Factors that contribute to teen pregnancy vs. abstinence Teen Pregnancy: –Ignorance –Minimal communication about birth control –Guilt related to sexual activity –Alcohol use –Mass media norms of unprotected promiscuity Teen abstinence –High intelligence –Religious engagement –Father presence –Participation in service learning programs

8. Contraception & STDs The rate of contraceptive use is going up. U.S. teenagers have higher STD rates than teenagers in England, Canada, France and Sweden (Reason: more sexual partners and probably lower levels of condom use). Every year 1 of 4 sexually experienced teens gets an STD 68% of sexually active 15-17 year-olds don’t consider themselves to be at risk for STDs. 57% have not discussed STDs with a health care provider; 70% have never been tested.

11. Day 76: June 1 Objective: Students will discuss and interpret gender stereotypes. Warm-up: Define the word stereotype, in your own words. Please give a definition, not an example. Activities: –Undoing Gender Stereotypes –Gender Boxes –Sexual Attitudes Survey

12. Stereotypes Stereotype is an assumption or widely held belief about an entire group of people.

13. Stereotypes What are stereotypes of teens? Stereotypes are often hurtful and are never true for all members of a group.

14. U.S. society teaches us things about how men and women should act that aren’t always true and can actually harm people. It is not OK to make fun of guys for doing things that are thought of as “girl things,” or to make fun of girls for doing things that are thought of as “guy things.”

15. Gender Boxes 1.In your groups discuss the following boxes. 2.For each of the boxes and write down stereotypes and expectations for each gender.

17. Act Like a Man Answer these questions around the boxes. If this is how a guy is supposed to act, then what kinds of things is a guy called if he steps outside of this box? What names might people call him? For example, what if a guy gets hurt and starts to cry? What if he isn’t always interested in sex? What if he doesn’t want to be in charge or always make the decisions?

18. Act like a Lady Answer these questions around the boxes. If this is how a girl is supposed to act, then what kinds of things is a girl called if she steps outside of this box? What names might people call her? For example, what if a girl has had several boyfriends, or if people think she’s had sex with several guys? What if a girl is tough, or wants to make the decisions? What if a girl doesn’t want to go out with a guy who likes her, or if she shows that she feels confident in herself?

19. Sexual Attitudes Survey Answer the survey honestly. On the back answer the following question: Think about one stereotype we talked about today that comes from the media. Write 1 or 2 sentences explaining how the media creates or reinforces that stereotype. Tape both worksheets in your logbook when complete.

20. Day 77: June 2 Objective: Identify the various organs in the male and female reproductive system. Warm-up: What are 5 reasons it’s beneficial to abstain from sex while in high school? Activities: –Reproductive System Notes –Logbook Check

21. THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

22. Male Reproductive System Vocabulary Scrotum Testicles Epididymis Vas Deferens Seminal Vesicles Prostate Gland Cowper's Gland Urethra Penis

24. Did you know? The average man produces 100 million sperm per ejaculation? Fewer than 20 million could mean infertility issues.

25. Scrotum: A pouch of skin that hangs from the base of the penis. It holds the testicles at 2 to 3 degrees below normal body temperature. (Yes, the scrotum does shrink when it’s cold and during sexual arousal.) Testicles: Where sperm production takes place. The maturation process takes about 65 to 75 days.

26. Epididymis: Where the sperm become motile (learn to swim) and get pushed out by contractions into the vas deferens. Sperm can sit around and wait here for their number to be called as long as a month. Vas Deferens: Tubes (about 18 inches long) through which sperm is stored (sometimes for months) and is propelled

27. Seminal Vesicles: Glands that secrete a fluid that is alkaline to neutralize the natural acidic environment of the male urethra and the vagina. It also contains fructose to nourish the sperm on their journey. Seminal fluid makes up about 60 percent of semen.

28. Prostate Gland: Golf-ball shaped gland that adds additional fluid and enzymes to semen. This fluid gives semen its milky color and makes up about 25% of semen. Bulbourethral glands: Also called Cowper’s Glands. These secrete drops of clear alkaline fluid during sexual arousal. They also secrete mucus to lubricate the urethra and end of the penis. Prostate Bulbourethral Glands

29. Urethra: Passageway for both urine and semen. When a man is ready to ejaculate, a sphincter muscle at the base of the bladder closes Penis: external male sexual organ

30. More to Know Testicular Cancer: Most common cancer in males between 15 and 35 years old. It is important to do a testicular self-exam once a month. Vasectomy: A common sterilization procedure when couples are sure they don’t want any more children.

31. Possible Problems Epididymitis –Epididymitis is swelling (inflammation) of the epididymis, the tube that connects the testicle with the vas deferens. Torsion –Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord, which cuts off the blood supply to the testicle and surrounding structures within the scrotum.

32. Female Anatomy Ovaries Ovulation Fallopian tubes Uterus Endometrium Cervix Vagina Vulva

35. Did you know? At birth, girls have between 200,000 and 2 million ova. Only 40,000 remain at puberty, and only about 400 will mature and ovulate during a woman’s reproductive lifetime.

36. Ovaries: Two almond-shaped glands that store and mature ova (eggs) Ovulation: The time each month when a mature ovum is released from the ovary. Fallopian tubes: Also called uterine tubes or oviducts. The ovum travels through these tubes to get to the uterus. This is also where a successful sperm meets the egg. It takes about seven days until a fertilized ovum reaches the uterus.

39. Uterus: Shaped like an upside-down pear, the uterus is a muscular organ that is part of the sperm’s journey to the ovum and the place where the zygote attaches and develops. Also called the womb. Endometrium: The inner lining of the uterus, which has two layers. One layer is permanent. The other gets shed during menstruation. Cervix: The opening from the vagina into the uterus.

40. Vagina: A passageway for semen, menstrual flow and childbirth. It is about 4 inches long and lined with mucus membranes. Vulva: External female genitalia, including the mons pubis, clitoris (female erectile tissue), labia majora and labia minora.
