Moreover, 37.5% of the advertisements offered deals for unlimited tanning sessions and half of the ads offered discounts to high school students, according to a report in the April issue of Archives of Dermatology.

we have a highschool newspaper but we can not advertise anything. especially tanning. my school always preaches about the danger of tanning, but once prom time comes around everybody is tanning. i mean i really don't see the big deal in tanning. if you use the right lotion, spf, protect your face, and check monthly of any new moles, you will be fine. it is the stupid people who don't tan correctly that gives tanning a bad name!
