A woman can reduce her risk of assault by getting to a know a person. A woman meet the new person in a public area so that others can witness the behavior. A woman should contact pass relationship that the man has had if possible. A background check should be done on the person. Then a woman should take self defends classes to protect herself. A woman should have a permit to carry a gun to protect themselves. The woman should ask a lot of questions that will make the person really think.

A person that you know that is normally outgoing and very responsible gets addicted to drugs is just breaks my heart. My aunt four kids and had it all together until she met this man, and he took over her life with drugs. She abandoned the kids and left with the man because she was so addicted to drugs. She started prostituted herself just so she could get a hit. She was robbing people even her own family. Well. all the kids were split up with different relative. My aunt finally got caught and she was sentenced to jail. While she was in jail they were suppose to help her clean up her act. When she got out the first thing she did was go look for drugs, jail had did nothing for her. She was the same junk she was before she went, but she was just ten time worse. When a person has a problem with addiction jail is not the solution. These people need real help that will have them function in everyday society. A person going to jail for an addiction that will not be corrected there is wasting the taxpayers money that could be going towards educated our children. The prison that rehabilitate anyone it makes them worse.

I interviewed a woman who I will call Lisa. Lisa has ADHD. She said that during her childhood her parents would scold and punish her alot because she was not doing what she was told on a regular basis. The teachers would call and state that she was not paying attention, finishing her homework, or just distracted all day, she stated that she spend most of her elementary day losing her recess and doing homework during that time. Then, she stated a new fifth grade teacher came to her school. The teacher didn't call her parent or fuss at her for two weeks. The teacher set-up a meeting with Lisa parent's and the counselor. The teacher told them the finding and suggested she see a doctor. The doctor diagnosed her with ADHD. She was prescribed medication and her attention was outstanding to the point she could finish her homework. Now, Lisa is a teacher and she still has to take her medication. She thought she had grew out of being ADHD so she stopped taking the medication. She stated that she was just a mess. She went to work late, she was not focus enough to teach, she was unorganized, and it was to the point that she became depressed because she said she felt like she let herself down. She takes her medication everyday and she is very thankful for her fifth grade teacher for helping her.

What is exercise? Exercise to me is doing cardio and weight training within your target heart rate. A simple definition but not a simple thing to do. I joined a gym in February 2011 and have been there 3 times since I joined. I know that is just sad.  When my first challenge is that I work 16 hours every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then on top of that I have to be at work at 4am in the morning. The days that I am off I try to spend that time doing chores, homework, spending time with my kids, and sleeping. The closes real gym is in the next town which is only about 15 minutes away. The problems that I have with healthy diet choices is that the food that are good food you cost more. Even though everything in the grocery store is expensive now, but healthy food cost even more. The fast food restaurants now have all the special on meals and it is so convience for me. I know I show do better but eat right is just not something that happens over night. The process must gradually to not set yourself up for failure. I think exercise should be added into the process gradually also to not overwhelm a person that is just starting to get their weight under control.  I have made a commitment to myself that in August 2011 I will start weight watcher. I have did weight watcher and it is an awesome program it works if you stick with it, and the reason why I stop is because when I was nursing school was just eating everything to stay awake and study. I will also try to go to the gym at least once a week in the month of August just to start slow and increase gradually. I hope within five years I think with my goal and lose the weight that I want and have kept it off. I also want to feel good and be able to walk in one of the Susan G.Korman breast cancer walk. I just have to motivate myself to go forward and be successful.

I, interviewed a woman that does HRT. She stated that she takes the pills. She stated that at first wasn't going to do it because she didn't want to take the medication for the rest of her life. She also stated that people around her stated that if she started doing HRT that she would start growing hair everywhere like a wolf, her voice would get deeper, and her sex drive would be know longer. She stated what made her go to the doctor and talk with her agin was she was having hot flashes all the time and it was getting unbearable.The doctor told her if she would do the HRT that would help with the hot flashes. The doctor also told her that if she take the pills that it will help with the prevention of osteoporosis. She stated that she has been taking the medication for 9 months and she can tell the different with the hot flashes they are mild now. She also stated that all the things that her friends told her was so far not true. She stated that she feel great and that was probably the best decision that she has made in a long time.

BLOG 4 Prental Care

Prental care should be routine when a woman become pregnant. The woman is carrying another human being and so a regular check-up to make sure the baby is safe. The woman history needs to be checked to see if there is any potential problems that could be caught early. When I was pregnant with my second child everything was ok until toward the end of my pregnancy. My son didn't move for like two hours and I became very nervous because he was a very actived baby. I knew he was very actived and what to expect because I regular prental care. I ended up going to the hospital and being attending because he was under a lot of stress because I was stressed. My son ended up being born healthy with a C-section.
The insurance companies should be required to put maternity care on all women health plans. A woman can get pregnant at any given time and with the insurance no prental care care is given. I think it is easier for the insurance to pay for prental care to get a healthy child, then trying to pay for a sick child forever. When women don't get prental care for their babies during pregnancy they are risking the chance for healthy or not healthy baby. Sometime all the prental care can help the baby because their is already something the parents genies that the baby will be propone to have.

Blog#3 Sex Education in Public School

Sex Education is a huge topic when it come to adolescence. I think that sex education should be taught in public school as early as 5th grade. While a child is in the 5th grade the discussion should be focused on more about how their bodies are changing and abstinence. I think that should continue to be a big focus until about 7th grade. Once the child get to the 7th grade bodies are lot mature and they are really curious by now. In teaching sex education to a 7th grade and beyond the focus should be on abstinence but as adult we know that everyone will not practice abstinence. The education should be about showing children ways to talk to their parent to let them know that they are having sex or are thinking about. In order for the child to get comfortable to do that there should be a lot of scenario done in order for the child to practice. The next thing that should be talked about is the consequences of having sex. The students should go on field trip to seminar where people with STD are speaking out. They should be showed very graphic picture of what the disease look like if caught. They also need to see the medication to see how many pills need to be taken and the cost of the medication and the side effect that may have. The next thing is proper use of a birth control device. There should be a sex educator come and pick to the student in a professional manner and tell the properly way to use it device. The student should also be showed how teen pregnancy could ruin their future. They should be show things like being pregnant, to delivery, to getting up in the middle of the night, having to go to government appointment to get assistance to take care of their child such as WIC, food stamp, TANF, medicaid, housing. Then also showing how teen pregnant can affect their credit score by being on child support and no job. The credit score will be brought down to the point that when that person is older that will have a hard time getting anything.
