In this relationship, there is communication, understanding, and compatibility. All these factors work together to create a healthy relationship. This relationship has a positive impact on my life because having a friend that I can trust and have fun with benefits my overall health. However, having her as a friend has negatively impacted my self-image. This is in no way her fault, but I seem to constantly compare myself to her, whether it be my weight or some other physical quality. Some strategies I can try to help improve my body image include: spending less time in front of mirrors, exercise for the joy of feeling my body move and grow stronger, and surrounding myself with people that support me (Health 4). I can adapt my attitude towards my body in order to ensure a more healthy life. I am going to try to maintain a positive body image.]]> 2017-05-07 19:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_chace/dwnc0sj8mmor/wish/170381104 maria_chace https://padlet.com/maria_chace/dwnc0sj8mmor/wish/170381106 My family is very important to me. My mom is especially important and has a large impact on my life. Although my relationship with my mom is far from perfect, I'd say it's not too bad. We communicate often through text and FaceTime since I don't see her very often, we are honest with each other, and try to practice forgiveness. Having a mom that I can look up to has positively impacted my life, because I strive to do well in school so I can succeed, as she did. There have not been many negative impacts this relationship has had on my life. However, I think more communication about contraception and teenage pregnancy could be beneficial. There are many different types of birth control. Abstinence is the only method 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. Condoms also are a method of contraception. According to the HHS Office on Women's Health, the male latex condom is the best method for protecting against STDs (Health 9). If effective contraception is not used, teenage pregnancy is a possibility. Teenage pregnancy has many effects on society and one's family. One effect is the need for help from the local, state or federal government agencies in the form of food stamps or housing assistance (Health 12).]]> 2017-05-07 19:05:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_chace/dwnc0sj8mmor/wish/170381106 maria_chace https://padlet.com/maria_chace/dwnc0sj8mmor/wish/170381114 Since I am currently in high school and plan to continue my education into college, it is very important to learn how to foster a healthy relationship with my teachers. Currently, I have an overall healthy relationship with my english teacher. In this relationship, communication is key because I need to be able to be able to ask questions and ask for help. I also try to treat her with respect. Most teachers will treat their students with respect if the student respects them.]]> 2017-05-07 19:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/maria_chace/dwnc0sj8mmor/wish/170381114
