sarahcol — 2015-02-03 22:30:22 UTC

Hi team, watch this video, and then tell me what Health Education means to you.

2015-02-04 03:12:15 UTC

Chantelle

2015-02-04 03:27:57 UTC

what health education means to me it means that it's like setting you up for life like staying healthy

Emily

2015-02-04 03:28:08 UTC

Health Education, to me, means to firstly, know what it is and once you do, use it to help yourself and other people out.

Sinead

2015-02-04 03:45:12 UTC

In my opinion, Health Education to me means that you are learning things about your own health & just health in general that will or may benefit you in some way throughout your life. Learning about Health Education will teach you things that you can also share with your friends/family & may help them in some way too.

jenelle

2015-02-04 03:53:10 UTC

for me health education is for your physical, mental and emotional needs, and as well as putting your own health needs first you should also help other people too. like, you should exercise your body, mind and brain frequently

Erin

2015-02-04 04:04:03 UTC

what health education means to me is that you are setting yourself up for life buy learning about how to keep yourself healthy and stuff

Kaitlyn

2015-02-04 04:40:48 UTC

Heath education means a lot to me, as we get older we start making our heath our first priority, heathy mind, heathy body

Hanna

2015-02-04 05:31:52 UTC

Aswell as being educated myself, while taking health this year, I can help others around me. So for me, health studies will not just benefit myself, earning credits, I will also be helping others around me in the process. I am going to enjoy participating with helping in the community. Aswell as putting my needs first, as Jenelle quoted. Your mind and your body should always be your first priority.

Health studies will also benefit me in my future career path.

Max

2015-02-04 05:54:30 UTC

Health education to me means knowing about your body, keeping it healthy and in shape.

William

2015-02-04 06:47:38 UTC

Health is not about just you but it's about every single living being on earth and the lady was not worried about her but she was more concerned to help her community and to me that is the biggest thing someone can give. (Education)

2015-02-05 09:03:55 UTC

Health means alot to me because when my immune system is low I get sick very quick, so I have to take vitamins constantly. Health is a good thing to learn about because being healthy is not just about having a healthy sexy looking body its about your whole Wairua. ( Mind, Body and Spirt.) Kia ora 11 Hea

Maya Machuchu train

2015-02-05 10:03:56 UTC

Heath to me means like keeping fit and healthy! Also drinking lost of water and eating the right foods! Also having to good diet can help you focus at school and yeah idk!👌👌👌

Chloe

2015-02-05 21:23:28 UTC

Health education to me means ,looking after your body emotionally and physically

Caitlin

2015-02-06 02:13:16 UTC

To me health education means learning about keeping your body the way you need it to help you get through life with no struggles. It's not just the outside that's needs to be healthy but also the inside because your inside is mostly what gets you health down depending on what you eat, drink and anything you digest.

Zhane

2015-02-06 05:31:27 UTC

What health education means to me is having the knowledge to keep healthy throughout your life so you can be the best version of yourself

Brendan

2015-02-06 05:41:53 UTC

Health means to me is keeping healthy and fit

Depri

2015-02-06 22:12:39 UTC

Health education to me means keeping fit and eating the right things for in order to make your body function properly. Without the right nutrients in your body, gives you a higher chance of getting sick.

Minnesota accidentlygotpoetic

2015-02-07 10:42:42 UTC

Health, to me, is something we always have, and always need to get through every fast-passing day - mental health to keep us happy and willing to do anything (haha), physical health to actually get us up and moving until we need to lie back down in preparation for tomorrow, spiritual health to keep us sane and level headed throughout our life etc etc etc. Health education teaches us about all the different types of health, and how to keep them at their peaks so we can go throw the fluidly flowing days without interference of something easily avoidable with a few minutes of class time and practice.

Jesse skinner

2015-02-09 04:04:40 UTC

Health to me is keeping fit and eating right in order to maitaining a healthy wellbeing

carlene

2015-02-09 18:14:57 UTC

health education means to me, evenly balancing your emotional, mental, spiritual and physical health. to be in a healthy mind set to maintain your four walls

Sydonie

2015-02-10 07:39:15 UTC

What health means to me is to keep fit and stay healthy

Ebony

2015-02-10 07:55:04 UTC

Health to me is what I feel on the inside and how I look on the outside :)

Miss Collett - Week 2

sarahcol — 2015-02-15 05:49:13 UTC

This week we are going to begin discussing our SMART goal for our first assessment. Thinking about the SMART rationale, which aspect of it do you think is most important and why?

Realistic because then you know you are able to complete the goal to a full standard

2015-02-15 05:55:01 UTC

Who wrote this??? I need to know if you want your name ticked off!

Erin

2015-02-15 05:55:53 UTC

Realistic because if do a goal that you know isnt going to be posable then why do it so do something realistic so you know you can do it

Emily Rotary-Engine

2015-02-15 05:56:04 UTC

I think attainable is an important aspect because you have to be able to achieve your goal, as well as pushing yourself. It also needs to be something you are capable of doing.

Chantelle

2015-02-15 06:02:45 UTC

I think that realistic is an important aspect because if you set your self up for a goal that you know you can't achieve That's not being realistic so you set yourself up for a goal that is realistic so you can achieve you're goal in that time management

Jesse

2015-02-15 06:04:16 UTC

I think attainable is an important because the goal that you set has to be able to be achievable in every shape or form.

XHANIA

2015-02-15 07:42:27 UTC

I think that A one is pretty important because you don't make a goal if your not going to push yourself to your limits, and if you don't push yourself to your limits than why make goals?

jenelle

2015-02-16 03:24:34 UTC

i think that the most important is attainability because a goal is something that pushes you or improves something of your ability so if you know that one of your goals is going to do neither whats the point? you're just wasting your time when you could be doing something productive.

