Muscular tension-the muscles are in a semi-contracted state for a prolonged period of time.]]> 2022-03-10 09:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kaamielahdavids3/Bookmarks/wish/2087941378 Key issues/concepts cnrhen0031 https://padlet.com/kaamielahdavids3/Bookmarks/wish/2087966498 1. Overarching theme of a rite of passage-her ideas of sex might change between when she was in school to when she is now at varsity
2. She compared her growth to her brother's, and observed that she wasn't a big or muscular as him
3. She decided to study medicine because her parents wanted her to, not because she wanted to. This is evidenced by her questioning whether she made the right choice.
4. Peer pressure-her friends pressured her into being sexually irresponsible
5. Parents too controlling-this contributed to the overwhelming change, because she no has a major jump from little to lots of freedom, and she doesn't know what to do with this
6. Stress-has to adapt to lots of change in a short period of time
7. Identity crisis-does not know where to fit in
8. Change in water and food causes gastrointestinal disturbances
9. She is not able to exercise anymore and develops muscular tension and gains weight as a result
10. Self-esteem issues: she relies on relationships with other people for her happiness too much.]]> 2022-03-10 09:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kaamielahdavids3/Bookmarks/wish/2087966498 Case 2 highlighted version cnrhen0031 https://padlet.com/kaamielahdavids3/Bookmarks/wish/2088022084 Colour key:
Red: health-related
Green: social-related
Yellow: self-reflection and internal feelings and thoughts
Blue: parental and environmental
Pink: mistake, should be red]]> 2022-03-10 10:06:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kaamielahdavids3/Bookmarks/wish/2088022084 What we do know and what we don't know cnrhen0031 https://padlet.com/kaamielahdavids3/Bookmarks/wish/2088046896 What we don't know:

1. The medical issues she has: her gastrointestinal issues
2. Muscular tension
3. Growth rate in adolescence
4. Changes in puberty
5. Sexual responsibility and safety and relationships
6. Body shape and size during adolescence
7. Rite of passage
8. Pregnancy
9. We don't know how Grant is making her happier (relationships)
10.We don't know the exact age ranges at which boys and girls start puberty

What we do know:

1. Girls do reach puberty earlier than boys
2. Her weight gain is related to the lack of exercise, different diet and stress and puberty-puberty can cause weight gain (hormonal changes)
3. From 10 to 13, girls grow faster than boys, then from 14 onwards, boys grow faster than girls
4. Many students, when going from high school to university, have to adapt to many changes in the new lifestyle
5. Overbearing parenting hinders children's ability to develop independence, self-discipline, responsibility and decision-making skills. Once they are able to make decisions, they won't know how to make smart and good decisions.
6. Exercise helps to relieve stress
7. Having someone to turn to and trust can relieve stress

- "fact of being"

5.2. Identity achievement - goals and values of parents, culture, understand who they are
4 arenas: religious, political, vocational, sexual
Case: Parents goals play role in identity development = insecure identity

5.3. Identity statuses:
Role confusion - situation in which an adolescent do not know or care about identity
Foreclosure - adolescent adopts his/her parents society roles and values with no questioning or analysis
Moratoruim - adolescents choice to postpone identity achievement decisions
Identity achievement - individual gets to know who they are

  • Groups of friends (exclusively one sex/other)
  • Loose association of girls or boys group
  • Smaller mixed-sex group
  • Final peeling off of heterosexual couples
(Group has not finalised this question, follow up)

6.2. 
  • LGB individuals discover identity by internal processes = personal discovery
  • Difficult process (society negative views), conditioned by shame. 
  • Childhood teachings identify this development as a problem = negative
  • Development = delayed, takes a long time

  • Self-acceptance of not being heterosexual, considered as a 'deviant' by society. 

  • Explore and develop personal satisfaction, most identified with label ( best describes feelings)

  • Learn to embrace identity within supporting communities and heteronormative community. Exploration of community helps to let go of negative stereotypes attached to their identity.

6.3. Human development model:
Focusses on the view of sexual identity = personal experience that is unique to each individual.

Individual experience influenced by three main factors:
  1. Subjectivities and actions - individuals feel and explore their own sexual identity
  2. Interactive intimacies - influences from individual's relationships with family members
  3. Sociohistorical connections - influences from socio-norms and society in which the individual resides in.

Main purpose: Reject outdated view that identity is normatively achieved at a certain point in one's lifetime and stays that way. Development model suggest that personal sexual identity development is more plastic, constantly explore identity and can change their label to a different one to better describe themselves.

The perception that a person has about their body - can be positive or negative depending on the thoughts/ feelings that a person experiences.

    She didn’t develop as fast as her other peers in the sexual development realm or self-image.

    Doesn’t have good coping mechanisms. This leads to weigh gain as she does not play sport anymore.

    It wasn’t completely her decision to study medicine as she was pushed into the field by her parents.

    She could not handle the burst of freedom of choice that she experienced when she moved away from her controlling parents.

    She cannot find a balance as she overstudies and doesn’t have time for extracurricular activities. This is not sustainable, hence her weight gain.

    She is unable to treat her chronic anxiety.

    Sarah is constantly anxious

    She is too dependent on her Grant, her boyfriend. Thus, she lacks the ability to control her own happiness and regulate her own emotions.

    She is ignorant to her gastrointestinal and muscular tensional issues. She did not try to find a solution.

    She is not being perceptive of the weight gain which could pose life threatening dangers in the future. This is also affecting her poor self-image as she views herself as inferior.

    Her choice of moving to CT away from her support structure is questionable as she eventually lost her support.
