Teachers Notes The main goal of Health is to provide students with knowledge and promote the development of skills they need to create a balanced lifestyle and to carry that lifestyle through to adulthood. This book has been written in accordance with the current outcome statements and links to these for your State can be found on pages iii – v.

r o e t s Bo r e p ok u S

The activities provided in the series cover aspects of: • individual health; • human development; • safety issues; • human relationships; and • nutrition.

Many of the activities in this book are open-ended and provide students with an opportunity to voice their knowledge and opinions and to develop values. During discussions that arise from these activities, encourage students to develop critical thinking skills. Your responses to students’ statements are an important factor in developing these. In your responses, encourage students to analyse their statements by asking such things as ‘What could happen if you did that?’ or ‘Who else would be affected by that?’, rather than giving your opinion.

The community is generally united in their overall opinions and goals in relation to the education of young people. In the areas of Growth and Development and Drug Education, the form and timing of this education varies between different community groups based on a wide range of factors, mainly religion and community expectations. Activities in both these areas are provided in this series; however, the author recognises the rights of schools, teachers and parents to guide education according to their own priority. R.I.C.

Hormones Puberty starts when your brain sends messages to your body to start releasing hormones. Hormones are chemical substances that are produced in groups of cells called glands. Different hormones act on different parts of your body. Two of these hormones, oestrogen in girls and testosterone in boys, guide the body to grow into adults. These hormones cause physical changes, such as hair growing under arms and around genitals, sweating more and voice deepening. Many people

get pimples during puberty because the skin starts growing thicker and the glands under it produce more oil. These hormonal changes can also cause major mood changes. It is perfectly normal to feel up and down, sometimes for no reason at all, at this time. No two people are ever at the same stage during puberty and everyone changes at their own pace. There is no right or wrong way to look. We are all unique.

Skin Care If your body is in good shape, your skin will also be healthy. Exercise and diet affect how healthy your skin is. You need to take good care of your skin by cleaning it properly and avoiding sun damage. Pimples are a part of puberty for most teenagers. Hormones produce more oil which makes its way to the surface of the skin. There is not a lot you can do to control your hormones, but you can minimise skin problems.

Advertising Advertising in the media can often have a huge influence on the decisions we make about what to spend our money on. Advertisers use different approaches and images to entice people to buy their products and use their services.

You need to develop positive feelings about yourself and find a balance that suits your lifestyle. Some people have problems with their mental health that can be caused through different illnesses.

Feelings A feeling occurs when your body responds to something that is happening to you. We experience many different feelings and they can all have a big effect on us. Sometimes it might be difficult to work out why you may have a certain feeling, especially during puberty. You might feel irritated about something but you do not really know why. Always pay attention to your feelings because they can let you know what is good and bad for you.

Feeling Sad It would be terrific if we could wake up every day and feel wonderful all the time? Sad feelings can happen pretty often, though, to all of us. When you are sad, it can feel like the whole world is a mean and unfriendly place. You might feel like crying or just shutting yourself away somewhere alone.

Feeling sad every now and then is quite natural. There are lots of reasons why people feel sadness. It is important to recognise when sad feelings last a long time, though, as this can lead to depression, which is a serious problem.

Feel Good about Yourself Those who have a good self-esteem: • feel confident and secure; • are motivated; • have a positive image of themselves; • are able to plan and achieve their goals; and • feel valued and loved.

Taking Risks Remember back to Year 1 when you could not really read or write. When you were presented with the opportunity to read or write something, you probably ‘had a go’. You may not have known exactly what you were doing, but you still tried anyway. As we get older, taking risks and ‘having a go’ become a little more difficult for some people.

Those people with a healthy self-esteem often find it easier to take risks and move out of their ‘comfort zones’. This means they are able to experience new things without worrying about what may happen if they are not successful. Many people are reluctant to try new things and push themselves a little further to see what they are capable of achieving.
