Lesson 3
Dealing with Health Concerns
Adolescence starts with puberty. It is the period of sexual development among
adolescents. The secondary sex characteristics happen during puberty.
What’s In
Every individual goes through the changes of puberty at his/her own rate. Some may
experience the changes sooner or later than the others. The growth pattern for girls is a little
different from the growth pattern for boys. Girls are usually taller than boys around the age of
11 or 12. Then growth in height slows down for most girls while this speeds up for many
adolescent boys. Within a few years, boys in general become taller than girls. Teenagers of
the same age may vary in height and size.
What’s New Activity 1.10 My Health Plan of Action
This activity shows one’s plan of healthy habits.
I. Objective: To develop a plan of action in maintaining good health. II. Materials/Equipment:
• Worksheet/Activity Notebook
• Pen III. Procedure:
• Prepare your health plan of action based on the results of your screening test, health habits/practices daily log, health dimension checklist. (Activity 1.3)
• Write what you will do to change the habit/practice in any dimension they want to improve or what they will do to maintain it.
• Read the example given to guide you.
Dimensions I want to Improve or Maintain
What I want to change, improve or maintain
What I will do to improve/maintain the
habit/practice
Physical Health Gaining too much weight I will avoid eating too much. I will eat a balanced diet. I will exercise regularly.

• Observe the effects on your health of implementing the plan of action for one month.
• Have a log book to note down the effects of your plan of action.
• Submit this at the end of the month.
• Note the positive effects in your health or the negative effect if there’s any.
• Make some revisions in your plan, if necessary.
• Your plan will be assessed using the rubrics below.
Level of Achievement Description
Outstanding (4) Plan of activities is attainable and health oriented; procedure is easily implemented to reach the goal.
Very Satisfactory (3) Plan of activities and processes are positive, realistic, and somewhat health-oriented
Satisfactory (2) Some plans and processes are positive and realistic; little health value is seen.
Fair (1) Plan of activities is not focused and is unrealistic for present level abilities or development.
Needs Improvement (0) No plan of action is mentioned.
What Is It
DEALING WITH HEALTH CONCERNS
I. Health Concerns Related to Physical Changes
A. Postural Problems You will notice a great variation in the size and shape of adolescents of the same age.
This variation can be a source of concern among teenagers who compare themselves
with others. During the growth spurt, teenagers begin to grow at a rapid rate. Teenagers
who grow taller than their classmates may feel conscious about their height. Some
teenagers may begin to slouch because they are not used to their new height. Others
may slouch on their chairs as they study. Some girls who develop their breast earlier may
also feel conscious and tend to slouch. They may develop poor posture if they continue
to do this. Remember, good posture helps maintain body alignment. It also helps the
bones and muscles to continue to grow properly during adolescence.
Every individual goes through the changes of puberty at his/her own rate. Some may
experience the changes sooner or later than the others. The growth pattern for girls is a
little different from the growth pattern for boys. Girls are usually taller than boys around
the age of 11 or 12. Then growth in height slows down for most girls while this speeds up
for many adolescent boys. Within a few years, boys in general become taller than girls.
This difference may cause uncomfortable feelings. Boys may also feel embarrassed when
their voice “cracks” because of the growth of their larynx. This is part of growing up.
Remember, every teenager experiences these changes. These are normal
experiences and events in everybody’s life so there is no reason to worry and feel
uncomfortable about it. Eventually, these awkward feelings will disappear as teens adjust
to the changes in their growth and development.
7
B. Body Odor
During the early teen years, the sweat glands become more active. When teenagers
play actively or engage in sports or other physical activities, they tend to perspire
profusely. If they do not know how to manage this problem, it may cause unpleasant body
odor. How does this happen?
Sweat glands are numerous under the arms and any bacteria under the arms may act
on perspiration and cause an unpleasant body odor. If you do not practice proper hygiene,
then you might have body odor. Take a bath or shower daily. Soap and water will remove
bacteria and excess oil on the skin. Apply deodorant or antiperspirant daily. Be sure to
bring extra clothes and change when needed. These may prevent unpleasant body odor.
