 In extreme cases, self-pleasuring can actually fracture your dick and rupture your
arteries. Be careful out there.
2. Sending sexual threats or unwanted sexual images to other people
Images of individuals, taken with or without consent, are being distributed online as a
tactic of abuse by perpetrators with the intent to harass, impersonate, humiliate, and
cause harm. Many of these images are sexually explicit and are often posted and
shared online with identifying information of the individual, such as their full name,
address, phone number, and place of employment or school.
3. Forcing an object into their own or someone else's anus, vagina or mouth.
Sexual assault by penetration is when the attacker sexually penetrates the vagina or
anus of the victim without their consent.

How does teen avoid getting into such risky behaviors?

1. Comprehensive Sex Education: Equipping teens with comprehensive sex education
fosters informed decision-making, dispels myths, and promotes responsible sexual
behavior.
2. Open Communication: Open dialogue between parents and teens establishes trust,
enabling parents to provide guidance on sexual health and relationships.
3. Peer and Media Influence Awareness: Encouraging critical thinking about peer and
media influence empowers teens to resist societal pressures and make choices aligned
with their values.
4. Setting Boundaries: Teaching the importance of setting and respecting boundaries
cultivates healthy relationships built on consent and mutual respect.
5. Delaying Sexual Activity: Encouraging teens to delay sexual activity reinforces the
message that it's okay to wait until they feel emotionally and physically ready.
6. Knowledge of Contraception: Providing information on contraception and STI
prevention enables teens to make informed choices about their reproductive health.
7. Building Self-Esteem: Fostering positive self-esteem and body image helps teens
make decisions that prioritize their overall well-being.
8. Understanding the Consequences: Realistic discussions about the consequences of
risky behaviors promote awareness and encourage responsible decision-making.
9. Access to Healthcare: Ensuring access to healthcare services empowers teens to seek
confidential reproductive health care when needed.
10. Promoting Healthy Relationships: Emphasizing the importance of healthy
relationships encourages teens to prioritize communication, respect, and emotional
well-being in their interactions with others.
ACTIVITY 3: Lesson 9

COMMUNICATE: With 1, being the most descriptive to 5, being the least descriptive of
you, rank the five love languages according to:
1. How you express your love to others.
In expressing my love to others, I prioritize the five love languages in the following
order: foremost is spending quality time, as I believe it is crucial for building strong
connections; second is performing acts of service, as I strive to assist my family and
friends whenever possible. Third is conveying words of affirmation, recognizing their
authenticity and understanding their power to provide motivation during challenging
times. Fourth is the occasional act of giving gifts to express my affection. Lastly, I rarely
engage in the love language of touch, as it's not a habit I'm accustomed to. In terms of
receiving love from others, I appreciate spending quality time together the most,
followed by acts of service, words of affirmation, receiving gifts occasionally, and touch,
which I am not particularly used to.

2. How you want to receive others love.

In terms of receiving love from others, my preference aligns with the five love
languages in the following order: foremost is spending quality time, as even brief
moments dedicated to checking in or updating mean a lot to me. Following closely is
acts of service, especially when I need guidance or assistance in coping with
challenges. Words of affirmation hold significant value, particularly during times
when negative thoughts weigh on my mind, and the uplifting words from my best
friend make a meaningful impact. Although receiving gifts is not a necessity, the
thoughtfulness of my best friend in considering my preferences is truly appreciated.
Lastly, touch is my least preferred love language, not due to overreaction but simply
because I'm not accustomed to it and find discomfort in physical contact from others.

Afterwards, pair with a classmate whom you are most comfortable to talk with. Discuss
among yourselves your ranking. Then, further discuss:
 What are your similarities/differences in terms of your love languages?
A commonality we share in the realm of the five love languages is a preference for
spending time, even if it's brief. In fact, the universal need for time with our loved
ones is something we both recognize. Personally, I consider time to be a powerful
love language, both in expressing and receiving love from family, friends, and others.

 What influences do you think are at play in your preferences?

The situations I encounter, my previous experiences, the individuals I come across,
and the activities I find pleasure in.
ACTIVITY 4: Lesson 13

CONTEMPLATE. Think about how you discovered your gender identity "internal sense of
being a man or woman." Reflect on the following questions:
1. How would a transgender child feel when he or she discovers that his or her
biological sex is not the gender he or she wants?
The discovery that one's biological sex does not align with the gender they identify
with can elicit a range of emotions for a transgender child. It's crucial to approach this
situation with empathy and understanding. Initially, the child may experience
confusion, fear, or a sense of isolation as they grapple with the realization of their
gender identity. They might feel pressure to conform to societal expectations and
norms. Support from family, friends, and educational institutions is paramount during
this period, providing a safe space for the child to express their feelings and ask
questions. Open communication, acknowledgment, and validation of the child's
identity are essential in helping them navigate this aspect of their self-discovery.
Seeking professional guidance, such as from a therapist or counselor specializing in
gender identity, can also be beneficial in fostering a positive and supportive
environment for the transgender child.

2. What would a Filipino parent usually do when their children start to cross-dress?
In the Philippines, reactions from parents when their children start to cross-dress can
vary widely due to cultural and individual differences. Some Filipino parents may
initially feel surprised, confused, or concerned about societal expectations and norms.
However, it's essential to note that many parents go through a process of
understanding and acceptance. In supportive families, parents may engage in open
communication with their children, seeking to understand their feelings and
experiences. Acceptance and support from parents can play a crucial role in helping
the child navigate their gender identity. Some parents may also seek guidance from
support groups or professionals specializing in gender issues to better understand and
support their children in this aspect of their identity. Ultimately, reactions can differ
among Filipino parents, with a growing awareness and acceptance of diverse gender
expressions in recent years.

3. How could a Filipino family become more supportive to their transgender child?
Creating a more supportive environment for a transgender child within a Filipino
family involves embracing open communication, education, and empathy. It begins
with actively listening to the child's experiences, providing a safe space for them to
express their identity. Family members should take the initiative to educate
themselves about transgender issues, seeking to understand the challenges and
celebrations associated with being transgender. Respecting the child's chosen name
and pronouns is a fundamental aspect of validation. Seeking professional guidance,
such as therapy or support groups, can offer valuable insights and assistance during
this journey. It's essential to foster a supportive home environment, advocating for the
child's rights within the family and broader community. Encouraging connections
 with supportive peers and celebrating the child's achievements contribute to a positive
atmosphere.
