12. Healthy Habits for male teens:
• a. Practice abstinence from sex - this can
prevent infections with HIV and other STDs
b. Bathe or shower daily - keeping your
reproductive organs clean is important because
it will cut down possible infection and reduce
the risk of cancer of the penis.
c. Wear protective clothing for sports - Athletic
support is necessary for the penis and testes
and a cup can prevent injuries to those organs
additionally.
d. Perform TSE - Testicular self-examinations
are a way to check your own testicles for lumps
or tenderness.
e. Have regular medical checkups - a physician
can examine a male and answer any question
he has.
f. Get medical attention for signs of infection -
lumps, sores, rashes, or a discharge from the
penis require medical attention. These can be
symptoms of STDs.
19. • Testicular cancer can affect males of any age, but occurs
most often in males between the ages of 15 and 24.
With early detection, most testicular cancer is treatable
through surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.
• Prostate cancer-the prostate gland can become enlarged
as a result of an infection, a tumor, or age. Early
detection of prostate cancer through a digital rectal exam
performed by a physician increases survival rates.
20. • The American Cancer Society recommends that males perform a
self-exam for testicular cancer once a month as a means of early
detection. Although, TSE’s are a great way to detect testicular
cancer in it’s early stages, they will not detect any other form of
cancer.
• 1. Standing in front of a mirror, look for swelling. Examine each
testicle with both hands. Roll the testicle gently between the thumbs
and forefingers.
• 2. Cancerous lumps usually are found on the side of the testicle but
can appear on the front. Find the epididymis, the soft tube like
structure behind each testicle, so that you won’t mistake it for a lump.
• 3. Most lumps are not cancerous. If you do find a lump or experience
pain or swelling, however, consult a health care professional.
23. • 10 minutes
Think about your goals and plans for the future. How
would an unintended pregnancy for either yourself (girls) or
your girlfriend (boys) change your plans and goals? Write
at least 3 sentences.
24. • Changes that occur-growth spurt,
acne may appear, underarm hair
appears, sweat glands develop,

appears, external genitals
enlarge, long bone growth stops,
fat pads grow.

25. • a. Practice abstinence from sex - this can prevent infections with HIV
and other STDs and unplanned pregnancy.
• b. Bathe or shower daily - keeping your reproductive organs clean is
important. Also remember to change tampons or sanitary pads every
few hours during the menstrual period.
• c. Have regular medical exams – regular medical exams will
include a test (Pap smear) for cancerous cells on the cervix, as
well as a mammogram to test for breast cancer. Report any pain,
discharge, or other signs of infection to your health care provider as
soon as possible.

