Changes Among Boys and Girls During Adolescence Stage

As you grow up, you will experience many changes taking place in your
body. What are these changes? Write it down.

Puberty (say: PYOO-ber-tee) is the name for the time when your body begins to
develop and change as you move from kid to adult. We're talking about stuff like girls
developing breasts and boys starting to look more like men. During puberty, your
body will grow faster than at any other time in your life, except for when you were a
baby.

Puberty starts when changes in your child’s brain cause sex hormones to start
being released in girls’ ovaries and boys’ testes. This usually happens around 10-11 years
for girls and around 11-13 years for boys. But it’s normal for the start of puberty to range
from 8-13 years in girls and 9-14 years in boys. Every child is different. There’s no way of
knowing exactly when your child will start puberty. Early changes in your child’s
brain and hormone levels can’t be seen from the outside, so it’s easy to think that
puberty hasn’t started. Puberty can be completed in about 18 months, or it can take
up to five years. This range is also completely normal.

| Sir Neil Mallen

Puberty Among Girls

First signs of puberty in girls

The first sign of puberty in girls is usually that their

breasts begin to develop. It's normal for breast buds to
sometimes be very tender or for one breast to start to
develop several months before the other one. Pubic hair
also starts to grow, and some girls may notice more hair
on their legs and arms.

Later signs of puberty in girls

After a year or so of puberty beginning, and for the

next couple of years:
 girls' breasts continue to grow and become fuller
around 2 years after beginning puberty
 girls usually have their first period pubic hair
becomes coarser and curlier
 underarm hair begins to grow – some girls also have hair in other parts of their
body, such as their top lip, and this is completely normal
 girls start to sweat more
 girls often get acne – a skin condition that shows up as different types of spots,
including whiteheads, blackheads and pus-filled spots called pustules
 girls have a white vaginal discharge
 girls go through a growth spurt – from the time their periods start, girls grow 5 to
7.5cm (2 to 3 inches) annually over the next year or two, then reach their adult
height
 most girls gain weight (which is normal) as their body shape changes – girls
develop more body fat along their upper arms, thighs and upper back; their hips
grow rounder and their waist gets narrower

Puberty Among Boys

First signs of puberty in boys

The first sign of puberty in boys is usually that their testicles get bigger and the
scrotum begins to thin and redden, pubic hair also starts to appear at the base of the
penis.

Later signs of puberty in boys

After a year or so of puberty starting, and for the next couple of years:

| Sir Neil Mallen

  the penis and testicles grow and starts to produce sperm
 pubic hair becomes thicker and curlier
 underarm hair starts to grow
 boys start to sweat more
 breasts can swell slightly temporarily – this is normal and not
the same as "man-boobs"
 boys may have "wet dreams" (involuntary ejaculations of
semen as they sleep)
 their voice "breaks" and gets permanently deeper – for a
while, a boy might find his voice goes very deep one minute
and very high the next
 boys often develop acne – a skin condition that shows up as
different types of spots, including whiteheads, blackheads and
pus-filled spots called pustules
 boys go through a growth spurt and become taller by an
average of 7 to 8cms, or around 3 inches a year, and more
muscular
 genitals look like an adult's and pubic hair has spread to the inner thighs
 facial hair begins to grow and boys may start shaving

Grade 6 (Health) Module (Week 2)

Objective: Describes personal health issues and concerns (H6PH-Iab-18)

Health Issues and Concerns at Puberty Stage

During puberty stage, adolescents begin to transition from childhood

to adulthood. Issues of independence, identity, sexuality, and relationships define this
developmental stage. Mental health problems, such as mood disorders, anxiety
disorders, and thought disorders as well as psychosocial disorders, may develop or first
become apparent during adolescence. Suicide is a major cause of death for this age
group. Other causes of death include accidents, unintentional injuries, and homicide.

Look at the pictures below. What are their differences? Are there any issues
regarding on their health? Physical appearance?

