 THEY’RE
IN EVERY SCHOOL — that circle
of popular
teens who get along with everybody.
Cool, huh? Not always. Popular teens show strong family attachments and
a healthy sense of personal identity, but their ability to get along well
with others often makes them susceptible to following their peers into
risky behaviors, according to a team of U.Va. researchers
led by psychology professor Joseph P. Allen (above). Full
story.

 U.Va.
associate professor of drama Kate Burke is
one of the lucky ones. The 21-year cancer
survivor will join others in telling their
stories during this year’s Charlottesville/Albemarle
Relay for Life, an annual American Cancer
Society fundraiser. The marathon performance
by the troupe, Actors Fighting Cancer Celebrate
Life, will feature stories of how cancer
has touched the lives of survivors or their
loved ones. “Time to Tell Our Stories!,” to
be held at Monticello High School, is a compilation
of stories Burke solicited from the community.
Above, Burke uses a wheelchair as a prop
to rehearse for the performance, which starts
at 8 a.m. tomorrow and ends at 8 a.m. Sunday.
