But there is only one rule that is the most important for a healthy relationship. Honesty is really important, “Be honest in relationships. Do not lie or hide things from your partner. Remember every problem has a solution. Think before you speak. Transparency is important in relationships” (Relationships, 6). If the couple does not have trust in each other than there will be complications in their relationship and they will problem not stay together. Honesty is the base of the relationship because it lets the other person know that you really want to have a relationship with them and you will not do anything to hurt the relationship. Another way to stay healthy is to have a positive body image. Many people look in the mirror and they do not like what they see.  But a positive body image leads to a healthier life. There are many things that you can do to improve your body image. One of the most important ways to improve your image includes, “spend less and less time in front of mirrors—especially when they are making me feel uncomfortable and self-conscious about my body” (Self-Image, 3). When you spend less time in front of the mirror you do not have to worry about your image. You can focus on other important things. When you get pregnant, you not only have to keep yourself healthy but also your baby healthy as well. There are many ways that you can stay healthy but the most important thing to do is go to the doctors often. This is called parental care, “Regular monitoring by a professional will help ensure that your baby will be born healthy” (Teenage Pregnancy, 12). By regularly seeing the doctor you can ketch abnormalities before they can get too dangerous. If you do not go to the doctors and you have complications, your baby can be born prematurely or it can have a life long illness. When a teen gets pregnant it not only effects her and her family but it also effects the society around her as well. Children take after their parents, “Long-term effects include lack of education of both the parents and child” (Teenage Pregnancy, 12). If the mother does not finish school then her child might not finish school as well. This can decrease their chances of getting a good job so that they could provide for their families. It also effects the society. When a teen gets pregnant they usually do not have the fiances that they need to take care of the baby. They will begin to use federal finances to help themselves and their baby. The book stated, “Increased health care costs for both teen parents and their children costs the public a large amount of money, as well” (Teenage Pregnancy, 12). Since they need health care for their families they use the government funds. The government gets the funds from the people in society. The society people pay more for someone else's baby even though they have a baby of their own to take care of. Teens could be peer pressured into a risky behavior even if they do not want to do it. It is hard for people to stay abstinence. They should follow these steps to help them stay abstinence, “Remind yourself why you chose to be abstinent, Think about the consequences, and Don't reevaluate your decision to stay abstinent during sexually charged situations — stick with your decision until you can think about it with a clear head” (Contraception, 7).  It takes a really strong person to step back and think of the consequences that could come with a risky behavior. If they do do the risky behavior then they should have protection so that they will not have a baby. There are many different products to help protect people. The HHS recommends this for the best protection, “Only condoms have been proven to reduce the risk of getting some STDs” (Contraception, 9). They recommend them to use the ones with no pores to help prevent the spread of diseases.]]> 2017-05-07 21:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/by7d07fwzxbc/wish/170391569 stephanie_caple https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/by7d07fwzxbc/wish/170394512 My family and I have a great interpersonal relationship. We do have many things in common and we never hide anything from each other. Overall it is a positive relationship and we spend so much time together. We have many different memories with our family that are happy and fun. It also has a negative to the relationship though. My little sister causes me a lot of stress when I am trying to do work. I learned from this unit that stress can cause high blood pressure and lead to a long unhealthy life. But I cannot get away from the stress source because I live with her. My second interpersonal relationship is with one of my neighbors. They are so sweet and they allow me to babysit their children. It is a positive relationship because we spend every week together, and we have some really fun memories as well. But it is also a negative relationship as well. I mostly babysit their younger daughter that is 5. She is really nice sometimes but she is mostly mean to me. She also causes me a lot of stress and most of the time I stand there just counting down the minutes until I get to leave. I am never mean to her and I do what she wants, I do not know what else I could do. The final relationship I have is with my friend or honorary sister Kaleigh. We have so much fun with each other and we spend all the time together. She is so sweet and it is so much fun to spend time with her. There is also a negative to this situation. Sometimes she does act like a sister and she gets a little irritating. She bugs me just like my real sisters. But then we get over it and we have a great time. It is a way more positive relationship than it is negative. ]]> 2017-05-07 22:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanie_caple/by7d07fwzxbc/wish/170394512
