This article talks about how girls are getting more concussions than boys. “Generally speaking, the medical profession does not do a very good job in recognizing that female athletes sustain concussions at an equal or even higher rate as males,” said Dr. Robert Cantu of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, one of the nation’s leading experts in concussion management. But studies have shown that the symptoms don't usually show and the girl(s) will usually keep playing. Doctors also feel that girls are more likely to report an injury that why they have numbers to back up their theories. We already know girls sports aren't taken serious so when the girls get hurt they are looked over. But girls are just as competive as boys. i feel that the writer is trying to persuade the readers because this topic is very important but highly looked over. Many people should read this because this is some vital information and could open peoples eyes to girl sports and their injuries.

Good work!
I'm not so sure I agree, not withu but the article. When girls are hurt, in my opinion, we tell simply because most of us already have in depth knowledge about the body because of unique body functions.(ie: breast feeding, cycles, etc. I just read it again and it says that the symptoms don't show as easily. Well I withdraw my objection, sorry.
