I realized that I felt older than I really was, that I had no energy for anything, and that I was wasting too much time on nothing. 108.health told me about yoga and Ayurveda and I think I'll try it. I hope it will be effective for improving your health. All the best!108.healthhttps://108.health/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-5906447898518079292013-05-22T07:01:25.908-07:002013-05-22T07:01:25.908-07:00it is a bit odd that they want to know how many pu...it is a bit odd that they want to know how many puffs of tobacco or weed you have ever had, or sips of booze, but sex is intercourse or nothing. Sex is arguably the riskiest behavior physically and emotionally that kids under driving age will engage in.<br /><br />concernedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-89159498544625302372013-05-22T06:56:41.677-07:002013-05-22T06:56:41.677-07:00I believe the intention is to understand the preva...<br /><br /> I believe the intention is to understand the prevalence of risky behaviors from a health standpoint, and not of the "slippery slope" variety, such as kissing and safer sexual activity. I understand there is a greater prevalence of acts such as anal sex with the current generation as it's perceived as safer (for risk of pregnancy) and also seen by some young women as preserving their virginity, whereas in fact it's a risky behavior for STD's. I wonder if this question was worded differently to include a range of risky sexual behaviors if the numbers would be higher. But I imagine in a survey given to kids, it would be difficult to delve into these finer points without causing some controversy with parents. <br /><br />forgotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-37549783078635872922013-05-22T00:20:14.777-07:002013-05-22T00:20:14.777-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-25756788675760077552013-05-21T19:55:54.930-07:002013-05-21T19:55:54.930-07:00Melissa - are there specifics for individual schoo...Melissa - are there specifics for individual schools?