Ebony

2015-02-16 04:49:35 UTC

I think attain would be the best because you want to be able to complete the goal that you have set for yourself and feel that sense of achievement

Olivia

2015-02-16 05:11:23 UTC

I think attainable is one of the most important stages of setting goals because this shows how achievable this goal is and how you will push yourself to complete the task you have set

Zhane

2015-02-16 05:51:08 UTC

I think attainable is because you should be aiming to set a goal for yourself that is slightly challenging to you but able to achieve

William jane hansen

2015-02-16 09:46:43 UTC

for me it d BE a big A=attainable I like to push my self to try some thing new and some things you might only get one go at it in life and you my not EVER get a go again so its always good to step out side your comfit zone and try something new. and you might end up taking a fancy to it but you will always have something at the back of your head saying '' I should have done that".

Max

2015-02-16 10:39:36 UTC

I think the R is because people can make any goal but most of the time it is unreachabl

Chloe

2015-02-17 06:56:04 UTC

I think realistic is the most important aspect to setting a goal because you dont want to set yourself up to failure,you want to challenge yourself but at the same time have a goal that is achieveable.

Minnesota

2015-02-18 07:30:01 UTC

I have found that question quite a hard one to answer, because in a SMART goal all elements are just as important as the others, though, it I WERE to select one, I would probably select Specific, because unless I know what I am to achieve in great detail, how will I be able to complete it properly with a strong, satisfactory

outcome?

Kaitlyn😄😄😗😗💚💚

2015-02-18 08:04:56 UTC

I think attainable because , you need to be true to your self what you can achieve, challenge ourselfs but not be unrealistic ☺

Depri

2015-02-18 20:07:13 UTC

Personally I think realistic is important because you need to be able to complete the goal. If it's something crazy and not achievable, there's no goal to go forth with.

Brendan

hunt5870 — 2015-02-19 03:34:42 UTC

I would have to say S because it says where, what and how and those are impotent

Carlene

2015-02-19 03:42:44 UTC

I think attainable is one of the more important ones because you know that you're capable of doing it and you can keep at your goal until it is accomplished. You won't doubt yourself or question if you can do it bc you have confidence

Maya

2015-02-19 04:13:24 UTC

i think that specific is the most important one because you have to be specific about what you want to do and how you're going to do it. Also if you're not specific then you don't really know exactly what you're trying to achieve :-----)

Hanna

2015-02-19 04:51:31 UTC

An antainable goal is realistic in my opinion, something you know you can do, yet at the same time push yourself to the limit, also keeping in mind to not make your goal unachievable to the extent of yourself knowing you absolutely cannot achieve this, so always remember to keep your goals achievable and attainable.

Sinead

2015-02-19 19:11:35 UTC

In my opinion specific is more important because when you set your goal, you want it to be clear & you want to know that the goal you're setting is specific & achievable.

ilea

2015-02-19 19:17:49 UTC

I think that being specific is very important because in order to achieve your goal you need to be specific in how your going to do it , and if your not specfic enough than you dont know what your actually going to achieve

Jesse

2015-02-20 00:53:50 UTC

Ok I just found out how to use this thing ok ok. I think attainable is important because you need to push yourself but be realistic about it. Make sure you have a goal that you know that you are able to reach but all you need to do is put more effort into it. Did that even make sense??

Miss Collett - Week 3

sarahcol — 2015-02-22 08:27:37 UTC

This page shares a very interesting analogy about how the aspects of Hauora are always connected in some way. Share an example of a time recently where you know that more than one aspect of your well-being has been affected. Remember it doesn't always have to be negative!

Erin

2015-02-25 05:31:33 UTC

One thing i know that has been affecting more then, one aspect of my well being is not getting enough sleep, i think its affecting my physical well-being because well, im tired heaps and cant focus and its affecting my mental well-being ,beacause im grumpy and i cant concentrate as much as normal ,and also its affecting my social well-being because i dont want to hang out with, my friends and when i do im grumpy at them.

Hanna

hanna_holland — 2015-02-25 05:44:36 UTC

Lately, with all of my physical activities I have been participating in, not just have I noticed my physical aspect of my well being improved, I have noticed my mental and emotional well being dramatically change, I am happier. Fitter, & less stressed about things. I have let go of the things that used to bring me down, and replaced it with something that pushes me to my limit, I can challenge myself with physical activities that change my whole well being for the better of myself, as well as people around me, I can encourage them to do these things with me for a happier environment, for everybody.

carlene

2015-02-25 05:45:52 UTC

lately i havent been getting enough sleep, which has affected all my four walls, my physical well-being by not having enough energy to do anything and just not being motivated. mental/emotional well-being is being effected by being quite moody and not a lot of patience, not concentrating in class and feeling really run down. my social well-being is lacking with getting distracted easy and not having an effort to make conversation and zoning out.

