The reason that I feel that random drug testing in schools is important is because there are drugs everywhere and can easily be found. The main reason that many teens start using drugs is because of peer pressure and they feel that's there way of being accepted.The reason drug testing would help schools is because now the parents these students will be able to know if there child is possibly doing any drugs and can help prevent them from further use. The schools can also provide counseling for these students which can benefit a safe and private way to stop using drugs. Many students would probably resent the fact of talking a drug test so, I feel that two random drug test during the school year would let the school know if they are doing drugs and by the second drug test if they have chosen to keep doing drugs.And since most schools test only students who do something more than just show up for class—like join an after-school club, or play a sport—kids can avoid the activities rather than quit drugs. Drugs in school are a very big issue because schools are a drug free environment.
Data published by NHS show that there is high number of measles reported due to 1-16 years old children who missed the vaccinations between 1990s and 2000s. In 2012 the numbers of cases was 2,000. The fears are now concerned on the MMR vaccination, as now there is also a big group of children who did not received their vaccination. NHS urge parents to ensure their children receive the vaccination. This shows that many parents are sceptical to the vaccinations, what might have negative consequences for children.
These parents would have to inform the students how sex occurs, what happens, and protection methods to use. If a parent wanted to teach this information at home it would bring them a lot of responsibility and for some of them it could be awkward. Additionally, a parent who did not teach their children or push them towards abstinence would be responsible for providing the child with the necessary forms of birth control. A select group of parents would not think they need to provide birth control to their children as their kids would not be sexually active. The problem that arises with this is that their kids could try to be rebellious to their parents’ rules and be sexually active.
Web. 11 June 2012. Judith Warner wrote an articled titled “Parents Created This Problem, and Must Address It,” where she tackles the continually dangerous and rising issue of students who are using drugs to make them focus in school and on school work. The drugs being abused are most commonly Ritalin and Adderall, which is medication prescribed to people with A.D.H.D., but however are being used by a countless number of students. Warner argues that this is very dangerous to kids and the pressure of parents on their kids to do well in school
As adults we owe it to children to ensure their safety against sexual predators among us, online and off. There are many programs at schools and at community centers that makes children aware of some dangers to look for when approached by someone you don’t know. Some things these places can’t teach our children and so that is where we come in as parents. With monitoring our child’s behavior and talking to our children to make sure they understand that there are bad people out there and how to make themselves aware of this. A few things I like that the schools teach, is the buddy system and to scream or make as much noise when someone
The lack of education leads to further development of barriers such as a financial barrier and poor lifestyle that makes them unable to provide for themselves and their child. Most jobs that do not require a high school diploma only offer a minimum wage and do not offer adequate benefits to meet all medical needs. “key indicators of health, infant mortality rates and low-birth weight rates, were elevated when infants were born to mothers who were less educated” (Flores et al,1998). Considering that statement I believe that the biggest barrier affecting this vulnerable population’s health is education. Vulnerable mothers that do not finish getting their education become discouraged and loose the motivation and drive to tackle the oncoming challenges that life brings, creating for them another barrier on the micro level; it being a financial barrier.
The warning signs of bullying should not be ignored, therefore it is important to truly understand the affects that bullying holds on children. During my research I found that children can be bullied for many reasons which many include: how fast or slow they learn, choice of lifestyles, height (too tall or too short), race, religion, where they live, their style of clothing or hairstyle, the way they speak, wearing glasses or braces, their disability or for no reason at all. One example of bulling is from a February 2008 news story about a kid named Larry King. He was murdered for being gay. It said in People Magazine that another kid killed Larry by shooting him in the head twice.
Peer pressure is so common in schools from middle school all the way to junior high. If parents aren’t able to help the next generation our future who will also be responsible for our future generations shouldn’t we give them a professional environment where they can actually learn how to be safe and handle the emotions and new feelings they get from puberty. Parents will argue against their sons or daughters to go take sex education. Fear is common that sex education will be a gate way to believing sex is ok. Sex education however provides different methods to prevent having STD’s or giving birth which happens without a basis of how to use protection.
All of these things can put parents at risk for becoming depressed.” Another cause, is the fact that the transition into parenting can be a very stressful time in a person’s life. This can be very worrisome as research has found that depressed fathers were most likely to neglect their children and resort to physical punishment towards their child. As well as, it being less likely that they will read and interact with their children on an academic level. In particular, it is troublesome among Latinos because there is the lack of Spanish speaking health care providers, for those latino fathers. As well as there is less information regarding Latinos and mental health, leading these men to be less likely to search out help.
He or she is likely to end up in trouble with the law than their peers without the proper support (Cowan, 2004, p. 1008). Like everything, this varies from case to case. Most adoptive parents tend to want younger children, not necessarily an infant, but one that is under 8 years of age. In most cases, older children that are closer to aging out of foster care have a harder time because of
