In 8th Grade wellness we learn about several different topics. We start of the rotation learning about different types of drugs, what addiction is, refusal skills, and how to get someone help. After learning about drugs, students learn about self esteem, body image, and eating disorders. We then discuss we learn about relationships and abuse. Within this unit, we discuss types of relationships, gender identity, healthy vs unhealthy relationships, types of abuse, and how to help someone who is in an abusive relationship. Finally students learn about Sexually Transmitted Infections. We talk about what STI's are, how to treat them, and how to avoid them.