William jane hansen😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

2015-02-25 05:52:27 UTC

A fue days ago my class had a practice test and I didn't pass but I was one thing off and I was over the moon (mental and emotional) but it just wasn't that that was just the bace of a cake . Once I herd that I was so so close to passing I had in of the best day of my life, I went to church and I had a feeling that I've never had before I'm not quite sure what it was but it was "magical" (spiritual and values). After school I just wanted to go for a nice bike ride and I will only do that if I'm f...ed off or really really happy and I was the last one :) (physical). AND lucky last (social) I was so eager to learn and to get work done. And that one thing did ALL that :):):):):):):))

Emily

2015-02-25 05:53:25 UTC

A time where my well-being has been affected, was in maths today. It seems weird to me that it was in class, but I felt a sense of achievement. We had this challenge to do by ourselves; no teacher or peer help. Someone else and myself were the only two to complete the challenge and get it right. This enhanced my mental and emotional well-being because I felt happier about maths.

jenelle

2015-02-25 06:31:08 UTC

lately all my four walls of my well-being has been either affected positively or negatively. For example, my physical well-being has been affected positively from my fruit goal, and from all the exercise i've been doing recently. My spiritual well-being has improved positively from realising that i need to put myself before others sometimes and benefiting my work ethic. my social well-being is slowly climbing with new experiences and then lastly my mental/emotional well-being has been affected equally positively and negatively with my focus on school/NCEA and just my emotions going crazy (probably with my lack of sleep)

Chantelle

2015-02-25 09:47:31 UTC

A time Where my Well being has been affected lately has been my sleep Witch is my physical and social Well being because I'm not getting enough sleep witch effects my physical Well being by getting, tried, cranky, can't concentrate on my school work, or any work that I get. This also effects my social Well being by getting angry at my friends and by that I'm slowly losing them and Yeah this also effects my school learning by falling asleep in class (I should go to bed earlier though)

Zhane

2015-02-26 00:10:53 UTC

My well being has been recently affected when I started at Waiopehu. My social well being was pretty low because I didn't know much people and I was too shy to talk. That affected my emotional well being. My physical well being was low because I was overwhelmed and became strained. My spiritual well being was low too because my values I had from my old school was different from Pehu's so I felt like I had to change my values. But after a few weeks, my well being has risen a lot and I feel heaps better now.

sydonie

2015-02-26 00:13:15 UTC

a time where my well being has been affected by me not getting enough sleep. my social/ physical/mental was all effected i was always in a bad mood so that made me less social. when i was tired i didn't have energy to get through the day so i was physically unwell and i was to tired to think so my mental strength was not strong. i started to get more sleep and since then i have gained a positive attitude to life and i am more awake then i ever have been

Depri

2015-02-26 00:13:28 UTC

An aspect in my well being is not getting enough sleep. With the lack of sleep I physically can't focus and concentrate because I'm constantly tired and energyless. That also makes my moods in a down low. Now that I am going to bed ealier and having breakfast, activities I partisipate in and school subjects, I am more awake and have a good clear mind ready to start the day with a positive attitude and a positive ending!

max

2015-02-26 00:20:12 UTC

Recently my physical wellbieng has been affected because i have not being doing to many physical activitys like going up trig and

Sinead

2015-02-26 03:46:11 UTC

As a few others have already mentioned, an aspect of my well-being that has been affected is my physical well-being and by that I would say that I am not getting enough sleep which causes my body to feel tired, moody & just not up for anything etc but a positive aspect of my well-being that has been affected is my social well-being. I feel like because I am involving myself more into things such as our house cheerleading & banner that I'm going to be socialising with people that I wouldn't often socialise with, which is good.

maya

2015-02-26 05:36:17 UTC

my physical well-being is being affected because im not very physical and that affects my well-being because im not getting out and doing stuff.. idkkkkkkk

Kaitlyn 💓

2015-02-26 06:40:25 UTC

My spiritual and physical well-being is being affected because I'm never off my phone, physically it affects my sleep as It's very hard to get up in in the morning, and spiritually, it affects my mood and progress the next day , and it's hard to keep up with my learning as I'm half dead in class everyday ☺

Ebony

2015-02-26 07:27:10 UTC

My spiritual, mental and emotional and social wellbeing has been affected this week. ( in a good way). I have surrounded myself with people that have brought me up and making me feel happy instead of people that bring me down. I have really been focusing on my goal for health and have so far achieved up to this point which has also effected my physical well being to because I can see the changes in my body already :)

Chloe

2015-02-26 08:38:50 UTC

Lately I haven't been getting enough sleep at night because ive been busy with homework,that I leave to do late at night,this has effected 3 of my walls.My physical well-being because not having the energy to pay attention in class time and feeling lazy all the time.Social well-being because I can't be bothered making any efforts to talk or even thinking about socializing.Mental/emotional well-being has been effected because im moody and angry and tried all the time and just not motivated.

Jesse

2015-02-26 09:32:49 UTC

In the last couple of weeks I haven't been getting enough sleep at night because ive been busy with my commitments such as sports and homework,that I leave to do till the las minute this has effected my 3 walls.first my physical well-being because not having the energy to consentrate in class. this will really effect my learning and secondly my Social well-being because I can't be bothered to make any efforts to communicate or think about socializing with others.and lastly and my mental and emotional feelings since i have had hardly any sleep i have moddy which is not very helpfull to any one.

Jesse

2015-02-27 00:33:08 UTC

Right now I'm really stressed out. Juggling a new job, boyfriend, friends, family, studying and also fitting in my exercises. I don't get much sleep. My physical well being is quite low so I find it hard to focus in class. My social well being is good because I spend time with peole I like alot but that's sort of a problem too because I'm spending too much time bein social and not focusing on anything else. I need to manage my time properly and then maybe I won't be so stressed :--)

Max

2015-03-01 05:53:53 UTC

Recently my physical well being has been not good because I have not been doing much activity because i have had other things on and have not really been bothered to go up trig. I think that in order to have a good life you need to have plenty of exercise .

