BLM 1 Looking after yourself

What does it mean to be healthy?

What does ‘risk’ mean?

What factors placed Jane at risk – how was her behaviour affecting her health and safety?

Were Jane’s study practices successful?

What can you do to stay healthy?

BLM 2 Taking Risks

Some risk taking is good.

If you don’t take risks you don’t have fun.

Boys take too many risks.

You take more risks when you are with your friends.

If you take risks you either get hurt or get into trouble.

Your friends ask you if you would stand for the position of House Captain in the elections. They think you would be a great leader. You are nervous about doing this.

BLM 5 The art of saying NO

No one will know. Stop being a wuss. I’ve done it hundreds of times.

You won’t get hurt. Everyone does it. You can’t come with us if you don’t.

I won’t tell anyone. Everyone will laugh at you if you don’t.

Why don’t you grow up?

You won’t be our friend if you don’t.

Do you think we don’t know what we’re

doing?

Everyone’s parents let them.

We won’t get caught. Non-verbal: They look at each other and roll their eyes and laugh

at you.

Non-verbal: They exclude you at

lunchtime.



BLM 6 The art of saying NO

You have just finished a football game about a kilometre from your home. Your parents are

shopping and can’t pick you up. They had arranged with you to

walk home. It’s raining and cold. Parents of a friend offer you a lift. The car is already full and they say you can squeeze into the back without a seat belt because it’s not far to your

home.

On the way home from school, your best friend suggests that

you both catch a bus into the city to meet someone that she has

met on the internet. Your friend has been chatting with him on-line for weeks and really likes

him. Your parents will be at work till later in the evening so you will get home before they do if

you go.

You go to a friend’s birthday party. There are so many kids

there and some are outside. You go outside and see some kids from school at the back of the

yard and they are drinking from a bottle of vodka. One of the kids

stole it from her house. They offer you some.

You are at the beach for the day with your friends. One of them smokes. When she gets out a

packet, she offers them around to everyone. Most take one. The

packet is then offered to you.

One day a friend is already in the line at the canteen and he says he will get you want you want. You hand over your money. He returns after being served and hands over your food and your money too. He said that no one noticed when he took the food

without paying. He says that you can take a turn getting lunch the

same way tomorrow.

When you’re waiting to cross the highway after a trip to the

shopping centre, one of your friends runs across on a red light. Everyone laughs and she yells for

everyone else to do the same. Another friend does it too, and a car has to brake and the driver

winds down the window and yells at him. This makes everyone

laugh even more. The two on the other side of the road yell that

it’s your turn.

BLM 9 Assessment – Extended ResponseCHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING AND ANSWER IN DETAIL

A. Consider the following scenario and explain in detail how you would deal with the situation to ensure that you did not engage in risk taking behaviour. Use strategies identified in class and your knowledge of harm-minimisation to describe how you would reach your final decision.

You and your best friends are at the local shopping centre during the school holidays. Your friends suggest that you go to see a new movie playing that has a rating of MA15+. As you are only 13, this means you will have to sneak into the cinema. Your parents are expecting you home at 4pm but the movie does not finish until 4.30pm. You tell your friends that you are expected home at 4pm and they say that you should text your parents that you are going back to one of their houses for dinner. You are hesitant to sneak into the cinema as you know the consequences if you are caught, and do not want your parents to find out. When you tell your friends this, they say that you are boring and never want to do anything fun.