C. Dental Problem
The more common dental problems of teenagers include dental caries or tooth decay,
halitosis or bad breath, and gingivitis or swelling of the gums. Both dental caries and
gingivitis can lead to halitosis. It is important to remember that all of these are brought
about by not brushing, poor tooth brushing skills and drinking carbonated drinks and
eating sweets frequently. This can lead to proliferation of dental plaque, which is made
up of colonies of microorganisms. Dental plaque hardens to “tartar” if not removed. So,
tooth brushing after every meal and flossing at least twice a day should take at least a
minimum of three minutes to remove all food particles lodged between the teeth.
Dental problems can also be prevented by doing the following:
• Eating nutritious foods
• Limiting between-meal snacks, especially sweet and sticky foods
• Brushing and flossing to remove plaque or tartar
• Visiting the dentist regularly, at least twice a year
D. Lack of Sleep
While sleeping, the body gets a chance to rest. Although most body activities slow
down while sleeping, some remain active. The pituitary gland releases more hormones,
like growth hormones, when one is asleep. Body cells grow and repair themselves more
rapidly during sleep. Lack of sleep during the adolescent years interferes with these
processes and might interfere also with proper growth and development.
Teenagers need nine to ten hours sleep each night to feel well and rested. So, you
should refrain from staying late at night playing computer games, watching television or
just staying awake doing something. Insufficient sleep has negative effects on your
growth and development.
8
II. Health Concerns Related to Social Changes At this point of your life, your friends become very important to you and you probably spend most of your time with them. You meet people and form new relationships.
A. Problems with relationships
During adolescence, your relationship with other people changes. However, teenagers
often change friends as they develop new interests. This may result in breaking up with
old friends.
As teenagers you must develop social and communication skills to have a healthy
relationship with your family, friends, classmates and other important people in your lives.
Effective communication involves exchanging ideas, feelings and viewpoints, and talking
and listening skills. Let’s see how this skill applies some events/situations in your lives.
• If you and another person disagree on something, listen to what s/he has to
say and let her/him know your point of view. In this way effective
communication will take place, thus preventing miscommunication.
• If you are out with friends, let your parents know where you are. Let them know
and ask permission if you have a change of plans, like staying late with friends
or sleeping over in your friends’ house. This will show your parents that you are
acting responsibly and safely. Communicating with them in that way will bring
about good relationship.
III. Health Concerns Related to Mental Changes
As adolescents, you are expected to solve more complex problems than when you were
children. Your thinking skills develop and you can see and understand other people’s point of
view.
Mental health concerns in adolescents may be caused by heredity, head injury or chemical
imbalance. It may also be caused by stress, death of a loved one, or separation anxiety. Mental
health concerns could be feeling things are hopeless, being tearful or lacking motivation.
Having trouble coping with everyday activities, showing sudden changes in behavior, avoiding
friends or social contact, trouble in eating or sleeping, poor performance in school. Being
aggressive or antisocial – for example, missing school or stealing are some other
characteristics.

IV. Health Concerns Related to Emotional Changes
Your emotions and feelings also go through changes during adolescence and you
may experience these problems:
A. Mood Swings/Intense Emotions
You may be happy at one moment, then feel sad the next. This mood swing might be
misunderstood by friends or family. Moodiness among girls may be due to changes in their
estrogen level while among boys, it may be due to changes in their testosterone levels.
These hormones can cause emotions to be very intense and swing rapidly. These
emotional swings will settle down as you enter the next stage of your growth and
development.
This mood swing may be bothersome but you must accept that emotional changes
during adolescence are a normal part of your growth and development. Knowledge about
what is happening in your body during adolescence will help you understand better the
changes you are experiencing.
There are positive ways of dealing with intense emotions and of using extra energy
during adolescent years. Get involved in worthwhile physical and social activities, such as
sports, dancing and arts and crafts. These will help you feel better and worry less about
the changes taking place in you.
V. Health Concerns Related Sexual Changes
Adolescent boys experience “wet dreams” or nocturnal emission. This is involuntary
ejaculation of semen during sleep. Although this is quite embarrassing, this is common among
teenage boys during puberty. This experience may cause stress among teenagers so correct
information about sexual changes will prepare them to accept this change positively.
