Scenario: Cody's friend tags them in a post, saying he wagged class to have sex. Cody deleted it but people have already commented on it.

Long term consequences

Friends' awareness of this happening

Potential argument from the other person who skipped class to have sex

Cody could get in trouble for saying something about this

Still seen by many people

Cody and the friend may lose friends and connections because certain people have seen the post

Twisted rumors about you

In this situation, I would; report the post to a trusted adult such as a parent, teacher or sub school leader and ensure it is known that this information is incorrect.

What is the impact of fixed/strict ideas about masculinity on:

Individuals:

Individually, strict, toxic stereotypes on how men should act means that with the idea that men should always be strong/not show emotion, they suffer in silence and their mental health gets worse. this leads to their new view on men also and makes the issue of stereotypes worse, teaching their children and pushing their views (and hidden bad mental health) onto others.

Society:

On a wider scale, the masculine traits that society pushes onto men leads to a wide-spread group of men who are toxic and keep pushing their developed views of how they should acct onto others meaning that their next generation of children are like this also, and therefore make a cycle of toxic masculinity caused by society. they also will bounce off of each other, making their opinions stronger and leading to division amongst their community

What messages could young people receive from viewing pornography?

An unrealistic understanding of why/what sexual intercourse is, and therefore develop an unhealthy relationship/view of multiple aspects of pornography, such as gender roles, safety, consent, and healthy relationships overall.

What are some of the potential legal, social and/or personal impacts of viewing pornography?

Viewing pornography/explicit content (any thing with an intent to arouse) is illegal for anyone under the age of 18. this includes sending photos and showing another person who is under the legal age. This can lead to a serious criminal record and reputation with peers, bosses, teachers, family, etc. socially, being outed as breaking this law, the person could face serious relationship changes, with altered views/expectations of you from these people. this can lead to missing job opportunities, loosing friends, cut off by family, etc. viewing pornography can affect your mental health and outlook of relationships, with altered expectations and an unhealthy view of being intimate with a partner.

How is difference treated at school (GIHS)?

At Glenunga, there is so much diversity and we have many ways to recognize and celebrate these differences. this is from Languages week, to having all the flags of every culture near the math wing, clubs, support groups, wellbeing, the pod and so on.

How have you approached difference?

I have a lot of friends who are different than me, such as through hair colour, height and interests. I like having lots of different friends because I like all of these people, and I like them differently because they are all different. when I see someone who is different than me (which is everyone because everyone is different) I usually want to make friends with them.

How could things be better at school in regards to difference?

I think that Glenunga is really strong in celebrating and supporting difference, and could not think of anything to be improved.

What can you change personally in how you respond to difference?

I can live with an open mind, and see the perspective of others when being told somethings, or being around people with different views than mine. this means being supportive of their morals, etc. and emphasizing with how they feel, offering support, etc.

How do you differ from the person in your scenario?

I have access to the clothes that fit me best/i feel the best in (my person may not have, specified she wore size 20 clothes, but not whether this was for comfort or financial, etc. reasons.

What have you learnt from this activity?

not all of the "help" tactics work for everyone

you cant tell who someone is very easily

everyone is at different levels in life

you don't often know how someone's life is

What are some positive outcomes of challenging discrimination and transphobia for the transgender, gender diverse and non-binary community?

For these communities, the negative attention that they receive is now known as shameful and not okay. therefore, when this negative attention is directed toward them, media and many communities even outside of the LGBTIA+ community understand that it is wrong and offer support, as well as learn from these mistakes to better our understanding and raise awareness that this is not okay.

How can challenging discrimination and transphobia benefit everyone in society?

As stated above, the negative attention leads to better teaching and understanding of how to act and what is and is not okay for these communities, to create friendlier environments and better support when this discrimination happens.

You have been training really hard to be selected for a sport team. your friend, who just tried out for a bit of fun, got in and you didn't. You feel ashamed - like you were shown up in front of everyone else - and angry at your friend.

What are some aggressive, passive and assertive ways of responding to the above scenario?

Aggressive - This would be a confrontation that has intent to make a change, meaning making the friend drop out of the team/sport. this could be behind their back, like a social media post, physical aggression, yelling, etc.

Passive - This would be forced acceptance, despite conflicting feelings. It might be through congratulating the friend, and saying "its fine" when they ask how you feel/ saying "glad you got the spot!"

How to body language and tone of voice affect this?

Positive body language makes the other person more confortable, and therefore aligns better with passive, or kind assertive

Negative body language is more agressive or angry, and can point toward conflicting feelings to the passive conversation

Write a sentence that defines your understanding of an intimate relationship

to me, an intimate relationship is one where the people in this relationship, although may not currently wish to actually be intimate, they have the intention of romantic interaction. In short this would be a talking stage, dating, engaged, married, etc. relationship.

Brainstorm some ways this might be shown

Physical touch

Evident expression of love language (positive affirmations, acts of service)

Commitment to talking/being around each other

Comfort in each others company

Attempts to actually like/interact with each other

Trying to make the other feel happy or comfortable/positive emotions toward you and also in general

What is sexual health?

Sexual health is your sexual state. this is through your maturity and availability to be in a relationship, how ready you are to be intimate, the actual health of your body in terms of STI's, etc. It is overall how ready your body is mentally and physically to have a relationship (platonic or intimate). this can also be the safety or ability to make educated and responsible decision regarding you activity, relations, sexuality, morals, beliefs, etc.
