The 12th-grade outcome results, which follow high school intervention activities, are still not finished being computed (Perry et al., 2000), but at the end of 11th grade, the intervention students were drinking less. Among baseline (sixth-grade) non-users, however, marginally significant differences were found. This major study presents an ideal opportunity to learn if the drinking behavior of the teenagers involved is positively affected by educational interventions. Ideally, one would want to track behavior well beyond those immediate outcomes, problems, and consequences that are primarily tied to the use of alcohol, to include injury-related behaviors as well.

Reading through Archbishop’s Wilton’s article, “The Church’s Evolving View on the Death Penalty” among other references it will become apparent that a Pro-Life attitude has not always been the view of the Catholic Church. The church’s views on good versus evil, sin, retribution, and how to rule some sort of punishment is strongly rooted in their biblical teachings. In the very beginning of the Holy Bible Genesis, tells people that life is to be seen as precious and should be taken as a gift from the Almighty. Both the Old Testament and the New Christianity agrees that humans were made in the image of God.
6:13 it says “Now the body is not for fornication.” God does not want us to have sexual intercourse with someone that is not our husband or wife.
