OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

Okay, thank you so much

OpenStudy (anthonyym):

You should put this on a google doc so everyone can give suggestions/comments

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

Getting cancer can take decades to get that's why people older than 65 or older get cancer often. It's more common for older adults, to get cancer but you can get cancer at any age. Certain lifestyle choices are known to increase you risk of cancer faster. Things like smoking, drinking (more than you should), frequent sunburns, being obese and having unsafe sex could contribute cancer. A small part of people (a really small part) getting cancer comes from inherited condition. If cancer is common in your family, it's possible that mutations are being passed from generation to the next. And @anthonyym I would love to but my google docs suck

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

This is what I meant to add to the paper @RhondaSommer

OpenStudy (narissa):

What grade are you in? Are you in online school like k12?

OpenStudy (narissa):

Im in k12 9th grade and ive had a research paper looking to yours and i turned it in and got an F. My mistakes where coming up with my own opinion not stating facts. I did not site my work. i did not listen to my teachers instructions. So i had to rewrite my whole paper. I reread her instructions and followed then and got a B. So my advice to you is just ask your teacher for help if you really need it he/she will have no problem in doing so, trust me.

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

Yeah I'm not done with it but thank you

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

It's got to be three pages long and yeah I'm having a hard time siting my work

OpenStudy (narissa):

None of these people really know what your teachers expectations are for the paper. It would save you alot of trouble by just asking her. No problem :)

OpenStudy (narissa):

Yea mine was 3 pages too had to write it in MLA format.

OpenStudy (scarlettfarra2000):

Is it sad that I don't know what MLA format is? I always get in trouble for not doing that but I just don't understand the format

OpenStudy (atrineas):

One moment I'll send MLA formatting

OpenStudy (atrineas):