Brendan

2015-03-01 06:43:06 UTC

Recently I have not had a lot of sleep, and that affects me, so I dont really bother about learning

Miss Collett - Week 4

sarahcol — 2015-03-01 07:11:14 UTC

Here is an article that challenges the idea of SMART goals. What are you thoughts around this? Have you got your intention right for your own goal? What is your intention? Some up your thoughts around this article

Emily

2015-03-01 07:15:58 UTC

My thoughts about this article is that different things work for different people. SMART goals might not work for everyone depending on your lifestyle. Even though a SMART goal is based around your life and how busy/not busy it is, obstacles may crop up that you can't avoid. My intention for my goal is to benefit MYSELF and make MYSELF feel good about something I've achieved. I do think my intention is right because setting a goal is to help yourself improve on whatever it is you want to improve on

Maya

2015-03-01 09:18:39 UTC

i guess it just depends on how you work and if SMART goals are good for you or not. Because everybody is different

Ebony

2015-03-02 03:48:35 UTC

My intentions for my goal are to feel good on the inside and look good on the outside. My goal really is to benefit myself not anyone else. I think that SMART goals is a really good way to plan out your goal cause this way you have a better chance of achieving your goal if you have the right will power and believe you can do it. This is just my opinion but like everyone else has said 'Everyone is different.'

Hanna

hanna_holland — 2015-03-02 05:45:27 UTC

Obviously, different things work for different people, the SMART goal may work for others, others may disagree, depending on who YOU are, also on the situation, time, and goal obviously,But I think my intentions for my goal are measurable, and achievable. This goal is for me, to benefit myself, no body else, its to for me to feel good, look good and be happy within myself, and have something that I can accomplish, But not just achieve but also keep up with, to make a lifestyle of.

jenelle

2015-03-03 04:25:58 UTC

My thoughts around this article is that your own goal has to rotate around you. And I 100% agree when it says how your SMART goal has to be beneficiary to you as well. Because you should chose a goal which has something to enhance what you're lacking. My intention for my goal suits me because it's something that I'm not doing as much as I should. And that hopefully by the end of these six weeks my well-being would have improved and enhanced the rest of my four-walls; because without one wall the rest crumbles.

Zhane

2015-03-03 21:43:17 UTC

I think everyone has to set up a goal that is suitable for you. If the SMART way works for you, you plan yourself a SMART goal. But if anything else works for you, you obviously plan your goal that way. My intention for my goal suits me well because it's something important that I'm trying to do more often, and I am striving to continue doing my goal even after the six weeks so my four walls will stay stable for longer.

Chantelle

2015-03-04 02:52:12 UTC

My intentions for my goal are to get more sleep, and feel like you're not being mean around you're friends, because of the sleep you're getting, and all the engery you have for the day. But i don't think everyone will have a SMART goal, they might have a different way for their goal, but my SMART goal suits me. And after the 6 weeks, my four goals will be more stable.

Carlene

2015-03-04 04:12:31 UTC

My intentions for my goal is to feel good and maybe even look good inside and out! Not to feel bloated but light and healthy! SMART goal to me is great! But even though I think its great doesn't mean it is for someone else, everyone has different preferences and likes to do things differently! If it fits you then great but if not then that's ok and then you can do things your own way

Olivia Tapueluelu

2015-03-04 04:49:31 UTC

My SMART goal is to make me feel better about myself. The goal i have chosen for myself helps me with what i would like to improve on. That doesn't mean it will help other people with what they want to do. Everyone works in different ways

Erin

2015-03-04 05:45:26 UTC

My intentions for my goal are to feel good and not be as grumpy. My goal is to benifit my the way i work and the way i feel. I think that SMART goals is a really good way to plan out your goal because it means you have a better chance to achive your goal. but every one works differently.

Max

2015-03-04 07:54:29 UTC

Like everything in life the S.M.A.R.T goal only works if you actually try. It also depends on the person, if you don't believe that you can achieve your goal it will be much harder to do. But if you believe that you can do it then you're chance of achieving will be much higher.

2015-03-04 08:15:41 UTC

Sinead aka nae nae

2015-03-05 07:20:32 UTC

My intentions are just to basically eat more healthier & get as many vitamins in my body as I can for my goal. Having a SMART goal is really good to have a clear, understanding of what you are trying to achieve but in saying that, other people may disagree & find that other strategies to achieve goals work more better for them.

ilea

2015-03-06 03:29:29 UTC

my intentions for my goal is to eat good foods i want to be able to achieve my goal and also be enthusiastic about what im trying to achieve , because if i dont care about my goal than how will i achieve it ? My goal also suits me because i really do want to change my eating and also feel good about my self

Chlo

2015-03-06 22:20:52 UTC

My intentions for my goal is to generally eat more fruit and vegetables ,because since im vegetrain i lack in vitamins and minerals meat provides ,so i want to boost and make sure im including them into my diet.Smart goals are personal really helpful and encouraging and you have a higher chances of achieving your goal,but everyones different,you might think its a waste of time or think its great,it really depends on how you look at it and how much effect you put towards your goal.

William

2015-03-07 02:47:22 UTC

I didn't quite get it but this is what I thort.

Goals are a thug to be a guide to complete something and a time of date is good but what if you have committed to some things and it stops you from doing your goal so what I get from this is time is good but it's a guide line

Minnesota

2015-03-08 06:26:37 UTC

In a sense, I agree with what this article is saying, but I also feel that deadlines are the most important part of any goal - as someone who procrastinates like there is no tomorrow, I find the deadline the most important part of my journey, and will find any way I can to meet any task at whatever time has been set for it, even if I decide to take action in the last minute. What I'm trying to say is, is that the timeframe motivates me to finish my goal on time, because if I have free-reins on my goal and can sculpt it around me, I'd probably end up not doing it. Though with the goal I have set, being a time-based goal, meeting it can be a bit harder - when procrastination gets in the way, all tasks are put on delay. And since I have to control time, as someone who normally let's time run around their ankles, my goal is naturally a bit harder for me to complete, but I have this in mind at all times and hope to control my time-wasting habits, and hopefully with this intention, I will be able to complete the goal I have set for myself.

