1. MAPEH Health Week 8

2. Adolescence is a critical period of development. This is a stage where physical, emotional, and sociological changes are simultaneously happening that can overwhelm teenagers.

3. Dealing with these changes can cause a lot of confusion and stress to teenagers. Understanding sexuality issues and concerns of teenagers can lead to positive growth and development of self-identity.

6. GENDER IDENTITY You have learned about the meaning of sex and gender and their differences. Gender Identity is a personal conception of oneself as male or female (or rarely, both or neither).

7. GENDER IDENTITY Self-recognition of gender identity develops over time, much the same way a child's physical body does. Most children's asserted gender identity aligns with their assigned gender (sex).

8. GENDER IDENTITY However, for some children, the match between their assigned gender and gender identity is not so clear. Sometimes, the sex of a person at birth does not correspond with their own perceived gender.

9. GENDER IDENTITY These people are referred to as transgender. Transgenders can be further classified into straight, gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

17. Gender Identity is a personal conception of oneself as male or female (or rarely, both or neither). Self-recognition of gender identity develops over time, much the same way a child's physical body does. Most children's asserted gender identity aligns with their assigned gender (sex). Sometimes, the sex of a person at birth does not correspond with their own perceived gender. These people are referred to as transgender . Transgenders can be further classified into straight, gay, lesbian, or bisexual.

18. Sexual orientation  Sexual orientation is an enduring attraction to other people which may be emotional, romantic, or sexual in nature. The attraction can be to the opposite sex (heterosexuality), to the same sex (homosexuality), or to both sexes (bisexuality).

19. Identity Crisis Adolescents going through various changes may experience a gender identity crisis. Some teenagers may question their own sexual orientation. For some, their attraction to the same sex is just a phase that they outgrow as the years pass. But other teenagers’ attraction to the same sex do not disappear and grows stronger as they get older.

20. Gender Stereotype A stereotype is an overgeneralized assumptions or prejudices to a certain group of people or a person which may or may not be true. Stereotypes on gender can be harmful. It may inhibit self-expression and may cause discrimination.

21. Here are some basic kinds of gender stereotypes: Personality traits — Women are often expected to be submissive and emotional, while men are usually expected to be self-confident and aggressive. Domestic behaviors — Women are expected to take care of the children, and keep the home clean and organized, while men need to work outside, discipline the children, and do the home repairs. Occupations — Most people usually assume that teaching and nursing jobs are for women, and that pilots, doctors, and engineers are for men. Physical appearance — For example, women are expected to be sexy and always smell nice, while men are expected to be tall and muscular. People are also expected to dress and groom in ways that are stereotypical to their gender (men wearing pants and women wearing make-up).

22. Gender Equality   A statement from UNICEF  defines gender equality as allowing all genders to enjoy equal opportunities, equal rights, and equal freedom, but it doesn’t mean that genders are all alike. From a biological standpoint, there are inherent differences between male and female gender, thus they may not be treated alike. For example though some companies grant paternity leave for fathers-to-be in equality with maternity leave for their wives, male workers are not given breastfeeding/lactation breaks that are the rights of mothers pumping milk at work for the valid reason that males do not produce milk.

23. Issues in Gender Inequality Gender bias – men are perceived to be more dominant than women. Gender discrimination at work where men are paid higher and would likely to get promoted than women. Sexual harassment.

24. The higher rate of male morbidity due to perceived male activities like smoking and drinking. Women’s difficulty to access healthcare, education, and in some cultures, the ability to travel alone. .

25. Violence against women which is gender-based for the reason that physically, male can cause more damage because of anatomical differences between males and females. Outdated traditions and practices like child marriage where minor girls are paired by their parents to older men. One harmful practice is the preference to have a son rather than a daughter.

26. DOUBLE STANDARD OF MORALITY Boys and girls are given the impression of men being superior to women. In as much as we would like to practice gender equality, the rules for human conduct and human appropriateness are not alike for both sexes as practiced in most areas in the Philippines. This is likely shown in the examples next page:

27. A. Boys and men are permitted to stay out more and up to a later time than the girls and women. B. A philandering or immoral man is considered as demonstrating his manliness or “ pagkalalaki ”. A philandering or immoral woman is considered as cheap, bad, or “ masamang babae ”.

28. C. Women are expected to remain virginal until they marry, while it is generally acceptable for men to have sexual experience before marriage. D. Women are socially judged and legally penalized for adultery and for having children out of wedlock. E. Men who stay at home to do household chores instead of having jobs to earn money for the family are considered by some as “under de saya .”

29. Teens Sexual Behavior RISKS OF PREMATURE SEXUAL INVOLVEMENT Exposure to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Since at their age they were not ready to settle down with one partner, teens are prone to have multiple (concurrent or serial) sex partners. This increases the risk of spreading STIs such as herpes, gonorrhea, genital warts, HIV or hepatitis B among the youth. Teenage pregnancy The Philippines has one of the highest adolescent birth rates among the ASEAN Member States. Live births by teenage mothers (10-19) in 2018 totaled to 183,000. Childbearing during the adolescent stage brings health risks to both mother and child. Teenage mothers are prone to abortion, anemia, STIs, post-partum hemorrhage, and mental health risks such as depression and suicide. Emotional and Psychological Well-being Some studies have found out that most sexually experienced teens have feelings of regret with their premature sexual intercourse. Teens that are sexually experienced are more prone to feelings of depression than teens who are not sexually active. Due to their sexual involvement, teens are vulnerable to harassment, blackmail, and fears of parental disapproval and rejection.

30. THE NEED FOR FAMILY SUPPORT Sexuality as a continuous developmental process, begins from birth to adulthood. And during this process, our family is usually with us. Thus, they have the biggest impact on our sexuality since the beginning. In some traditional families, parents may have a hard time accepting their child’s gender when it is in contrast with their assigned sex at birth. But as studies show, the parent’s attitude is crucial to their child’s healthy sexuality growth and development.

31. How can parents show their support to their transgender child? Love your child for who they are whatever may be their gender. Take time to observe your child’s likes and preferences. For a child, time means love.

32. Talk to your child and see if they are struggling with questions with their identity. Assure your child that they are normal even if they preferred another gender. Respect your child as a person and don’t pressure them to change. Support your child by educating yourself about the difficulties a transgender is experiencing and you will be equip to help them with their confusion.