• Ovulation

min)
32. • Cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers- early sexual
activity and STDs such as human papillomavirus (HPV)
increase the risk of cervical cancer. Regular exams (ex.
Pap smears) are important for early detection and
treatment. The Food and Drug Administration has
approved a vaccine that prevents infection from four
strains of the HPV virus.
33. • Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the
second leading cause of death, after lung cancer, for
women in the United States. The American Cancer
Society recommends that females examine their breasts
once a month, right after their menstrual period, when
breasts are not tender. Early detection is critical for
successful treatment of breast cancer.
34. • 1. Lie down with a pillow under your right shoulder. Put your right arm
behind your head. Place the three middle finger pads of your left
hand on your right breast. Move your fingers in a circular motion,
pressing first with light, then medium, then firm pressure. Feel for any
lumps or thickening of the breast. Follow this process in an up-and-
down path over the breast. Be sure to check all of the breast tissue,
from the underarm edge to the middle of the chest bone, and from
the collarbone to ribs. Repeat, using your right hand on your left
breast.
• 2. Stand in front of a mirror with your hands pressed firmly on your
hips. Inspect your breasts for any changes in size, shape, or
appearance. Look for dimpling, rash, puckering or scaliness of the
skin or nipple, or discharge.
• 3. Next, raise your arms over your head (palm pressed together),
and look for changes.
• 4. Examine your underarms with your arms only slightly raised so
you can more easily feel these areas.
35. • Second half of boy/girl worksheet (10 minutes)
• Give correct answers and review
37. • 10 minutes
Think about your future goals and plans. How would an
STD affect you future plans and goals? At least three
sentences.
38. • How STDs spread (10 min)
• Tape a colored index card under five different desks in the
classroom. Don’t tell the students.
• Have the students all give high fives to three different
people. They will write down both the names of the
people they gave high fives to , and all the names that
those three people already have written on their own
papers.
• At the end of the activity, have them come back to their
desks and look under them. The five people with cards
under their desks have STDs but didn’t know it. Anyone
with those five peoples names on their own papers now
has an STD also.
39. Sexually transmitted diseases (also known as STDs — or STIs for
"sexually transmitted infections") are infectious diseases that spread
from person to person through intimate contact. STDs can affect guys
and girls of all ages and backgrounds who are having sex — it doesn't
matter if they're rich or poor.
Unfortunately, STDs have become common among teens. Because
teens are more at risk for getting some STDs, it's important to learn
what you can do to protect yourself. For example, avoiding sexual
contact before marriage can eliminate the risk of contracting an
STD.
STDs are more than just an embarrassment. They're a serious health
problem. If untreated, some STDs can cause permanent damage,
such as sterility (the inability to have a baby), pelvic inflammatory
disease, and even death (in the case of HIV/AIDS).
40. • STDs can be either bacterial or viral.
• Bacterial infections are cause by different bacteria
• Viral infections are caused by different viruses
• Major differences:
• Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics and cured.
• Viral infections cannot be cured. The symptoms can be
alleviated with treatment but the virus will never leave the body.
41. It is important to understand the risks and
consequences of STD’s because they are a
serious threat to health and well-being. If you are
having, or have had, sex at any time it is important
to be examined for infection by a doctor. This is
especially important because, many times, STD’s
are very difficult to detect- especially in
females. STDs can live inside a body for a long
time without the person exhibiting any symptoms,
so many people do not get the treatment they
need and suffer serious health problems as a
result.

44. • Waiting until they feel ready for the emotional and physical aspects of
sex
• Waiting until they find the right person
• Avoiding STDs
• Not feeling ready for the possibility of being a parent
• Losing their sexual partner through a break-up or death and wanting to
wait to have sex again
• Wanting to have fun without the pressures and concerns of sexual
involvement
• Pursuing other interests, such as sports or academics
• Moral or religious beliefs that teen abstinence is the best choice
• Good communication from parents who encourage teen abstinence
Over 2/3 of all teens who have had sex say they wish they had waited
until they were older.
45. • What are some benefits of abstinence?
• Each group come up with at least three and come write
them on the board.
46. • Avoiding sexually transmitted diseases
• Avoiding unplanned pregnancy
• Not getting a bad reputation
• Avoiding some of the emotional
consequences of teen sex, especially if the
relationship does not work out, including
feeling hurt, used, lonely, angry, or
depressed
• Better relationships; couples who wait to
have sex have healthier, more trusting
relationships, and, if they marry, are less
likely to divorce, and generally have better
sex lives than those who did not wait
• Teen girls who abstain from sex until they
are older, and limit sexual partners later in
life, are less likely to develop cervical cancer
or become infertile
• Unlike other forms of birth control,
abstinence costs nothing and has no side
effects
47. • Ask the students to mentally draw a line on the continuum
that they do not want to cross at this point in their lives. Tell
the stories to demonstrate the importance of “drawing the
line” early.
• In World War II some pilots participated in “tree topping” to
impress others with their flying skills. They would fly close
enough to break off the very tips of trees. This practice
became prohibited because of the number of planes that
ended up in the trees. A new safety rule was set in place so
that the minimum altitude at which a pilot could fly was well
above the trees.
• A company was interviewing truck drivers for hauling
precious cargo across a mountain pass. When asked about
a particularly hazardous curve on a steep cliff, one applicant
bragged, “I could take that corner going 60 miles per hour
while driving on the outside shoulder!” A second applicant
said, “I would gear down, and drive slowly and as close as
possible to the hill side of the road.” Which of the two
applicants would you hire to drive your precious cargo?
• Discuss rules that will help the students avoid crossing their
lines.