Jesse

2015-03-08 07:46:20 UTC

my smart goal is to get my fitness up for the start of the soccer season and to get my body fitter and stronger also i think to have a smart goal you have to be welling to do it right tell the end.

Miss Collett - Week 5

sarahcol — 2015-03-09 01:27:48 UTC

Read the attached article, what do you think about it? Explain your thoughts around Health education in schools.

Emily

2015-03-09 03:29:05 UTC

After reading this article, I feel that teaching all aspects of health education is important. I think this is important because it teaches children of all different ages within the schools the aspects of health education and the importance of them all. This kind of education will help them in the future, whether it's for a future career, just to inform them of how to live well and healthy, enhance their well-being or just so they know how to look after themselves depending on their situation.

In today's society it is important to know all about health education because I know I would of loved to be taught that when I was younger. It is important for children especially so that they will grow up having more knowledge about the world around them. This one is for the smart goal: I think personally having a smart goal will help you achieve more in your life time. It helps with time management, it's achievable, specific, etc.. so it's a great guide to have and help ya achieve your goal.

to be honest I would have loved to be taught all this stuff when I was younger. I think that this particular topic should be talked about more with younger kids because it could make a big impact on them when they grow up

I think that learning health education is a very important aspect. Personally I would of loved to be taught this at a younger age so that now, in this day and age I would have better knowledge as I grew up, and growing on info when we are learning it. Being taught on this subject is a great idea beacuse it makes a big impact on they way you grow up.

Olivia

2015-03-10 05:43:53 UTC

I think that people should be learning about this stuff kinda young but before they go to college! because at college everyone knows what everything is and knows about that stuff. i was one of the few people who didn't know anything health education witch sucked cause everyone would talk about it and I wouldn't know a thing so it was hard to relate.

ilea

2015-03-10 06:00:14 UTC

I think that health education is important for any age group, to be honest i would have enjoyed being taught younger about health education so i would have a better understanding. I think learning about health education would make a big impact on your life growing up.

I think that it is very important to teach students about health because it effects everyone, personally I think that it should be compulsory to all college students because it is a time when your body goes through big changes and they need to be told what's happening.

Jenelle

2015-03-11 04:38:44 UTC

Health education should definitely (if not already) be taught to primary schoolers, because even though they are young, they should be aware of what they're doing and how it effects them- but they should only learn the topics that they are in need of knowledge now, not information that they don't understand/haven't experienced yet. And then as they grow older they learn things with more depth and then growing to understand it greatly. And I think it's good that they're theory and practical lessons as well

Sinead

2015-03-11 08:02:10 UTC

I think that Health Education is a good subject to be taught at all ages, whether it'd be young or old. I think it is important to know about your health & your body as you are growing because it'll give you a clear idea on what is happening around you & to you. Learning abit about it before heading to college is good to have a clear understanding of what you may learn about in the future & its good to get the knowledge earlier especially if it will help you with your career pathway.

Zhane

2015-03-11 23:33:36 UTC

I think every school (primary through to high school) should have a health related subject. It'll teach people at a young age what health is, how it has an impact on them and it'll give them a better idea as they grow up. Having a clear knowledge of health as we get older will help us understand our body, personal well-being, etc. and that's an important part of life.

Carlene

2015-03-11 23:57:15 UTC

after reading this article I think it is important to have a class that teaches health, even through primary, to help us know more about the things you don't get taught in other classes or maybe at home. To learn about yourself and your body and know you're not alone, and to be aware or other people and identifying feelings in depth.

I think it is important for all children to have a basic understanding of health and how everything is with your body. There are always new things to learn so health through all ages of school is very important. Health is also an enjoyable class so im not going to complain about it.

Brendan

i honestly think after i had read this article i think that teaching health in school is a great idea because the students need to now new things and life skills for there future life ahead of them also health is a enjoyable class to take.

Minn

2015-03-13 11:09:33 UTC

After finishing this article, I think it is quite disappointing to discover that youth in their fourth year at school are not taught health as its own separate subject – their health is what controls how they act, how they think, how they live, and I understand that some people may think, ‘oh, they’re just kids, they probably won’t understand’, but you do realise children of that age are more accepting to different ways of thinking than those in the age group of year eight and up – if we teach them how to look after themselves now, imagine the possible outcome it could have, and how positive the impact could be on their future.

Hanna

2015-03-14 00:41:25 UTC

Personally, health studies is an important part of a child's learning, no matter how old a kid may be, as long as they understand the concept around things they need to know, and old enough to understand I agree with the teaching within primary schools is a key to a child's development within themselfs, some may disagree to the fact that this may be too young, but I can see why they need to be taught these things, obviously at a age when they can understand and learn around.

chloe

2015-03-14 08:12:52 UTC

I think that health education is an important subject at very school,it doesn't matter how old you are because it will also help you mentally and physically .Helping you think positively and is an great aspect to know for the future. Health education is a subject that provides you the knowledge ,for a healthy development for your body and mind

Miss Collett - Week 6

sarahcol — 2015-03-15 02:56:49 UTC

Attached are the achievement objectives for Level 6 (Yr 11) Health from the curriculum. Thinking about the new unit we are starting this week, which strand do you believe Sexuality comes under and why?

Erin

2015-03-16 03:17:08 UTC

I think that sexuality comes under strand C ,because looking at the three headings they are all relevant to sexuality. E.g: interpersonal skills is all about how you get on with other people .A persons sexuality can effect the type of relatinships the have in and outside of school.Identity ,sensitivity and respect identity is all about who you are ,sensitivity is like how you treat others and this can be because of there sexuality. Respect other peoples differences and this includes there sexuality.

