sex,+drugs+&+rock+'n'+roll

In sex,drugs and rock 'n' roll, we focused on issues that teenagers may come across in years to come. It included looking at safe sex, relationships, alcohol, drugs, and safe partying. We did a variety of fun activities to do with those topics including listening to various guest speakers talk about good relationships, contraception and drugs and their expirences with drugs which i found really interesting listening to their story. This really got me thinking about the effects of drugs on my body and how they are so bad for you and can ruin your life, this really opened me up to the real world.

One guest speaker, that really caught my attention was a man named Fab. His story was really touching in a way i felt bad for him. He was a heroin addict, although doing many different drugs before and using them from a young age. Fab was a famous boxer, one who would have gone to America, and who could have been paid for just training there, if heroin hadn't come in and destroyed his career, family, home and life. Fab started using heroin with his mates one time when they were offered it, they though, oh its just one time, it won't hurt. So they did it and really enjoyed themselves. Fab and his friends used more often than planned and just loved it and kept going, yes they were addicted. Heroin makes you so confident and makes you feel so good about yourself, so Fab used heroin before his fights to pump him up. The bad thing about it is, that you use it, you feel so good, and when it runs off, your yourself again, you end up not liking your normal self, you love the person you are when your using the heroin, so you crave for more. This was happening to Fab, and dramatically. Fab faced death 3 times, and that didn't stop him. One day, it clicked, after being in hospital the 3rd time, that this has to stop. And he knew it was going to be hard, really hard, but in the end, he persisted. It was a really big struggle for Fab and still is. He is Taking his Methadone every day and is on the road to recovery and becoming a better person, and having a different life, and being the person you are, not using the heroin.

Overall i really enjoyed Sex, Drugs and rock n roll, i really learned a lot in this module!

In this module, sex, drugs and rock n roll, relationships were a big part of feeling comfortable around your peers and asking questions in an environment where everyone is listening and that have good relationships with each other to feel comfortable. We really had to have good relationships with our peers and also our teachers. We discussed different issues including contraception, drugs, alcohol, sex, and safe partying and various topics. We learned lots of new things about those topics and about the opposite sex, and we wouldn't have if everyone didn't feel comfortable. Both students and teachers shared personal stories to do with our topic and everyone was really supportive towards each other. We learned about safe relationships, having a guest speaker come to the merc and give us some information and tips. So i think relationships are one of the most important things in this module for everyone to feel safe and happy.

In this module, it wasn't all about being with our peers and working in teams, but also about our own personal learning in the classroom. In sex, drugs and rock n roll we had to watch presentations, do hands on things and listen to speakers and movies and other people relevant to this module. I think i learned best by interacting and doing the activities, but also listening to the guest speakers, not just sitting in a boring classroom, discussing facts. And i think the guest speakers really sang out to me like fab, who's story i was really tuned into, and the lady talking all about contraception. In bytes, i think it's really good that we do hands on activities including putting sheets of different things including kissing, touching and having sex, from not intimate, to most intimate. I really enjoyed making questions for the boys and having them answer them, and them also doing the same for us. **__evaluation__** 1. The best part of this module was... listening to the guest speakers stories, and leaning new and different things! 2. this module could be improved by... going on some excursions, visiting people and places. 3. the skills and knowledge i gained from this module were... all different new things on that drugs, alcohol and all the topic things do to you 4. my advice for future students to both enjoy and succeed in this module would be to... listen to the guest speakers stories! evidence: work samples and photos.
