Survey Conclusion

        The majority of the 9 responses I received were from females in 10th grade. I notice that everyone generally responded with the same answers the the questions other than the demographic ones. I could have made my survey more effective by adding more questions that have answers other than yes or no to make the responses more specific to what I was trying to ask.