Emily

2015-03-17 03:33:37 UTC

I think that sexuality comes under strand A. I think this because sexuality is about Personal Health and Physical Development. Your personal growth and development contribute towards this because as you grow up, you need to pay more attention to your personal health yourself rather than relying on someone else. Your Physical Development also contributes to this as your physical appearance does change as you grow. You will also learn to understand your own Self Worth and Personal Identity to work out who you are and understand yourself.

Ebony

2015-03-19 05:16:29 UTC

I think strand C because its all about relationships whether that's sexually or not. Also the tittle Identity, sensitivity and respect all come under the topic sexuality because there are things like sexual identity, sexual orientation etc.. sexual behaviour also comes under inter-relationships, one of the other tittles, because it involves having a relationship with someone

Sinead

2015-03-19 06:50:47 UTC

First and foremost I think that sexuality definitely is based around all of these strands. For example, Strand A said on the sub-heading 4. Personal Identity and Self-worth, it talks about your sexuality and personal identity which I believe is how people perceive or how you perceive yourself to others. Under the heading talking about your personal growth & development could also be apart of your sexuality because it talks about the choices you make which have an impact on your well-being. Also looking at Strand C, it talks about your Identity, sensitivity and respect which I believe refer to sexuality as a pose of who you are (identity) and also talking about respecting others, which you could say is respecting peoples identity and who they are as a person.

Carlene

2015-03-19 08:17:53 UTC

I think all these strands are as important as each other but for me the most important one would be C, because you are talking about relationships which is learning about not only you but also other people. That could be friends, family, boyfriends/girlfriends, teachers etc, learning about other people which is so important! Also identity, sensitivity and respect which is identifying yourself as a person, your sexual identity. respecting everyone and their choices, open to everyone and always open minded. This is identifying yourself as a person

Olivia

2015-03-19 18:44:11 UTC

To me I think that relationships with other people would be something that you should talk about in classes because its important to know what you would be comfortable with when you and your panther are starting to push boundaries. Another reason why they should talk about relationships in class rooms is because people might not understand what a relationship is. They might only see what the media portrays. Healthy Communities and Environments is another one that should be talk more about in class, because they should be tough to be themselves and to believe in what they think is right and not pushing any relation to cultural beliefs onto the child. They should also be learning whats healthy for them and learning how to set goals. Everything else I think is important but not as important as relationships with others or healthy communities and environments.

jenelle

2015-03-19 19:17:09 UTC

i think that sexuality comes under Strand C because it's not all about you, it's about the person(s) you're demonstrating this with. It's about communication and morals etc. But to me most of all it's about growth and learning because you do learn new things about your sexuality as you grow older which you either learn personally or interpersonally.

Zhane

2015-03-20 01:13:47 UTC

I think that sexuality comes under strand C because to me, sexuality has to do with not only you, but who you have relationships with. Having these interpersonal relationships can change your aspect of sexuality and can even change how you identify your sexuality.

Minnesota (oops this is really brief)

2015-03-20 01:18:17 UTC

I feel the current unit we are doing falls under A, C and D. Under A, for this unit is teaching us about us, how our body works (how we can protect it, and keep it at the best condition we can), and how we, ourselves, work, by learning in depth about sexuality, and possibly learning more about ourselves. Under C, as we also need to consider how we interact with others and how those interactions, being physical and mental/emotional, can effect them, their 4 walls of well-being, and sometimes even their sexuality.

Depri

2015-03-20 01:28:44 UTC

I think C because it's important to know about relationships and how to interact with other people. You're not only talking about yourself it can be your friends, family, partners in the near future and everyone around you. Finding out your sexual identity and who you are is also the most important factor in life.

Maya

2015-03-20 01:32:04 UTC

I think that sexuality comes under strand A because it talks about personal growth and development and that is very important to every one at the age we are because everybody is experiencing changes and different feelings and it is very important that they need to know what is happening

ilea

2015-03-20 02:59:18 UTC

I think that sexuality is based around each and everyone strand, I think that strand A is very important because it talks about personal growth and development which is important at any age but mostly the age where you are growing up in your teenage years when things start to change and you start experiencing different things. Also when u get older your behavior and attitude changes, i think its important to know this when you hit a certain age in your teen years.

chloe

2015-03-21 20:19:09 UTC

Looking at the achievement levels I think sexuality comes under strand c-relationships with others because your learning your sexual identity and others as this is important impact for life, also recongnising not only yours , but others sensitivity,as this effects the type of relationship you are involved in, respecting each others beliefs or decisions for who they are and in general,all of theses aspects all relate to sexuality if its interpersonal or personal.

ka

Olivia

2015-03-27 06:23:14 UTC

In my opinion I think it is not okay for someone who is younger than 15 to be sexually active. Having sex with someone is your choice but someone under the age of 15 probably have no idea about all the risks and everything that can happen after sex. People who are as young as 12 going out smoking, drinking and doing drugs makes me wonder if the parents know about what they are doing or teaching these kids. what 12 year-old knows about this because when I was 12 I was worrying about what barbie I was going to play with not what drugs i was going to take next. Why do young people commit suicide? what person at the age of 15 wants to give up on life and kill themselves? I guess there are just some bad people out there. Accidents do happen yeah but sometimes they just get so out of hand and end in death. It seems that car crashes are a big reason for death. Even though 15 is underage for just about everything I think that's an okay age to start drinking but smoking no. In my opinion I dont think smokings good for anyone there are just so many health risks and everything.

chloe

2015-03-28 07:30:37 UTC

I think that the number is so low for using contraception because young teenagers aren't fully aware of the consequences and don't have enough knowledge to fully understand the health risk.Also they might be to embarrassed to talk to their parents or just anyone,as this is because contraception are publicly available and not comfortable enough to talk about it they might think that it wont happen to them or have a every low chance of it to happen to them .

