Health Class (IB)

8th period I have health class. During health class, Ms. Pavletich teaches me and my classmates a lot of interesting and shocking things. In health class we have learned about STD's and STI's such as, Chlamydia, Herpes, Syphilis, etc... Ms. P has informed us on how to prevent these STD's and STI's. She also told us what to do if someone thinks they have it. The best way to prevent these diseases and illnesses is to be abstinent. If you cannot be abstinent, another alternate route you can take is to have protected sex, and to assure that you or your partner does not have an STD or an STI the two should both get tested together.. Learning about sex is a nice learning experience, but it is also very scary. One thing that is really scary is teen pregnancy. Can you imagine having a baby right now? Whenever i think i about this i get terrified. I think of what will happen if i was to get a girl pregnant. I am no where near ready to take care of baby. Hell, i cant even take care of myself. Then i think about my future, college will be 50 times harder. Also, babies are very expensive, i cant imagine me going to school, then working like two jobs to pay for my child. Having a baby can possibly mess up your life goals. This may not happen in every situation, but the thought its pretty scary itself.
