors, specialists and some adolescent specialists in particular. what, in your assessment, does the president's initiatives and what does this bill do with respect to attracting and retaining quality workforce in rural areas where that's historically been a problem? >> congressman, i share your concerns about rural access. certainly that's something i worked on as governor of a state like kansas where two-thirds of our population is in very rural areas. i think there's no question that the incentives for enhanced workforce is a step in the right direction. i think that telemedicine, which is on the horizon and certainly, an important component of health itd is a huge step forward. a lot of providers in kansas and i'm sure, ohio, are concerned about their isolation and want to make sure they can access colleagues and consultation. and i think that the steps that are included in this legislation that pay for student loans and encourage additional incentives for primary care and family care doctors alsonhance the workforce i

it would lessen the cost of smoking related medical illnesses, and prevent adolescents and teens from smoking at a young age. in illinois i want to congratulate alexandra slain, an elementary school student from peoria, illinois, who won the tar wars anti-smoking annual poster contest with her drawing of a light bulb shaped as a human head. she wrote the captions, warning america, be bright, don't light. let's start by passing h.r. 1256. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from california. mr. waxman: may i inquire how much time each side has. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california has 9 1/2 minutes remaining. the gentleman from indiana has 10 minutes remaining. mr. waxman: we have no other requests for speakers. i'd like to close the debate. we'll continue to reserve our time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california reserves his time of the the gentleman from indiana is recognized. mr. buyer: thank you, madam speaker. a couple issues i would like to address that i mentioned in my opening. the last two issues

up dropping out of school, there was, of course, discussion during the oral argument about how adolescents are so vulnerable, these, you know, girls at that age in these kind of situations, and it really affected her quite badly. so she felt vindicated, she said, after this ruling. but then the school officials also are off the hook for damages here, and the court in its decision issued a new rule that said basically before school officials are going to do this kind of intrusive search, they've got to have some kind of belief that there's a real danger to students and that these drugs are actually contained in a student's underwear. you know, this all came out during the oral argument that, you know, they were looking for ibuprofen. you know, it wasn't heroin or a handgun. so, you know, the dangerousness justice souter really got at at the oral argument, and that was reflected in his majority opinion for the court. now, ted mentioned that this argument was a little different than the way this decision came down, and it's just, there's just no question. going into that argument, like i said

addiction to tobacco begins almost universally in childhood and adolescence. tobacco companies have long taken advantage of this by promoting their products through cartoon advertisements, themed tobacco themed merchandise, and sponsorships of sports entertainment event. by reinstating the f.d.a.'s 19 96 rule, we'll be able to ban all outdoor advertising within 1,000 feet of schools and play grounds. again common sense. we'll ban free give aways of any nontobacco items with the purchase of tobacco products that appeals to children. we restrict vending machines and self-service displays to adult own facilities and requires the retailers to verify age for all over-the-counter sales and provides for federal enforcement and penalties against retailers who sell to minors. barring the sale of certain tobacco flavored products will protect the health of children who were lured to smoking by these candylike flavors with little if any impact of adult enjoyment on tobacco. the opponents of this legislation often cite the american valu of individual or personal responsib

addiction to tobacco begins almost universally in childhood and adolescence. tobacco companies have long taken advantage of this vulnerability by promoting their products through such tactics as cartoon advertisements, free tobacco themed merchandise that appeals to kids, and sponsorship of sporting and entertainment events. with health care costs spiraling out of control every year, the costs of treating these smokers later in life is fast becoming prohibitively expensive. prohibiting advertising to children will go a long way in preventing young people in america from starting to smoke and will save billions of dollars and most importantly countless lives in the years to come. it is important to emphasize that this bill does not ban tobacco products. rather h.r. 1256 allows the f.d.a. to scientifically evaluate the health benefits and risks posed by ingredients in cigarettes and takes steps to reduce the harm caused by tobacco products. this legislation preserves an adult's choice to smoke and make sure that tobacco products marketed as safe alternatives to

the reason iom report on the prevention of mental health problems in adolescence is a great step in the right direction. i can't say enough about the importance of potential for mental healthcare, so when clifford began his work to reform how mental illnesses were treated he focused on bringing science to the field of health and psychiatry. his ultimate goal was to focus not only on a cure but also on the means to prevent mental illness in the first place so people with mental illness can live full, productive, wonderful lives with proper diagnosis and treatment and is supported network of friends, family and services like those you help provide. so come together we can continue our work towards common sense public policies, those policies combined with compassionate citizen action, and the willingness of those who can speak out about their experiences, can change prevailing attitudes and replace stigma with acceptance and entrance with understanding and fear with hope and opportunity. it has been said that a journey of a thousand miles looks begin with a single step for a 100 years ago

obesity has been accompanied by a rise in the prevalence of type two diabetes among children and adolescents. teaching children about physical education and sports not only teaches them about physical activity in an otherwise seden dare school day, it encourages them to stay healthy. it is important we recognize physical eeducation in our nation's schools as a necessary component of a holistic education. i urge my fellow colleagues to recognize the value of physical education and yulte sports. a 2006 survey by the department of health and human services found that only 3.8% of elementary schools, 7.9% of middle schools, and 2.1% of high schools provide daily physical education or its equivalent for the entire school. 22% of schools do not require students to take any physical education. this exists despite research that shows a positive correlation between physical activity and academic performance. in addition, physical activity provides our children with self-esteem and improves their emotional health. we recognize that our nation shares a collective responsibility in reversing the trend o

horses are like your adolescence children's. cars are like your computer but the computer may be bulky and slow and may even be worth less, but it never addresses itself in all black, gives every part of its keyboard pierced, screams that you don't understand and goes out and takes the drugs and is brought home by the police at 3:00 a.m..