Hanna

hanna_holland — 2015-03-29 03:16:43 UTC

Reasons for me, why I think the use of contraception is so low, is the knowledge around the whole concept for teenagers, the article states that 10-30% of 15 year old's are likely to have sex, that's extremely young, these teenagers still don't know the full consequences around the whole thing, this is why the rate of teen pregnancy is so high in New Zealand. Teenagers don't know about contraception! They don't know why its advised when being sexually active they don't know about it, this is why this should be discussed more often, so when push comes to shove they know about it, and this wont be so daunting for them.

2015-05-03 06:31:30 UTC

This boy is probably the strongest one I can think of.

The question I'm asking is, how is his well-being don't focus on the negative only on the positive

This story is very graphic

Max

2015-05-03 09:31:03 UTC

This is just amazing. I think that his mental wellbeing is incredible and he is positive about everything that he encounters. That pain in his eyes wasn't something that can be faked so he also has good physical wellbeing in the aspect that he has a high pain tolerance. I cant get over the fact that he is 14 but has the maturity of an adult, even most adults would struggle in that situation. This made my big struggles seem silly and irrelevant.

Emily

2015-05-05 04:08:33 UTC

First off, this story was moving. Although his physical well-being isn't top notch, his mental and emotional well-being is right up there. A 14 year old shouldn't have to go through what he does but his attitude towards everything else is amazing. He has such a good attitude towards life despite his condition. His passion for hockey is strong and he's got the determination and drive to actually play a sport. We take most things for granted without even giving a thought about what someone else is going through. This is also a good reminder that if this boy can survive and go through the painful process that he does, we can handle a little bit of pain in our lives once in a while.

Ebony

2015-05-08 19:43:10 UTC

His spiritual well being has got to be soooo strong. The fact that even though he is in pain all the time, he wont stop what he's doing. He never doubted himself and kept on dreaming. His emotional and mental state like he said, gets better with the people he surrounds himself with because they believe in him. His physical wellbeing, although at first doesn't look good but obviously he is a very strong young boy. And his social wellbeing must also be strong to, he said that he wanted to be an embassador to help the other people that are sick just like him.

Depri

2015-05-09 11:40:14 UTC

This story really touches my heart. His spiritual well-being is unbelievably strong. He goes through the most painful experiences day after day and he still manages to keep a positive attitude and soldiers on. He has so much support and belief in him and that makes his emotional and mental well-being stronger by the day. He's constantly in pain but nothing stops him from getting out there and doing the stuff he wants to do which encourages his social and physical well-being, as well as him wanting to help other children and people like himself.

Minnesota

2015-05-09 21:07:51 UTC

His mental and emotional well being are something almost incomparable to anything else - he knows he will die young, and he knows he will suffer everyday until he does so, but to still want to be socially out there as much as possible, even though he cannot walk independently, to help out with the game, even though he cannot physically attribute to it, and to see such a light in this world, to think positively everyday until he can't anymore, is what touches me the most.

Hanna

2015-05-11 06:53:31 UTC

I have seen this documentary before, it was hard for me to watch, I found it quite graphic, but to be able to see and understand his story it needs to be graphic, I love the way now he takes his condition, even though how much main he must be in each and every day, his positivy towards life amazes me, his well being is positively affected by all the amazing people surrounded by him all the time, ie his mother, each and everyday she bathes him, changes him, even with this condition he aspires to things, and this shall not stop him with his positivity towards life.

Chloe

2015-05-11 07:06:44 UTC

This is so emotional to watch ,what this young little boy is going through this and how he keeps strong and not giving up on his dreams and wanted to help others in need like him.I think his well-being will be enhances postivly ,physical keeping strong,even though the pain he gos though is really bad and even wanted to play physical sports ,and not giving up on the things he wants.mental and emotional having the best support and being in a loving environment,also that he wants to help others to get thought what he's going thought.also him as a young boys,he's trying to get involved in activities and wanted to meet to people.I admire the way how he accepts his conditions and how he actually wants to live his life,and stay positive ,though he struggles everyday,he's always looking on the bright side of things and such a happy child .

Brendan

2015-05-11 08:14:09 UTC

This is just so sad and emotional to hear and watch. But he should never give up on his dreams. This is just so pain full for him but however I think when he meets someone with the same skin problem his well-being will go up a lot, and phsical keeps getting better and better

jenelle

2015-05-12 04:19:10 UTC

this was so hard for me to watch. I think that his mental/emotional well-being is so strong partly because he has always live that way, he doesn't know different... but that doesn't stop him from trying to escape the pain whilst he sleeps. Also I think one of main support he has is his mum. He and his mum would have such a strong and healthy relationship from going through his condition together. I think spiritually he is amazing. He is so passionate about sports and doesn't let anything stop him from keeping away from it, even though he can't physically play he still does everything he can from getting as involved as possible. And yeah, he is so strong physically as well, you can tell the bandaging process is actually excruciatingly painful and I could never imagine or even process the very pain he experiences EVERY day, EVEN when he sleeps.

Following on from the video that William posted last week. The question is, how is the well being of his mother impacted/enhanced by her experiences with EB?

Ebony

2015-05-17 04:37:28 UTC

His mother is a very strong woman. She would have to be to have to watch your kid suffer like that . Her well being would be in my opinion unstable. Having to worry about her son all the time like if he is in pain or not or how long he has to live. I think that because that's how I would feel besides being hopeful that he is okay as well.

