Dear TeenHealthFX,
I am a teacher looking for sites that can make health a more interesting and relevant subject for teenagers. Can you recommend any sites?

Dear Teaching Health On The Internet,
Health education should be a fun, interactive and interesting topic. It is important to all people, especially teenagers because they need to know how their body works, what's good for them and what's not. The Internet has given health education a great new way to learn about this information in an interesting manner.
The Links page on TeenHealthFX offers a variety of sites on many different topic areas of importance to teenagers and young adults. The links on this page are continuously updated and more sites will become available in the future. These sites, although not directly associated with TeenHealthFX, offer good information. It is imperative that you teach teens that Internet sites are only as good as its writer's and sources. Be wary and look over all sites first, as there is no governing body like the FCC that monitors sites for providing accurate and up-to-date information.

Smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in this country. More than 400,000 Americans die from tobacco-related causes each year, and most of them began using tobacco before the age of 18.
