Dignity and human rights

Dignity refers to the value and importance each person has as a
member of the human race. In other words, each individual
should be valued and respected by others, because the basic
trait that makes one deserve fair and respectful treatment is
simply being human.
human rights refer to the collection of freedoms and privileges
that you, as a human being, should have to develop as a whole
person, without regard to race, nationality, gender, age, or any
other factor.

Sexuality and changes that come during adolesence

Adolescence is the stage that marks the end of childhood and
the beginning of adulthood, meaning that it is the time in
which you stop being a child and begin to experience things
that are new to you: you start to like new things, your body
changes, and you feel new emotions. Every adolescent
experiences a series of changes, but at a their own pace, which
depends on biological, social, and cultural factors.
Hormones play an important role in the physical, emotional,
and psychological changes you are experiencing. These are
substances that your body produces and that regulate
development and bodily functions.
Sexual attraction refers to the sexual interest that other people
can cause you to feel when you find them physically or
emotionally attractive.
People can decide if they wish to procreate as a result of a
sexual relationship, meaning to have children.
Human sexuality generally involves love and affection.
Another key component in human sexuality is eroticism.
Finally, human sexuality has many manifestations.
Safe sexual practices allow us to feel empowered, meaning that
we take charge of the way we experience our sexuality.
Self-care refers to all the things you can do to care for your own
well-being. Your parents and family still take care of you, but
you can now determine which things are good or bad for you.
