CHAPTER 4

QUALITIES
ONE KEY ROLE IN MAKING SURE YOU HAVE A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP IS
HAVING SELF ESTEEM
LOVE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU TRY TO LOVE SOMEONE ELSE
BEING ATTACHED TO SOMEONE TAKES BIG PART IN HOW YOU AND YOUR
PARTNER WORK TOGETHER
GENDER ROLE TAKES PART WHEN YOU ARE SET FROM EARLY ON THAT A MAN
TAKES CARE OF A WOMAN, AND A WOMAN IS THE CARETAKER. MOST PEOPLE
FOLLOW THOSE RULES
TYPES OF LOVE RELATIONSHIPS
FAMILY IS THE BASIC TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU LEARN FROM THE
BEGINNING
FRIENDSHIP IS THE SECOND FORMED RELATIONSHIP YOU MAKE WHILE
GROWING UP THAT GOES THROUGH THE STAGES OF COMPANIONSHIP,
RESPECT, ACCEPTANCE, HELP, TRUST, LOYALTY, MUTUALITY, AND
RECIPORICTY.
SEXUAL/ LOVE RELATIONSHIPS ARE AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE
OTHER PERSON

CHALLENGES
HONESTY IS SOMETHING THAT SEEMS SO BASIC, BUT TENDS TO BE TOUGH
WHILE BEING IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP
NOT BEING READY TO COMMIT WHILE THINKING YOU ARE BECAUSE THE
TIMING IS RIGHT AND YOUVE BEEN PRESSURED.
GOING FROM BEING FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE TO TURNING INTO A DEEPER
RELATIONSHIP CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF KNOWING EACH OTHERS
PAST.
JEALOUSY IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT
BAD FOR YOURSELF, BUT IT CAUSES UNEASINESS AND NEVER TRUSTING
ANYONE
COMMUNICATION
FROM EARLY ON, YOURE TOLD THAT COMMUNICATION IS KEY.
REGARDLESS OF IF YOURE IN JUST A FRIENDSHIP OR A MONOGAMOUS
RELATIONSHIP, COMMUNICATING AND BEING ON THE SAME PAGE WITH
ANOTHER PERSON YOU WORK WITH DAILY CAN BE DIFFICULT SINCE YOU
MIGHT BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE
KNOWING WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON AND HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THINGS, IS
KEY IN BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
CHAPTER 5
MALE AND FEMALE SEXUAL ORGANS
MALE SEXUAL ORGANS CONSIST OF THE PENIS AND THE SCROTUM
THE PENIS IS THE SPONGY TISSUE THAT EXCRETES SPERM DURING SEXUAL
INTERCOURSE
SCROTUM IS THE POUCH THAT HOLD THE TESTES, AND WHERE SPERM IS
HELD
VULVA IS THE TECHNICAL NAME, OR VAGINA, THAT IS COVERED BY FATTY
TISSUE TO PROTECT OVER THE PUBIC BONE
EXPRESSION
SEXUAL EXPRESSION CAN BE THE WAY YOU SHOW YOURSELF OFF
THE MAIN WAY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF SEXUALLY IS THROUGH INTERCOURSE
A COMMERCIAL TYPE OF SEX IS PORNOGRAPHY
PROSTITUTION IS ANOTHER FORM OF EXPRESSION THAT HAS OBVIOUSLY
BEEN MADE ILLEGAL MAINLY FOR THE REASONS OF AIDS AND STDS
SPREADING
STAGES OF FETAL DEVELOPMENT
FIRST TRIMESTER : ALL BODY PARTS ARE ESSENTIALLY FORMED, THE HEART
STARTS BEATING, BY THE END OF IT, FACIAL FEATURES START TO FORM,
ALONG WITH LIMBS
SECOND TRIMESTER : FINGERNAILS AND TOENAILS FORM, FETUS IS
NORMALLY 10-12 INCHES LONG, BABY STARTS TO SUCK ON ITS THUMB
THIRD TRIMESTER : FINAL STAGE OF INFANT PROGRESS, BY 34 WEEKS A CHILD
CAN SURVIVE, BONES FINALLY BEGIN TO HARDEN, HAIR GROWS ON ITS HEAD,
AND EYES OPEN
CHANGES ON A WOMAN DURING
PREGNANCY
THERE ARE BOTH PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL CHANGES DURING A WOMANS
PREGNANCY
PHYSICAL: THE UTERUS GROWS TO HAVE ROOM FOR THE BABY, HARDER TO
BREATHE LATER ON, BACK PAINS, MORNING SICKNESS EARLY ON, BREAST
TENDERNESS, NAUSEA AND SOME BLEEDING.
EMOTIONAL CHANGES OCCUR A LOT BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE HORMONES
RUNNING THROUGH THE BODY. CRYING FROM SADNESS AND 20% OF
PREGNANT WOMEN SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION
CHAPTER 6
CONTRACEPTION WHAT IS IT?
