Being a good listener is more than just allowing the other person to speak—you've got to be able to hear what the other person is saying in order to understand the meaning behind their words. There are few things you can do to be a good listener: 1. Pay attention. Don't be distracted by things happening around you. Don't get on your phone and start scrolling or texting. 2. Don't judge what the other person tells you. Let them finish their thought without worrying that you'll jump to conclusions. 3. Don't spend time thinking about what you're going to say next.This is hard to do if you're feeling defensive, but it'll really help if you listen. 4. Show empathy. Empathy means that you show the other person that you feel what they feel. 5. Don't offer solutions to a problem unless you're asked specifically. Most people just want support—they want to be heard. They don't actually want you to solve problems for them. 6. Ask questions to be certain that you understand what the other person is saying, but don't interrupt. Wait until the other person pauses. 7. Be responsive: nod your head or reflect back by saying something like, "you must be so excited" or "that's terrible." Being a good listener is an important skill and can help you to become good boyfriend or girlfriend material. People like to be heard, especially by those they care about. If you need practice, try it out on your close friends or family members. -- Please like, share and subscribe to AMAZE! Follow us on Snap and Insta for more info about puberty and growing up.

It argues that there are five stages of human needs that motivate our behavior. #learn #motivation Never miss a new video : http://eepurl.com/dNU4BQ JOIN us as a Youtube member for special perks: ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-RKpEc4eE9PwJaupN91xYQ/join SUPPORT our mission to create free video lessons on Patreon: ❤️ https://www.patreon.com/sprouts Script: Abraham Maslow proposed his theory in 1943 after studying what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein or Eleanor Roosevelt. STAGE 1 First, there are physiological needs, such as the need to breathe, eat, drink or sleep. The moment we got enough of that and we feel awake and our bellies are full, we get motivated by the next thing. STAGE 2 Now we want safety. We try to earn money, build up resources and look for shelter that protects us against dangers. Once we are satisfied and feel safe, we have time to think about what we want next. STAGE 3 At stage three we seek love and belonging. We desire to be close to family and friends, belong to a society or join a gang. But the moment we feel completely part of a group we already wish to be a little different than the rest. At stage four we look for esteem, self-confidence, and respect from our peers. We want to be someone. If we have money, we buy a fancy watch. If we have a brain, we write or think or work a lot. Motivation to perform and compete is now at its highest. Students, sportsmen, and inventors excel. Neil Armstrong even flew to the moon. STAGE 5 Only if we breathe and drink and eat and sleep enough and we feel safe and part of a group and still special, only then we can reach level five: self-actualization. Now we can relax, be creative, accept facts for what they are, give back or do whatever we want. No more pressure, unless of course there is trouble below. If you are a leader and believe in the theory, use it. First, make sure everyone has eaten well. Then make them feel safe and help them belong to a group. Once they feel they belong, they are ready to stand out and excel.

In the meantime, these resources can help you learn a little bit more about your body and what might happen when you have sex.

STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are basically the same thing! So, why do people sometimes say “infection” instead of “disease”? The word “disease” can make people think of a visual problem, but a lot of STDs don’t have any signs or symptoms – they’re an infection that you might not see. That’s why it’s so important to get screened if you are sexually active. That way, your doctor can help you if you need it. Learn more about STDs: STDs and STIs from GirlsHealth.gov. HOW DO I GET STDs? STDs are caused by bacteria, viruses, and even tiny insects! You can get a STD by having sexual contact with someone who has one. Sexual contact can mean intercourse or putting your mouth, hands, or genitals on someone else’s genitals. Remember, even if they can’t get pregnant, women who have sex with women are also at risk for STDs. WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STDs? Bacterial Vaginosis Chlamydia Congenital Syphilis Genital Herpes Gonorrhea Herpes genital Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) Syphilis Trichomoniasis WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET A STD? STDs are all different. Some can be treated and cured. But you can still get the STD again if you have sex—especially unprotected sex—with an infected person. Ask your provider about treatments for your partner, otherwise you could give each other the infection back and forth. Some STDs can’t be cured, but you can help manage the symptoms. There are also a few STDs that can be life threatening without treatment. BACK TO TOP CONDOM DO'S AND DON'TS DO use a condom every time you have sex. DO put on a condom before having sex. DO read the package and check the expiration date. DO make sure there are no tears or defects. DO store condoms in a cool, dry place. DO use latex or polyurethane condoms. DO use water-based or silicone-based lubricant to prevent breakage. DON’T store condoms in your wallet as heat and friction can damage them. DON’T use nonoxynol-9 (a spermicide), as this can cause irritation. DON’T use oil-based products like baby oil, lotion, petroleum jelly, or cooking oil because they will cause the condom to break. DON’T use more than one condom at a time. DON’T reuse a condom. More Information BACK TO TOP PREGNANCY PREVENTING PREGNANCY Not having sexual intercourse – otherwise known as abstinence – is the most effective way to prevent pregnancy. But there are still birth control options that you can use when you aren’t ready to become pregnant. HAVING A HEALTHY PREGNANCY ON YOUR SCHEDULE Whether or not you’re interested in having a baby, it’s important to take care of your body by staying active and eating the right food . And if you ARE interested in one day having a baby, it’s important to talk to your provider about “Preconception health.” Preconception health is talking about how to take care of yourself so that you can have a healthy baby. If you are ready to have a baby, please talk to your provider. They can help you plan and prepare for a healthy pregnancy. You can schedule an appointment by calling 603-626-9500. Click Here Haga Clic Aqui BACK TO TOP RELATIONSHIPS HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS Relationships can be tough. It’s important to treat your friends and partners with respect. You deserve that respect as well. Boundaries are so important when you’re creating relationships. When you explore having sex with your partner, you need to have honest and open discussions. No one should feel forced to have sex if they are not ready or do not want to. If you are feeling unsafe with your partner, please tell someone! If you are interested in learning more about boundaries and consent, check out these resources from Bedsider: Boundaries & consent | Sex & relationships | Articles, News, Tips, and Health Information (bedsider.org) Los límites y el consentimiento | El sexo y las relaciones | Artículos, Noticias, e Información de Salud (bedsider.org) Sometimes, dating is complicated. Maybe your family doesn’t approve of your partner or you’re not sure how to end an unhealthy relationship. If you can relate to any of those situations, then love is respect can help! Relationships aren’t all about romance. Are you struggling to make friends, get along with your family, or work out problems in ALL of your relationships? GirlsHealth.gov can help you learn how to communicate and form healthy relationships. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS: Your feelings | girlshealth.gov Healthy relationships for young adults | love is respect Relationships | girlshealth.gov IS SOMEONE MAKING YOU NERVOUS OR UNCOMFORTABLE? No one ever has the right to abuse you! Sometimes, abuse isn’t physical. People can also hurt you by using unkind words meant to bring you down or by trying to control your actions. If you are threatened or hurt by your partner, help is available. It can be very hard to get up the courage to leave a partner who is hurting you (especially if you love them), and it can be a very complicated situation. But it’s not your fault and there are resources to help you.