Maya

Obviously, his mother is impacted in such way to make her a stronger person, with changing his bandages everyday, dealing with his pain, his illness, & disability with not being able to do the things a 9 year old should be able to do, her life revolves her son,I would seem her positivity towards life, enhancing her well being in a good way with not taking herself for granted.

Jesse R

2015-05-22 02:46:02 UTC

This was quite emotional to watch to be honest, this is obviously super hard and painfull for him. Poor guy.Honestly if I had a child with this illness I wouldn't be able to cope so his mother is so strong and I respect her so much. He has sort of adapted to his illness but I wish he never did has it anyway. I would say that his mother's well being would be quite strong to cope with this. No mother should have to go day by day watching their child in pain. Good on her

Zhane

2015-05-22 02:52:17 UTC

His mum's well-being has enhanced quite dramatically. Having to see her son in pain would hurt her a lot, but seeing how positive he is about his life, even with his condition, enhances her well-being physically, spritually, mentally and emotionally because she can be positive if he's positive too.

Carlene

2015-05-22 03:18:07 UTC

i think that she would have be so emotionally stable to be able to handle and process everything that her son has went through so her mental and emotional wellbeing would enhance and also her spiritual, just being there for him and with him during his illness, watching everything and being his support system her spiritual wellbeing would increase. Seeing him have so much willpower and positive attitude to beat this she would want to hold the same amount of determination as well, she would know just by her son to never take anything for granted and just love life + don't let anything hold you back

ilea

2015-05-22 03:40:24 UTC

i think that his mum is a strong person and it would of been hard watching her son being in pain and suffering when there is nothing she can do about it . i think that her well being is unstable because shes having to look after her son all the time but seeing how her sons positive attitude towards his illness is will make her want to have a more positive outcome about the situation .

Olivia

2015-05-23 05:03:55 UTC

I would expect his mum to come across as mental and emotionally stable because of everything she has to do. her little boy has a condition that no body wants and as a parent she would have to be strong so that she can help her boy over come the challenges he is facing. it seems to be very difficult for her to cope with this and she spend all her time taking care of her child which might make her social well-being a little unstable. she much have a lot of family helping her out which would make her spiritual well-being go up. she would be thankful for or the help she gets and i would hope that they could find a cure for her son.

jesse S

2015-05-24 06:02:21 UTC

I think that his mum must have to be one of the strongest people, her well being and strength must be incredible to be able to see her son go through so much pain and and agony day after day. her little son has one of the scariest and rare diseases in the world I feel for him to be able to go day after day in pain, but still staying strong and having a smile on his face.

Considering he went to prison for a good number of years, it would seem like he's come away from it a different person. He is willing to talk about his past and his feelings and the changes he is going to make. He seems like an honest and genuine person who has learnt from his mistakes.

jenelle

Minnesota

2015-05-31 23:17:50 UTC

It's horrible, been given a sentence for something you hadn't even done. All those years, just gone, stripped from him and unable to be given back, years of happiness that were never able to exist.

jesse.s

2015-06-01 10:49:54 UTC

it would be horrible to be locked up for 20 odd years for something you didn't do and to be called a rapist and murderer when you didnt even do this bad and disgusting crime so he should be shown respect because he was not the murderer and shouldnt have done the time for something that someone else done.

EMILY- QUESTION FOR THIS WEEK

2015-06-07 03:43:58 UTC

Thoughts on the whole Caitlyn Jenner news. Should she be getting as much attention as she is at the moment when there are other transgenders out there? Share your opinions/thoughts.

Erin

2015-06-07 03:52:51 UTC

my thoughts are that shes actuly really brave to be doing this it would take alot to come out like this expesily with how famous she is. but its good that she doing this and showing people it is okay and its not wrong to be who you are

Carlene I think its so great that she has come out as caitlyn Jenner! I can just imagine how great she would feel being who she believes she truely is, so comfortable in her own skin. It raises awareness for other transgenders and may help them coming out, but not only to other transgender but gays, etc. I think that by having a celebrity do this it really is getting everyone aware of these sort of deals that people go through and the struggles that also comes with it. Although saying this, there has been so much commotion going on that this is the only thing that everyone has been talking about and not bigger issues. I think that people should just move on and be more open minded and accepting, then the world would just be a better place for everybody

Hanna

2015-06-08 22:37:35 UTC

I think it is absolutely amazing what Caitlyn has done, she has not only opened the door to so many more opportunities for herself, but for so many confused scared transgenders out there, she has willingly done this to help others out there from what she was afraid of when she was a a young boy stuck in a males body, and I would like to think that it would encourage many other confused teens/kids/adults to not be afraid to be themselfs

For Caitlyn to finally start identifying as the gender she has always been, it really does warm my heart - it was hard for me to start accepting myself and the fact that I wasn't cisgender, too, so for her to finally reveal herself to the world is mind-blowing to me!! And I understand, that you'd think the media should not just focus on just her, but please remember - cisgendered people have a 1 in 18,000 chance of being murdered. Transgender people are 1 in 12, with 1 in 4 if you are a trans-woman. ANY POSITIVE PUBLICITY TOWARDS THOSE WHO AREN'T CISGENDER SHOULD LITERALLY BE PLAYED OVER AND OVER, UNTIL WE DON'T JUST RECOGNIZE THEM FOR THEIR GENDER, BUT TREAT THEM EXACTLY THE SAME AS WE WOULD TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE ELSE. Also, by saying that we shouldn't all focus on Caitlyn, can you name any other transgendered person who could've gone in her place? Can you, at all? What about Leelah Alcorn, Laverne Cox, Carmen Carrera, Jamison Green, B. Scott? Before you say that we shouldn't focus on her, please either know, learn or research about others that should be getting attention from media instead, thanks.
