It might be your beliefs and values, your religion, prayer, meditation, mindfulness or yoga. Social health involves spending time with your family and friends, joining club, having hobbies and doing fun activities like playing in a football team or being in a band. Emotional (mental) health includes recognising your feelings, managing stress, having fun and knowing when and where to ask for help. Physical health Spiritual health Social health Emotional (mental) health Leading a healthy and balanced lifestyle means that: • You get enough exercise, eat healthily and avoid getting involved in things that can damage your health, such as drugs. You can talk to others about your worries and problems and not bottle them up until they cause stress and anxiety. • You make time for meeting your friends, having fun and enjoying your hobbies, as well as building in time for schoolwork and chores. You make sure you get enough sleep, rest, relaxation and find other ways to recharge. Did you know ?

Sexuality – What Does it Mean? You have already explored some of the ways in which you are changing physically, socially, psychologically and emotionally during adolescence. Sexual development is another natural part of growing up. During adolescence you will become more aware of your sexual identity and develop sexual feelings for other people. Sometimes, these feelings can be confusing and hard to understand. Understanding that they are a normal part of growing up will lay the foundations for healthy, safe decisions about sexual activity in adulthood. Coping with new feelings and learning about yourself can also be an exciting time. This unit helps you to: 1 Learn about aspects of human sexuality Become more aware of gender stereotyping in the world around us 3 Appreciate that sexual orientation and gender identity are part of what it means to be human 4 Explore ways of supporting someone who belongs to the LGBTQ+ community.

Student website Compare and Contrast 202 STRAND 4 – Emotional Wellbeing Understanding and Recognising Bullying It is important that you feel safe and happy in school. Some thin�s can a�ect this feelin� of safety. Bullying is one example of this. 203 UNIT 2 – Anti-Bullying Examples of Bullying Physical: Fighting, hitting, spitting, pinching, poking, tripping, pushing. Cyberbullying: Using information technology, like mobiles, laptops or tablets, to post hurtful information about someone online or to send nasty emails, texts or messages on social media websites like Snapchat or Twitter, or to upload embarrassing or damaging photos of them. Intimidation: Making people feel frightened, scared or uncomfortable by using threatening gestures, aggressive body language, tone of voice, facial expressions or ganging up on them. Name-calling: Making hurtful, humiliating insults and comments about someone. Social bullying:Isolating, excluding, ignoring, spreading rumours, passing notes, whispering, rolling eyes, mimicking, smirking behind someone’s back Damaging property: Breaking, stealing or hiding someone else’s property or defacing it including their clothes, schoolbag, homework, pencil case, books, mobile phone or their lunch. Identity-based: Name calling or violence against people based on disability or additional needs, gender, ethnicity, religion, sex, weight or any other aspect of a person’s identity. These categories of bullying are sometimes organised under four main types: physical, verbal, social and digital bullying. Sources of advertising In the list below tick the box for each type of advertising you are familiar with. In the blank spaces add others that you know about. Newspapers Magazines Billboards Bus shelters Television Radio Shopping bags Buses/Trains Logos on clothes Banners at sports events Sponsorship of games Cinema Others Video YouTube Product placement Instagram TicTok Twitter Email Google search Spotify Music videos Influencers Podcasts In-Game ads Others ?Advertisers target children because they are easier to get hooked on a product. Advertisers target children by using cartoon characters to promote their product which will make the child want the product. Advertisers also target children by having famous sports stars or actors to promote their products Did you know Young people are known to skip traditional TV ads. Advertisers know this so to they have come up with cleverer ways to market their products to young people. One of these marketing tools is product placement. Product placement is used in movies, TV shows, music videos and video games. It is a sneaky type of advertising because it incorporates the product into the script so the audience is not really aware that they are being manipulated. But of course they are! They unconsciously link the product with the glamour, excitement or image of the person or situation they are watching. In reality, an advertiser has paid large amounts of money for their product to be shown this way. Activity 10 Aw 134 STRAND 2 – Making Healthy Choices Some well-known movies are full of product placement. For example, Jurassic World placements include brands like Starbucks, Coco-Cola, Apple, Converse and Nike. Some products are shown up to 15 times. The James Bond movies are another example of product placement to glamorise alcohol and expensive cars. Do your own research and videos or video games. Managing advertising Think about the following questions carefully before you answer them. Activity 11 s b What skills or knowledge would help young people to manage the amount of advertising that they are bombarded with? 2 Where could you get these skills and information? One example of how I fell for an advertisement is Something I learned about advertising that I did not already know is Reflection 135 UNIT 2 – Unhealthy Products What is Health? In this unit we are going to look at what ‘being healthy’ means. To have good health doesn’t only mean that you are not ill. It also means that you are in a state of wellbeing (or being well) and feel good about yourself. This unit helps you to: Be aware of the importance of personal hygiene Understand what makes up a healthy diet 3 Know how to read and compare food labels 4 Appreciate the value of physical activity 5 Learn why sleep is important 6 Evaluate how your diet, physical activity, sleep/rest and hygiene can all contribute to your self-confidence, self-esteem and wellbeing Learning Intentions (Tickeachtopicoffas youcompleteit.) 82 HEALTHY CHOICES MAKING 2 STRAND UNIT BEING HEALTHY 1 Key Words Health – physical, social, mental Physical activity Vegetarian Vegan Carbohydrates Proteins Vitamins Minerals Fats Food Pyramid Eatwell guide Overall Health �et�s loo� at the di�erent types of health that the �H� tells us make up your total health: Physical health Physical health (or physical wellbeing) means having the energy and physical ability to get up every day and do what you need to do, like going to school. It also means getting enough sleep, eating well, feeling fi and being active. Ask yourself: Do get enough rest? Do eat the right �inds of foods� �o � feel well� �m � fit� Mental health Mental health includes how much you enjoy life and how good you are at coping with all the things that happen to you. Everyone has disappointments and things that don’t work out for them in their lives. Good mental health means you have the ability to cope with life’s ups and downs and any stress in your life. Another word for being able to do this is being resilient. Social health Social health is about how you get on with other people. Not everyone will be your friend, but you should be able to communicate, get along with people and be part of a community. Having good social health means you can make and keep friends, and those friends should make you feel good about yourself. Healthy relationships are based on respect, mutual trust and equality. ? Research by the National Institute of Ageing has linked social isolation and loneliness to higher risks for a number of physical and mental conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, a weakened immune system, anxiety, depression, confusion and memory problems, Alzheimer’s disease, and even death. Did you know Personal hygiene Personal hygiene means keeping your body clean. Good personal hygiene is important to your overall health. It reduces the spread of illness and infection. It can also increase your self-confidence and help you to make friends.’. • Physical health Mental health • Social health 83 UNIT – Being Healthy
