Despite all the information about smoking young people still continue to smoke. This may be because they do not see themselves as personally at risk, or maybe underestimating the consequences of smoking. Other influences on smoking behavior include the number of closed social group members that smoke or whether the parents smoke or not. ]]> 2019-05-10 02:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/daldry_heather_hd/g6t2e5jl2su6/wish/358735105 Burden of Disease: https://padlet.com/daldry_heather_hd/g6t2e5jl2su6/wish/358735819

Misuse of illicit pill popping can lead to a range of short- and long-term effects on health and wellbeing, such as internal organ damage (including brain damage) and depression. Those who experiment with substances during youth are more likely to develop substance abuse issues later in life, which further increases the risk of health conditions. Although the impacts will depend on the type of pill, how it is taken and the duration of use, some common consequences include social isolation, mental disorders, poor academic performance, unemployment, increased rate of criminal behaviour and family breakdown. ]]> 2019-05-10 02:58:21 UTC https://padlet.com/daldry_heather_hd/g6t2e5jl2su6/wish/358736769 Sexual health description https://padlet.com/daldry_heather_hd/g6t2e5jl2su6/wish/358737976 sexual relationships, safety, respect and transmitted infections]]> 2019-05-10 03:08:28 UTC https://padlet.com/daldry_heather_hd/g6t2e5jl2su6/wish/358737976 Burden of disease, inequalities and concerns https://padlet.com/daldry_heather_hd/g6t2e5jl2su6/wish/358738092 -Aboriginal and Torres strait islander youth are ten times more likely to have infections
