DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOL HEALTH PROGRAM
INTRODUCTION
School health programs can play a critical role in promoting healthy behaviours while inhancing academic performance. Many of the challenges facing young people today are different from those medications and vaccines have largely reduced the illnesses, disability, and death that common infectious diseases once caused among children (contres for Disease control and prevention 2000).
Today, the health of young people, and the adults they will become, is critically linked to the health-related behaviours they choose to adopt. Certain behavious that are often established during youth contribute markedly to today’s major causes of death. These behaviours include: using tobacco, eating unhealthy foods, using alcohol and other drugs, engaging in sexual behaviours that can result in HIV infection, other sexually transmitted diseases, and unintended pregnancies. Others are engaging in behaviours that can result in violence or intentional injuries, and not being physically active.

    Youth who engage in in one or more risky behaviors are labeled at-risk youth. Risky behaviors include school failure and early school dropout which can lead to underemployment, violence that can lead to criminal behavior, substance use that can lead to addiction and related health problems, and risky sexual behavior that can lead to sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies. Increased opportunity for engaging in risky behaviors can stem from individual characteristics of youth, the contexts they live in, the situations they encounter, and how these factors interact over time (Guerra & Bradshaw, 2008).…

    Healthy people 2020 objectives related to adolescent is to reduce use of cigarettes use by adolescents by 3.5 percent and the initiation of cigarette use by 2 percent. Another goal would be to reduce the number of adolescents that are exposed to cigarette smoke by 4.5 percent. Statistics from Healthy People 2020 show that in 2008 and 2009 19.5 percent of adolescents were current smokers, 6.3 percent had just begun smoking in the past 12 months, and 45.5 percent of adolescents who do not smoke were exposed to secondhand smoke (Healthy people 2020, 2017). We believe the overall goal for this population is to increase their knowledge of tobacco’s negative effects on their health. The purpose of education on this topic would be to reduce the number of people who use these products, which would increase the population's overall health by helping reduce secondhand smoke exposure.…

    Teens did not know their own bodies. There were little factual resources that teenagers can depend. Few choices left for them, teenagers were guided along high risk actions. Abstinence was the approved option by parents, as it teaches teens to not be sexually active but not on protection or STDS. Another path is exploration on their own means. Exploration was dangerous, because teenagers were unaware of the consequences. Both options plunged teens’ health into a abyss. Then around 1980s, media started to reach towards the topic of sexual activity in teenagers. Many teen movies brushed against the topic about sexual activity and gave more positive responses than usual. Now, there is a rapid increase in sexual activity amongst teens. Due to this rise of sexually active teens, sexual health programs in high schools need to be updated to accommodate this change. High schools need to avoid only abstinence learning and implemented new programs for…

    Students should not be able to attend school until they are immunized. For the best results, children should get their shots on a schedule. Immunizations are used in order to prevent students from catching a disease. If a student gets ill, this could result in them missing more school than usual and it could affect their attendance records. Once a student has missed too much school, they could end up with poor grades. After they have fallen behind, they could even fall behind an entire year or more. They also could be unable to participate in school activities. This could lead to the student losing an interest in school all together. It is proven that students’ grades are the best when they attend and participate at school.…

    Binge Drinking

    • 1107 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Many young people make binge drinking a habit due to them not having anything to do. Lots of young people buy cheap alcohol and drink to excess. They drink large amounts of alcohol to become extremely intoxicated over a short period of time. It is understood that student drinkers choose to engage in this behaviour as a means of fitting in with what is considered a social norm. The high levels of binge drinking among young people and the adverse consequences which includes increased risk of alcoholism as an adult and liver disease make binge drinking a major public health issue. Being associated with certain groups, especially in the college setting influences young adults and their decision to engage in binge drinking. Young people are confronted with social pressures involving binge drinking and if ignored, risk being isolated from others. The main cause of death among adolescents as a result of binge drinking is road traffic accidents; a third of all fatal road traffic accidents among 15-to 20-year-olds are associated with drinking alcohol. Violence and suicide are also common causes of death associated with binge drinking among adolescents. The suicide risk in adolescents is more than 4 times higher among binge drinkers than non-binge drinking adolescents. Binge drinking can also result in unwanted pregnancy in young people and a higher rate of sexually transmitted diseases. Female binge drinkers are three times more likely to be…
