Thanks for sharing Such a nice information with us.I really like your Information Which you have provided.
Very interesting, I'm reading NIDA blogs past 2 months. There were more informative posts and i had twitted all the post. so.. thanks to sharing.
Yes, not only Twitting and Texting but we are doing more and more through the use of the Internet such as paying bills, shopping for cars and whatever else. Now tweeting has become so popular that they even provide a way to tweet (just like texting) via your mobile phone. I guess the choice would be whichever one is most convenient.
It is a very good question. Twitter has become an important tool among social media. Both commercial business and non-profit organization will benefit greatly by tweeting. It is quick and easy way of interacting with the customers and creating followers.
Seems like just about everyone "tweets" these days. I still haven't got the swing of it yet. Thanks for the info here though.
I just came across this blog and I really enjoyed what I read. As a fitness and health enthusiast, I am always interested in learning about fitness and am happy to see someone bringing the truth to kids about the dangers of drugs for whatever purpose whether it's an attempt to build muscle or caffeine for "energy." Thank you for making this information available.
By the way, I do tweet. And when it comes to getting information as important as what this is out to the public and younger generation, you have to go where your target audience is...Twitter is definitely one of those places.
Thanks.
hello
maybe thats isn't a right article to write about meow... but i am wondering about it's addiction, how quick you can get addicted, how do you look after several years of using it and i really wanna to read some real stories if there is some... looking forward for your reply.
@kittie Glad you're here to find out more about drugs and addiction. You've come to the right place-the NIDA teen website http://teens.drugabuse.gov/ has "facts on drugs, FAQs answered by our Director, as well as "real stories." So, take a look around and let us know if there are other topics you'd like Sara Bellum to tackle in the future.
thank you. :)

I'm very happy to read this. This is the type of info that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that is at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this greatest doc.

Interesting news. Bodybuilding and steroid usage go hand and hand, what a shame. [commercial link removed, per guidelines]
I think both. People will never stop texting, tweeting and facebooking. In my opinion at least. This a cool site, I gotta say very interesting!
Thanks for sharing it with us!

Hi Sarah,
I love your blog with all the great info for teens on living healthy and addictions. I enjoy reading it and will share it with my patients! I have just recently started 'tweeting' as a physician who focuses on women's health and problems such as sleep, stress, fitness and nutrition and I think it's a great way to connect to the younger generation and give helpful bite-sized tips that they can use right away to get healthier and happier:)
Best Wishes in Health,
Dr. Dani, MD, Family Physician, Holistic Medicine Specialist and Health Coach

I say yes to all questions on the blog, but I am above all an avid tweeter and I spend a lot of time throughout the day texting.
Twitter gives the way to express our thoughts or emotions about any topic publically. So I say yes to it.
You should go through this blog to find out how.
