PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH
Q: DO GIRLS EJACULATE?
A:      Not really. A female will produce lubrication or moisture on the inside of her vagina when she is sexually aroused. There might be a little lubrication or a lot. If there is quite a bit of vaginal lubrication, some of the fluid may come out of the vagina, but it is not generally “ejaculated” from the vagina. 
         Some females, however, do seem to “ejaculate” during their orgasm. There are two glands located near the urinary opening. These are called the Skene’s glands. In some females, the Skene’s glands produce a fluid that will come out or be “ejaculated” during an orgasm.

Q: WHAT IS A CERVICAL CAP AND HOW WELL DOES IT PREVENT UNPLANNED PREGNANCY?
A: The cervical cap is small, thimble-shaped, and made of soft, pliable latex (or rubber) or of harder plastic. The cervical cap works like a suction cup that the female inserts into her vagina and snugly fits over her cervix. It is a smaller version of a diaphragm. It is up to 91% effective when used properly.
Q: WHAT ARE CANKER SORES?
A: Canker sores are a kind of ulcer in the mouth caused by:

·         injuries to the inside of the mouth, like when you bite the inside of your cheek or braces scrape your lip

·         things like stress, menstrual periods, and food allergies

·         an immune system reaction

Canker sores, which tend to run in families, usually pop up alone but sometimes show up in small clusters, causing pain or burning that starts to go away within several days.  Unlike cold sores, canker sores are not contagious, but they can cause pain or burning.  Canker sores go away on their own, but in the meantime, your doctor may recommend a special mouth rinse, lotion, or ointment to help relieve pain. You also may want to avoid foods and drinks that can irritate the open sore, such as acidic orange juice and tomatoes, and scratchy toast and pretzels.  If you have a lot of pain, the canker sores don’t improve within 2 weeks, or if you get canker sores frequently, talk to your doctor.

LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS

Q: AM I READY TO START DATING?
A: This check list will help you figure out if you are ready or not. So before you check out the dating scene, be sure to check off each of these items:
Q: I’M SUFFERING THROUGH A BREAK UP RIGHT NOW.  WHAT SHOULD I DO?
A:

·         Don’t act like I didn’t happen: Breakups hurt- that’s why the word starts with “break.” It’s okay to be upset.

·         Let it out: Turn your radio on and sing along at the top of your lungs to the most depressing songs you can find.

·         Talk a good friend’s ear off: Sharing your thoughts with another person can help you decompress.

·         Take care of yourself: Try to eat well, exercise, and get enough sleep. Your depression will only get worse if you wallow in bed all day.

·         Take it one day at a time: You won’t be over a break up in a day, or even two. But time does help and you will start to feel better.

Q: WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE PERSON I AM CHATTING WITH ON-LINE ASK ME SO SEND “SEXY” PICTURES OF MYSELF OR HE/SHE SENDS PICTURES OF NAKED PEOPLE TO ME?

A: This is a sign that that the person you have been communicating with can be very harmful to you. If this happens, you should stop all communication with this person. There is d t say goodbye or explain yourself—just ignore an block any future messages he/she sends, and do not send any type of communication back.

ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS

Q: WILL TRYING A DRUG ONCE HURT ME?
A: Yes. Drugs cause the brain to send wrong signals to the body.  A person could stop breathing, have a heart attack, or go into a coma after the first time using a drug.

 

Q: WHAT DO DATE RAPE DRUGS LOOK LIKE?

A:     Rohypnol is a pill that dissolves in liquids.  Some are small, round, and white.  Newer pills are oval and green-gray in color.  When put into a drink the dye in the pill makes clear drinks turn bright blue and dark drinks turn cloudy.  There are pills with no dye still available.  It may also be ground up into a powder.

GHB comes as a liquid with no odor or color, white powder, and pill.  The pill might give a drink a slightly salty taste.
Ketamine comes as a liquid and white powder.

Q: I’M HOOKED ON COFFEE AND ENERGY DRINKS.  HOW BAD IS CAFFEINE FOR ME?

A: Too much caffeine has the same effect on someone your age as it would have on an older person. Caffeine is a chemical compound similar to the hormone adrenaline. It stimulates the activity of the brain, heart, kidneys and intestines. Too much caffeine can make you feel or have:

·         Anxious

·         Irritable

·         Restless

·         Dizzy

·         Difficulty Concentrating

·         Upset Stomach

·         Headaches

·         Difficulty Sleeping

Consuming too much caffeine over time can lead to dependence. If you stop consuming it you could experience withdrawal symptoms such as sleepiness, headache, and feeling over tired. Like other drugs, regular use of caffeine can lead to tolerance. For example someone who is used to caffeine could drink several cups of coffee and feel little effect, whereas a person who is not a regular coffee drinker may feel “hyper” after one cup. You may also find that one cup in the morning does not do it anymore, and now you need two or three to get going.

 There has been a lot of research on coffee’s impact on health and disease. Researchers have looked at a wide variety of illness and how they are affected by different amounts caffeine intake. While none of the research has demonstrated any conclusive link, the information suggests that you should limit the amount of caffeine you consume.

While we are taking about research, studies show that American teenagers often do not get enough sleep. Drinking caffeine in the evening will contribute to the problem.

 By using soymilk instead of cream you may save on some calories but you are still consuming the same amount of caffeine. For the average person, one or two six-ounce cups of caffeine-containing coffee or twenty ounces of caffeinated soft drinks are considered reasonable. If you are way over this amount you will need to cut back gradually to avoid the withdrawal effects.

 You might find it interesting to know that a tiny cup of espresso, contrary to popular belief, contains less caffeine than the average cup of coffee. A single espresso has half to two-thirds the amount of caffeine as a regular cup of coffee.
