解剖学

你可能知道你身体部位的所有愚蠢的名字, but it’s also good to know the medically accurate terms for your genitals. This is important so you can effectively communicate with a health care provider about your body or if you need to report abuse. Becoming familiar with this terminology also increases your ability to set appropriate physical and emotional boundaries with 家庭, 朋友和伙伴.

友谊,约会和青少年暴力

友谊

好朋友可以帮助你感到勇敢和自信. They are like a personal support group that can create a sense of belonging and safety.  It’s important to choose 朋友 who are positive, accepting and supportive.

As you get older, some of your 朋友hips will start to change, and some may grow deeper. You might also begin to know many more people, although not all of them will be your close 朋友. 同伴压力在友谊中扮演着重要的角色. If someone is vulnerable to peer pressure, the relationship is not balanced. Remember that you have the right and duty to stand up for what you believe is right. 如果你不同意,你有说“不”的自由.

约会

The key to a healthy relationship is to make sure that both parties are happy and that they support and care for each other. Getting into a relationship and making sure that it’s healthy takes some serious work. And that means you’re on point with communication, trust and respect. The best 的关系 are built on trust, communication and honesty. Don’t expect your partner to read your mind—if you want something, you have to talk about it. 爱意味着尊重你的伴侣,因为他们是谁, 不要把你所有的时间都花在试图改变他们上.

青少年暴力

Love should never hurt, but statistics show 1 in 3 teens are the victim of teen dating violence. 青少年约会暴力对男女都有影响, 暴力造成的破坏会产生深远的影响. 这些后果会伴随受害者一生. Teens that experience teen dating violence have higher rates of experiencing intimate partner violence as adults. 如果你的伴侣强迫你做任何事, 尤其是性方面的东西, 那么他们就不重视你的安全或你的感受. 说出来, 说出来, 如果你知道有人可能处于不健康的关系中, 对一个值得信任的成年人说些什么.

性倾向与性别认同

One of the passages of adolescence is the development and understanding of sexuality. 这包括了解你的身体, 性别认同, 性取向和性行为的价值观. 在青春期,许多青少年开始探索他们的性取向. 

对于所有的青少年来说,这是一个具有挑战性的转变. 但对于那些质疑自己性取向的青少年来说, 或者认为自己是女同性恋者, 同性恋, 双性恋, 跨性别或酷儿(LGBTQ), 这会是一种很孤独的感觉, 困难和威胁的转变. 

It can also be a difficult time for families, who may have fears and questions of their own. It is crucial for you to get support and understanding from your 朋友, 家庭 and other adults when you have questions about sexual orientation and 性别认同.
