Teen faints after skipping meals
TONECHESTER—A teenage girl fainted yesterday at Stonechester High School after skipping meals.
来自斯通彻斯特的报道:昨日,斯通彻斯特高中一名女生多餐未进食后晕厥。
Jennifer Jones, 15, told friends in herclass that she was feeling unwell. She then passed out in her morning PE lesson and was rushed to hospital.
珍妮弗·琼斯,十五岁,曾告诉同班朋友自己感觉不适,后来在上午的体育课上晕厥,随即被紧急送往医院。
Jennifer was found to have dangerously low blood sugar levels and was treated immediately. Her worried parents told the doctor that their daughter missed breakfast that day and hardly touched her dinner the night before. Fortunately, she is now out of danger.

Jennifer’s case is a reminder of the dangers of the unhealthy weight-loss habits that have become common among teenagers of both sexes. In a society where being thin is often seen as being beautiful, teenagers sometimes turn to extreme methods to slim down quickly. According to a recent survey of senior high school students’ lifestyles, almost one fifth of teenagers regularly skip meals, one in ten over-exercise and four per cent even take weight-loss medicine. Health experts are concerned about these figures. They are