Boys and girls who develop too early or too late may get teased and have
body image concerns. Some studies show that boys who mature earlier tend to
be more popular and independent, but are also at a greater risk for early sexual
activity and substance use. Early developing girls may face increased bullying,
which can contribute to being self-conscious and put them at higher risk for
depression and substance abuse.

Let’s have some scenarios. This happens at home or everywhere.

Abby loves to eat. She is fond of eating sweets like

candies, doughnut and chocolates. She doesn’t like fruits
and vegetables. She eats a lot but she never exercise. What
health issue or concern is Abby facing in?

| Sir Neil Mallen

 On this situation, Abby may experience overweight. Yes, she loves to eat,
however fats and calories contained on the food she ate cannot be process because
she lacks of exercise. Fats and other carbohydrates in her body cannot be processed
and broken down into useful substances. Exercise would be her best ally to be healthy
and be physically fit.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alfred, a grade six pupil eats candies and sweets. He

regularly ate sweets but doesn’t want to brush his teeth.
Whenever his mother told him to brush his teeth he refuses to
do it. What health issue will he experience?

In the above scenario, he will have cavities. He thinks that when he eats and
swallows the food it ends there, but no, sugars and other starches from the food he ate
are left on his teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth turn into acids which form plaque.
When the plaques dissolve, it then turns into acid thus making holes in the teeth called
cavities.

Grade 6 (Health) Module (Week 3)

Objective: Demonstrates self-management skills (H6PH-Iab-19)

Self-Management Skills

What will you do to make you healthy and avoid health issues and
concerns? Use the diagram below.
Self Managment Kills

Self-management means being able to manage the daily tasks to live well
with one or more chronic conditions. It means having the skills and confidence to
take charge of your medical needs, your everyday roles and responsibilities, and
your emotions. You are able to live a healthy life with your chronic health condition.

Self-Management Skills

Children at your age range are gaining many new skills,

and you feel more independent. They are curious of
everything around them and want to explore with
themselves.

Nowadays, children believe only on what they see and

feel. They only believe on what they wish for or expect. They
don’t mind on the consequences (problem) that might happened
for being out of control of their actions.

Grade 6 (Health) Module (Week 4)

Objective: Explains the importance of undergoing health appraisal procedures (H6PH-

Id-f-21)

Health Appraisal Procedures

Look at the pictures below. Have you experience some of this?

Have you ever noticed that whenever you go to the clinic, doctors and
nurses measure your height and your weight? Sometimes there are other tests that they
do which may include your eyes, your ears, and your mouth. In schools, your school
nurse checks your nutritional status as well, that’s why they visit your class and records
your nutritional information. These activities that you undergo is called health appraisal
procedure.

Health appraisal is a series of procedures to assess or

determine the health status of students. The health status
of the student is determined through the use of teacher’s
observation, screening test, health histories, and
medical, dental, and psychological evaluations.

The following health components are part of your school health appraisal.

1. Health history – your school will keep record of your history like
immunizations, childhood illness, allergies, previous
hospitalization, medications used, significant accident or
injuries, surgery, and chronic illness.

| Sir Neil Mallen

 2. Record of your family history – this includes the age and general health of parents
and siblings. In addition, the education level of parents, history of family disease
and physical environment will be recorded too.
3. Current Status – it includes your dental, family medical problems, health problems
or allergies and behavior.
4. Screening Procedure - these includes the following;

Vision Testing - Vision test is done using the

Snellen Chart twice a year also just like the
height and weight taking.

Hearing Test- the hearing test is important to find out ones

hearing ability. The audiometer is an accurate instrument to test
the hearing ability of an individual. Since not all schools have this
instrument, a whisper and watch can be
used. A quiet room is important in
administering this test.

Height and weight – is being monitored during

puberty to know the growth of a child and also to
get to its BMI to describe the body’s condition

Blood pressure test measures

the pressure in your arteries as your heart
pumps. You might have a blood pressure test as a part of a
routine doctor's appointment or as a screening for high blood
pressure (hypertension).