SEX IS A NATURAL PART OF LIFE AS EVERYONE KNOWS, BUT MAKING
SURE THAT YOU DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY IS REALLY IMORTANT. IF YOURE
GOING TO BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU FIND THE
BEST METHOD OF CONTRACEPTION FOR YOU TO PREVENT UNPLANNED
PREGNANCY, AND FROM SPREADING POSSIBLY DEADLY STDS.
FORMS OF CONTRACEPTION
THERE ARE 4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONTRACEPTION:
BARRIER METHODS PHYSICALLY PLACED INSIDE A WOMANS VAGINA TO BLOCK
SPERM FROM GETTING TO THE EGG
HORMONAL METHOD ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES LIKE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS
NATURAL METHOD COITOUS INTERRUPTOUS AND THE LACK OF SEX CALLED
ABSTINENCE
SURGICAL METHODS THESE FEMALE AND MALE SURGERIES LIKE
PERSONAL BEST METHOD
PERSONALLY, I THINK THE BEST METHOD OF BIRTH CONTROL THAT MOST
PEOPLE DONT USE WOULD BE THE IUD. IF YOURE ONLY LOOKING AT
PREVENTING PREGNANCY, IT SEEMS TO BE THE MOST EFFECTIVE SINCE IT
COMPLETELY TAKES AWAY THE CHANCE OF GETTING PREGNANT. THE ONLY
DOWNSIDE WOULD BE THAT IT DOESNT PREVENT SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED
DISEASES. THE ONLY REAL WAY TO PREVENT THAT WOULD BE CONDOMS AND
ABSTINENCE.
ABORTION
ABORTION IS ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS THAT GET
DISCUSSED.
THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF ABORTION; MEDICAL AND SURGICAL.
MEDICAL ABORTION IS A PILL THAT YOU TAKE FURTHER ALONG THAT ISNT AS
INTRUSIVE
SURGICAL ABORTION IS THE MORE POPULAR FORM, THAT GOES THROUGH
YOUR CERVIX AND TERMINATES THE PREGNANCY.
THE CONTROVERSY STANDS AS TERMINATING IS THE FETUS IS DEVELOPED
ENOUGH FOR IT TO BE MURDER.
CHAPTER 13
IMMUNE RESPONSE
PHASE 1 VIRUSES INVADE THE BODY THROUGH A BREAK IN THE SKIN
PHASE 2 HELPER T CELLS TRIGGER THE PRODUCTION OF KILLER T AND B
CELLS
PHASE 3 KILLER T CELL AND NATURAL KILLER CELLS DESTROY INFECTED
BODY CELLS TO FIGHT OFF THE SPREAD OF INFECTION
PHASE 4 WHEN THE TYPES OF CELLS THAT ARE COMPLETELY HARMFUL ARE
GONE, SUPPRESSOR T CELLS STOP THE IMMUNE RESPONSE .
ORGANISMS
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGANISMS ARE THE TYPES THAT CAN BE SPREAD
THROUGH THE BODY WITH DIFFERENT INTENTIONS:
BACTERIA (WHOOPING COUGH, TB, PNEUMONIA)
VIRUSES (HIV/ AIDS, WARTS, RABIES, CHICKEN POX, SHINGLES)
FUNGI (YEAST INFECTIONS, ATHLETES FOOT, RINGWORM)
PROTOZEA (MALARIA)
PARASITIC WORMS (TAPEWORM, HOOKWORM, RINGWORM)
PRIONS
IMMUNE SYSTEM
WAYS TO MAKE SURE YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM STAYS HEALTHY
KEEP A HEALTHY DIET
MAKE SURE YOURE GETTING 6-8 HOURS OF SLEEP EVERY NIGHT
NOT SMOKING
DRINK ALCOHOL MODERATION
SAFE SEX
MAKE SURE YOU ARE EXERCISING FREQUENTLY
WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER USING THE BATHROOM
HPV!!
ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS AND UNTRACEABLE STDS IS HPV (HUMAN
PAPILLOMAVIRUS)
IT IS ALSO SEEN AND RECOGNIZABLE AS GENITAL WARTS
THERE IS NO TEST FOR MEN TO KNOW IF YOU HAVE HPV, MAINLY IF YOURE IN
A MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIP AND YOUR PARTNER FINDS OUT THEY HAVE IT
80% OF SEXUALLY ACTIVE PEOPLE WILL GET IT, AND 70% OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE IT END UP WITH CERVICAL CANCER.
ITS DANGEROUS AND UNTRACEABLE, CAN SHOW NO SYMPTOMS, AND THE
ONLY WAY TO MAINLY PREVENT IS CONDOMS!
