Tanning is Bad. So wear sunscreen. :)

Reference: http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/23/attitudes-toward-sun-may-change-in-adolescence/

Summary: As adolensence advances, most teens aren't taking care of their skin. This is a big danger because of Melanoma, the most deadly skin cancer and most common form of cancer for people ages 25-29 years old. This is because of ultraviolet radiation exposure. You really should wear suncreen, no matter how good you look with a tan.

Critique: I'd rather be healthy and white than have cancer but be a golden brown color haha. I'm wearing sunscreen next time I go to the beach.

Impact: Teens need to wear suncreen to prevent Melanoma.