Urine tests - is an examination of urine for certain

physical properties, solutes, cells, casts, crystals,
organisms, or particulate matter, and mainly serves for
medical diagnosis.

Monitoring one’s health is your responsibility. To do this you have to start with your
health status. It is very important to know your health status. If it is good, you should know
how to maintain it. If it is not, you should know how to improve it. Regular health
screening and medical check- up can help you take necessary actions to immediately
correct anything wrong with your health.

Grade 6 (Health) Module (Week 5)

Objective: Regularly undergoes health appraisal procedures (H6PH-Id-f-22)

Regular Participation in Health Appraisal Procedure

How often do we undergo health appraisal procedures?

Why is there a need to undergo these procedures?

Health appraisal of school-age children can take many forms and be

performed for many purposes. Usually, the health appraisal is thought of as similar with
the physical examination, but the term should be used also to include health history,
vision and hearing screening tests, laboratory tests, diagnostic procedures such as chest
x-ray. The general purpose of health appraisal is health promotion, accomplished
usually through detection of disease in early stages or to prevent health problems.

Here are some of the health appraisal procedure that you may undergo;

HEIGHT and WEIGHT MEASUREMENT- is important when monitoring an infant or child’s

health. It is used to calculate your body mass index, or BMI, a measure of healthy versus
unhealthy weight. They are also important when tracking a child’s growth.

BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION- Breast self-examination helps doctor check that everything

is normal. Doctors don’t usually start doing breast exams until a girl
is in her 20s.During breast exam a doctor or nurse practitioner will feel a woman’s

HEARING TEST - A hearing (audiometric) test is part of an ear exam that tests how well a
person is able to hear. It is done by measuring how well sound can reach the brain.

VISION SCREENING- is an efficient and cost –effective method to identify children with
visual impairment or eye conditions that are likely to lead to vision loss so that a referral
can be made to an appropriate eye care professional for further evaluations and
treatment.

SCOLIOSIS TEST- This is a simple screening test that can detect potential problems. If you
notice any unevenness, you should contact your doctor for an exam. Using a
scoliometer can help determine the severity of the curve. Scoliosis is usually confirmed
by taking X-ray of the entire spine looking from front to back.

Grade 6 (Health) Module (Week 6)

Objective: Identifies community health resources and facilities that maybe utilized to
address a variety of personal health issues and concerns (H6PH-Igh-23)

School and Community Health Resources

Health-care facilities are hospitals, primary health-care centers, isolation

camps, burn patient units, feeding centers and others. In an emergency situations,
health-care facilities are often faced with an exceptionally high number of patients,
some of whom may require specific medical care.

Nowadays, as we faced this dangerous Covid 19 pandemic that brought

chaos, fear, confusion and affected our global economy most especially to the health
and safety of every human being worldwide we owe to someone who unselfishly work
devotedly for the welfare of everybody. Have you ever wondered who are these
people risking their lives in protecting the safety of our health?
Look at the pictures below. How do they risk their own lives just to protect
us?

______________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________.

There are many different types of community health services some of this are;

School health service refers to need based comprehensive services rendered to

pupils, teachers and other personnel in the
school to promote, protect their health,
prevent and control disease and maintain their
health.
School health services may include
nutritional counseling, mental and health
counselling, deworming and dental services

| Sir Neil Mallen

that were given by the school nurse to provide and secure the safety and health of
the pupils inside the school.

Community health services provides preventative and health

improvement services. In the community,
often with partners from local government
and the third sector. It encourages, support
and empower residents to be healthy, build
capacity for self-sufficiency and improve the
health and well-being of the community.
Community health services include
communicable disease control and prevention, family health service, information
system, dental health and medical nursing services to ensure a healthy and disease free
community.
Many people don’t think twice about these facilities unless they need them. But
healthcare is a hot career destination for many, and it’s good to know more about the
facilities you may end up working in if you choose to pursue a healthcare career.
