This year in health, I learned many things such as, Sexual Health, Eating Plans, Personal Safety and CPR. I learned many useful lessons that will help me in my life. But the six most important things I learned this year in health are: how to perform CPR, the self-defence stance, the different types of STI’s, how to protect yourself from STI’s, how to properly react to bullying, and the correct portion for my age in the Canada’s food guide.
In Sexual Health portion of the year, I learned the different types of STI’s and how to protect yourself from STI’s. I learned that the different types of STI’s are bacterial STI’s, Viral STI’s, and Fungal/Parasitic STI’s. I also learned that there are several ways to protect yourself from STI’s, like a condom or a vaginal spermicide for example. Even though in my opinion, learning about STI’s at this age for me is not important, but in general for teens it is important. In the teen age group, it is usually when people get into relationships and they start to mature. It is important for teens to know about STI’s, as they might be in a situation where they might participate or be pressured to in sexual activity. So if this situation does occur, it is important for teens to understand the consequences and risks associated with STI’s.
For the personal safety portion of the year, I learned two important lessons, how to react to bullying and the self-defence stance. Bullying is a huge issue in the world and it can cause serious problems to especially teens, both physically and emotionally. Many teens suffer from depression