Adolescent girls experience the onset of menstruation. Girls having their menstrual
period need to be more conscious about hygiene. The old belief that it is bad to take a bath or
wash the hair when a woman is menstruating has no scientific basis. There is absolutely no
reason why you should not wash your hair, or take a bath or shower during menstruation. In
fact, a nice warm bath can do a lot to relieve menstrual cramps and premenstrual tension. You
might want to avoid cold water during your period since it could, theoretically, cause uterine
contractions that could increase menstrual cramps.
If you experience puberty at an early age, don’t feel embarrassed to talk about it.
Talking to your parents, responsible adults, doctor, or teacher is the best thing to do.
10
A. Myths and Misconceptions about Menstruation
The monthly bleeding which every normal woman experience has been the subject of
so many myths and misconceptions that up to now many women still consider as gospel truth.
Here are some of these popular Filipino myths on menstruation.
1. Do not take a bath when you have your period because it will make you bald,
insane and infertile.
➢ Bathing during your period is encourage for good reason as to prevent
vaginal infections.
2. During your very first period, you must jump from three steps so that your menses
will last only three days.
➢ The usual duration of menstrual flow is three to five days. Jumping or
without jumping, chances are period will only last three days.
3. Menstrual blood used as a face wash can eliminate pimples.
➢ It is about hormonal explanation than when the flow starts, these hormones
decrease such that the glands now go back to their normal activity and the
pimples disappear on their own.
4. Eating sour fruits will make your menses painful.
➢ Dysmenorrhea can be cause by several factors. The kind of food one eats
does not influence the occurrence of dysmenorrhea like sour fruit.
5. Going to a dead man’s wake during menstruation will make your menses
malodorous.
➢ Vaginal secretions have a particular smell which may be different from each
woman. Tissues that have sloughed off and blood that remained inside the
uterus begin to necrotize and may give an odor like that of rotting flesh.
VI. Health Concerns Related to Spiritual-Moral Changes
Moral development is the process through which children develop proper attitudes and
behaviors toward other people in society, based on social and cultural norms, rules and laws.
Every child sometimes misbehaves and acts selfishly and hurtfully. It is when these acts
getting serious, impulses cannot be controlled, or authority defiance becomes troublesome.
Self-centered behavior with lack of acceptance of wrongdoing may lead to problem. Risky
behaviors such as drinking alcohols, smoking, taking drugs, or engaging in sexual behavior
may be related to peer pressure may be a way to defy authority. These behaviors deemed
morally wrong by most societies, may also be symptoms of deeper psychological troubles.
If you experience puberty at an early age, don’t feel embarrassed to talk about it. Talking
to your parents, responsible adults, doctor, or teacher is the best thing to do. Talking to a
responsible adult will help teenagers feel comfortable with changes they are experiencing.
11
WAYS TO COPE WITH YOUR CONCERNS
Health concerns/problems brought about by changes during adolescence should be
dealt with properly to prevent negative consequences. Since many of these can be prevented,
you should learn coping skills/self- management skills to face these challenges positively.
Coping skills – this will help you deal with sad, difficult and stressful situations /experiences
in your lives. If you have developed coping skills, you can prevent serious problems resulting
from these experiences.
There are several coping techniques you can use in ordinary life situations. Some are
very useful; some are not. Some can help you for a short time only but some can help you for
a long time. Study the following coping techniques and see how you can practice them:
I. Support- Seeking Strategies:
➢ Talk to a friend who can do something about it.
➢ Seek advice from responsible family members/relatives.
➢ Talk to someone to find out more about the problem.
➢ Look for someone who will sympathize with you.
➢ Seek professional help.
II. Positive Problem- Solving Strategies:
➢ Do not act hastily.
➢ Make a plan of action.
➢ Look at the problem as a challenge.
➢ Be creative in solving the problem.
➢ Come up with different solutions to the problem.
III. Avoidance Strategies (These are acceptable for a short-term, so do not exclude other
ways of coping.):
➢ Avoid being with people.
➢ Prepare for the worse that may happen.
➢ Wish the situation to go away or to be over.
➢ Try to forget the whole thing.
➢ Exercise or eat.
➢ Hope a miracle would happen.
12
IV. Positive- reframing Strategies:
