Most people who vape are adolescences. The Australian population aged 14+ years contained over 3.5 million smokers and/or vapers. (11.8% of the population) outnumbering current vapers (8.9%). But there are more vapers than smokers under the age of 35.

2. Statistics Worldwide

The first vape was made in china, and it spread over the world. Big world company tobacco has used over one million dollars over vaping and they have big influences onto high school kids. There are over 8,000 flavours of vapes.

Nicotine exposure during the teenage years can harm brain development, which continues until about age 25. It can impact learning, memory, attention, and increase risk for future addiction to other drugs.

Reflect on ONE of the games we played in class.
How is this game like life? In what sort of situations do you sometimes feel that you have to ‘follow the leader’?
When is this useful? When can this cause distress or harm?

Isabella N - SAFE

isabellang6_1 — 2023-10-18 00:19:23 UTC

Safe meaning to me is protecting somebody or feeling protected and not being into danger or harm. Doing something safe is not getting yourself exposed in risk and following the law.

Being safe or doing something safe feels good and relieving because you don't need to feel stressed or worried.
It sounds "yes" "okay" "no problem "thank you" and people encouraging others to make the right choice.
It looks like smiling and laughing around with good communication and having a respectful relationship.

Isabella N - Changes

isabellang6_1 — 2023-10-18 01:19:19 UTC

One of the biggest changes I have been through: Transitioning to a high school.

Hopes: That a can create a strong friendship groups and relationships with people.
Join after high school sports and activities
Being able to socialize with other people in other classes.

Fears: missing the bus to school and getting to school late.
Being stressed and overwhelmed over school homework and activities.
Stepping out my comfort zone to create friends.

Coping strategies:
1) Waking up on time and sleeping on time to catch the bus.
2) Taking slow steps one at a time out of my comfort bubble. Become friends with one person and close to them.
3) Staying organized for school every night and following a homework schedule

Leading and following - Isabella N

isabellang6_1 — 2023-10-22 22:34:40 UTC

One of the games that we played during class was when one person stepped outside and there one one leader doing actions and everybody was followers. The person who stepped outside had three chances to guess who was the leader.

This is like social media when somebody
starts a trend they get clout and people do the same trend as well and it gets all around social media, and people try to follow the original. This is not really useful but it is fun to hop on new trends, but the trends may effect your mental health and mindset.
It can cause harm depending on what the trend is about and what the trend is doing.

Energy Drinks - Isabella

isabellang6_1 — 2023-10-23 01:53:46 UTC

After learning about the causes and side effects about energy drinks, I have changed my decision to not casually drink energy drinks only when I have late nights. This is because there are still multiple of other ways to energize yourself and half of energy drinks are full of sugar and the other is caffeine. Energy drinks contains chemicals that can cause your brain to change. On a average, energy drinks contain 170mg of caffeine. This amount of caffeine can greatly increase your alertness and can significantly increase your heart rate. This causes more chances to have heart attacks. One might not do a lot by after drinking more you will get adicticted

To stop adolescence drinking too many cans as day we can increase the price of the drinks, keep a healthy sleep cycle, and consume your daily fruits and vegs. Consuming your daily fruits and vegs can gain your energy and having a good sleep cycle will make you less tired.
Shops should take energy drinks out of the miny fridges while people are checking out as it will reduce people buying them.

Alcohol

isabellang6_1 — 2023-11-01 12:54:06 UTC

I used to think that alcohol wouldn't be a long term cause and that all would happen is when you drink alcohol there will be a hangover after and you would vomit. But there is much more that would happen.

After this lesson I have learnt alcohol have many effects to the body that I was not aware of. It can really negatively affect their brain and the way they think, meaning that they are more likely to end up in violent situations. It also causes high blood pressure and can even cause death. More than 60% age between 12-16 have consumed alcohol, which is underage drinking.

Now I think when you drink you have to be extremely careful of how much your consuming and you have to realise the after effect.

Do you really want to go through all of that? Risk it that bad? Drinking can be really scary and dangerous, but it can be fun at the same time.
