I will answer this before you get in trouble.
ok you got your pen and paper out? this is important....ok here goes..





Do some RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You found this site....the front page before you get to the forums has an aboundance of information and other websites to go to find out about cf. People here are more than willing to help others out with school papers if they have done some research first. Its not that hard, the internet makes it sooo easy. Just think of a few years ago some of us oldies had to go to libraries and look up books, and we had to use a card system to find a certain book, no computers. Anyway all I am saying is use what you got, its easy to find it. Come back once you find some research and ask us specific questions and we will be more than happy to help. Its been said over and over again here to others wanting help with school papers, we dont want to give you an easy A, because we can talk to you all day about cf.....but if you do the research first ask specific questions we will be more than happy to give you answers.

Please note my tone is not mean or angry., I am just telling you what has been said before... others (cfers) who see this maybe a tad bit angry and frustrated because people come here everyday looking for us to give them easy A's without even trying to do anything for themselves. Like I said if you do some research first and come back and ask good specific questions we will answer you.

Heres the link for those doing school projects. This will give you all the general info you need. If you notice the grid above that has diabetes, respriatory, symptoms, pancrease, etc...if you click on those it shows how CF affects those aspects or causes those problems.

That's kind of a weird question.....everyone can live right up until they die (CF or not!)

he he, purple lungs. That was good. =-)

Whoever's asking, You might wanna use a little more tact when asking about death, especially on the young people topic. I wonder if the administrators might mind deleting that post? For the kiddies, you know.

to the anonymous poster about the Death question, that is a reasonable question if you don't know much about CF and the circumstances surrounding it but you should probably post this in the adults section (if anywere) as it can be very scarry for kids/teens. It can be a very complicated question depending on the circumstances of the individual. If you would prefer, email me some of your questions to division902@hotmail.com and I would be happy to answer them if they are legitimate questions that you can't completely answer by just some general research.

Even though sometimes it is scary to talk about death, everyone will experience it sometime in their life. I worry everyday about how long the life expectancy is. I know I shouldn't, but I do. I'm already 20 years old and I think, have I already lived more than half of my life!? I'm scared to get married or have kids because I don't want to die on them someday! Or pass the disease on the my offspring!<img src="i/expressions/brokenheart.gif" border="0">

Children are an entirely different thing than spouses, though. They can't consent to existence before they actually exist, so you have a lot more thorny ethical issues involved in bringing them into the world, than you do when a grown adult, someone who can make their own decisions, wants to be with you enough to accept that risk. On the upside, for this particular illlness, if you get genetic screening and your partner isn't a carrier, they should be healthy. Personally, taking into consideration how pregnancy burdens your body, I would <i>never</i> recommend any lady with CF have kids, regardless.

<i>Carpe diem</i> if you find love. You won't regret it.

They are bracelets and they're pretty cool. I have some and they're awesome. They're dark blue and say "Breathe". On the back, they say "www.cff.org". They take a long time to be delivered, though.
