Sex education should be taught at nation's public schools. It should be taught so pre-teen and teenagers can understand what it means and/or consequences that can become of having sex. For students to be given the right education about sexual intercourse can lead to better decisions and safer ones as well. I think they should teach kids to be abstinence but also teach the teens that if they are going to have sex be protected. Not all teens are going to be pure but there can be facts that can lead them to be more protected for themselves and thier partners. Teaching students about diseases and infections can also be an eye opener to teens having sex, it is very crucial to bring those subjects in as well, not to scare them but to be more careful and to pick their partners carefully.

I would rate my preventive practices around normal. I know I’m not perfect but I also know I can do a whole lot better with my choices. I can improve my health by not going out to eat junk food and cook actual healthy meals. I can start exercising more like I used to and really enforced exercise in my life.

Encouraging the youth would be easy by showing emotional videos and giving them reminders like the WWJD bracelets and of course it would be a different slogan. The adolescence that actually could be touched mentally would benefit from seeing what they might turn into. Health classes outside of school could help as well and to raise children’s self-esteem.  If there were high statistics the local news could cover a story on health.

I know there is a lot of suffering in the world but I never thought the statistics in the United States would be this high. The most concerning views that I saw were that women are more prone to having so many health issues compared to men. An example would be "Women had higher rates of postoperative blood clots and lower rates of postoperative septicemia then men." (Women's Health Care in the United States, Gender) Depending on the race as well, some were more susceptible to having both or one of these complications after their surgeries.



I believe that access to healthcare is a right and a privilege. The situations of patients who go in to an emergency room or a hospital really depend. Seeing people giving birth, having a heart attack, getting into horrible accident, and the list goes on and are notorious reasons to go to a hospital. But when people go to the hospital to live there or literally just get drunk to be taken care of is horrible on all levels. When I was in high school a patient who in fact was drunk made a huge scene, and distracted the nurses from seeing a suicidal patient leave the hospital. I was the only one who saw her leave because of the drunken man.



Health care is steadily progressing but the way I feel about it is that Health care should be so much better. We are in a time period where people are doing so much research that turning left and right someone is inventing something or figuring out how to utilize materials around them. They spend millions of dollars trying to figure out how they can save more lives but in the end the researchers can't use them.

There are so many concerns about health issues. I am most concerned about heart attacks, asthma, and breast cancer. These health issues concerns me because they have been a part of my life. My father was taken away from me unexpectedly by a heart attack, my sister has asthma, and my future mother in law had breast cancer.


I interviewed my sister and her concern about health was also asthma because she has a child. Every week she will have a asthma attack and unfortunately it’s very frequent. She gets worried it might take her away from raising her daughter and living the life has right now.

Also I interviewed one of my friends and she was concerned about cancer. Her aunt had cancer and went through chemotherapy. She was in so much pain and agony that it was unbearable to go through seeing that process.
