My High School last year had 24 type I diabetics. 60% of those had a very difficult time coping with the disease until I started group. At first it was just me, and four others. Within a month that grew to 10 members, and shortly thereafter, 19 of the 24 diabetics at my school participated in it. Diabetes is a disease that is caused by the hormone called insulin stops working properly. Many assume that diabetes is genetic, however, more and more people, who have not had a relative diagnosed with the disease, are becoming type I diabetic. The difference between type I and type II diabetes is mainly whether or not you treat it with insulin injections, or pills. There are 1 million new cases a year in America. Majority deign they have the disease, and do not take care of themselves properly. Diabetes if left untreated will destroy kidneys, heart muscle, and the liver, and also cause blindness, and reason to amputate a limb. Wouldn't be beneficial to set up a safe environment where people can talk to each other about their problems? Please help us by starting your own group.

Polaris Project is a leading international organization combating human trafficking and modern-day slavery. Based in the United States and Japan, we bring together community members, survivors, and professionals to fight trafficking and slavery in the spirit of a modern-day Underground Railroad. Polaris Project uses a comprehensive strategy: empowering individual survivors of trafficking while also creating long-term social change.

Human trafficking occurs when persons are induced by force, fraud, or coercion, to work in the commercial sex industry, labor, or services and when minors under the age of 18 engage in commercial sex acts. Human trafficking is modern-day slavery, and it is a widespread and horrifying human rights abuse. Let's come together to end exploitation and support the survivors of human trafficking!
