While less harmful than smoking, vaping still causes health issues, (for example "popcorn lung," a severe and irreversible lung disease). Teens who vape are likely to develop a nicotine addiction, and consequently much more likely to start smoking cigarettes or using other addictive substances. Experimental use of vapes in the past has put Warwick School pupils at high risk (for example, incorrect dosage leading to nicotine poisoning). * Those caught vaping at Warwick School can expect serious consequences, very likely suspension for a first offence and possible expulsion for subsequent offences or for supplying vapes to others.* ## Up in Smoke - Quiz - True or False? * E-cigarettes contain nicotine * Second-hand smoke isn’t a health risk associated with e-cigarettes * E-cigarettes are cheap to buy * E-cigarettes contain no addictive ingredients * In 2015 only 7% of 11-18yr olds said that they had not heard of e-cigarettes ## Up in Smoke - Help to Quit Vaping * *If you vape and are struggling to stop vaping, or if you are worried about a friend who vapes, you can do the following: * Speak to a trusted adult (parent, Form Tutor, Head of Section) * Visit the Wellbeing Hub for advice * Ask for help anonymously on Whisper * Visit the following website: * https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/addiction-support/drug-addiction-getting-help/* ## Up in Smoke - Cannabis **Questions:** * Why do people use cannabis? * What issues can using cannabis create? ## The Man in the Mirror - Appearance Ideals **Questions:** * What can you see?

Now imagine you have to be in this relationship for the rest of your life. How would that relationship feel? How would that relationship affect your thoughts, behaviour and day-to-day life? * I think we can all agree that this would be a NIGHTMARE. I think we would all want to leave this relationship. But some people feel this way about themselves, and there is no way to leave a relationship with yourself.

And this can make living very difficult. * Watch the following video clip that shows some of signs that a person’s mental health is an issue.

Work in pairs to write these in the two columns of the table on your sheet.* **Table:** | Healthy Coping Strategies | Unhealthy Coping Strategies | | ------------- | -------- | | | | * *If you are feeling like you’d like some help with your mental health you can...* * Email [email protected] in order to arrange an initial appointment to talk to someone * Send an anonymous message via Whisper (available through MySchool Portal) * Drop into the Wellbeing Hub * Speak to a trusted adult (Form Tutor, Head of Section, etc) * Speak to a friend, sibling or to your parents * Find more information about wellbeing see the school website (www.warwickschool.org/wellbeing) or the Young Minds website (www.youngminds.org) ## Healthy Relationships - Romantic Relationships **Questions:** * Think of the different relationships you have with different people (or even animals) in your life. On the scale below, mark where on the scale of importance each of them is (1 is of little importance, 10 is of great importance). * You may have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, you may not. If you have a partner currently, mark onto the scale how important the relationship is to you. If you don’t have a partner, mark on the scale where you imagine that this relationship would be on the scale (1 is of little importance, 10 is of great importance). * Why do people have romantic relationships? * In your group of 4, write down as many different reasons as you can think of why people have romantic relationships (try to get to at least 10 reasons). * Which of the things on your list can only be achieved through having a romantic relationship? * Compare this list with what we might want from life not just romantic relationships - what do you notice? * Where else can we get these things? * Do we expect too much from romantic relationships? ## Healthy Relationships - Discussion Points About Romantic Relationships **Questions:** * Is there a pressure to be in a relationship (or not be single)? If so, why? * What are some of the advantages to getting so much from one kind of relationship? * What are some of the disadvantages to getting so much from one kind of relationship? ## Healthy Relationships - Marriage and Families **Questions:** * Why do people choose to get married or get into a civil partnership? (There is an image on the page of a diagram with reasons for getting married in boxes). * What makes a healthy relationship? * Now work in your pairs to create a list of factors that make relationships healthy... * What is the best environment to bring up a child? * Statistics indicate that on average children raised by two parents tend to be more successful at school, in the future labour market, in their own marriages than children raised by a single mum or dad. And from this fact, it might seem easy to conclude that marriage wields some outsized power over a child’s life—that its absence creates unstable homes and chaotic families, while its presence nurtures them. But is it the case that the best place to bring up children is in a marriage? Or can children be just as successfully brought up outside of marriage? * There are a host of reasons why children raised in married households are more successful. Two-parent households don't just tend to have more money (which they might spend on tutors, museums, books or simply better health care and groceries) to better look after their children. On average, two parents can also spend more time with their children (which they might spend on homework help, library visits and bedtime reading). This combination means that on average children with married parents are better-supported emotionally, academically and so on, meaning that they do better in life. * However, it’s also clear that marriage itself isn’t the reason why children do better. Parenting skills and income levels drive much of the difference we often more simply attribute to marriage itself. Children thrive when their basic needs are met (physical, emotional, etc) and single or divorced parents in many cases do this just as well or better than parents who are married. The key is that parents need to be engaged in their children's lives – they need to show great organisation, patience, love, empathy and so on that are key to successfully raising children. * Making single parents get married, in other words, won’t fundamentally change the other characteristics about them that really drive their children’s success. ## Healthy Relationships - Relationship Breakdown **Questions:** * At the start of this topic we considered what things make a healthy relationship (see left side of the table below). Now work in pairs to come up with the signs that a relationship is unhealthy and write those factors in the right column of the table. **Table:** | Signs of a Healthy Relationship | Signs of an Unhealthy Relationship | | ------------- | -------- | | Good times/fun | | | Good communication | | | Support | | | Physical Intimacy | | | Trust | | | Safety | | | Limits Respected | | | Independence | | * What should you do if you feel your relationship is unhealthy? * The following questions are all useful in determining if a relationship is healthy or unhealthy. If you are in a situation where it doesn’t feel as if your relationship is going well, ask yourself the following questions... * Do you have complete trust in each other? * Do you share mutual interests? * Do you enjoy spending time together and having a laugh? * Have you found your 'equilibrium' – a good balance between time spent as a couple, and time alone or doing your own thing with friends? * Do you feel a connection and common understanding between you? * Do you feel you work well together as a team, and do you want the best for each other? * Do you communicate openly and honestly with each other? * Do you feel the interest and effort goes both ways and isn’t one-sided? * Do you feel able to discuss what you like and don’t like about the relationship, and have the big difficult conversations together? * Does the relationship feel unpressured and unforced? * How to cope with relationship breakdown * Warning signs can be that you or your partner don’t make time for one another, don’t show the same kindness or attention that you might to others, or don’t enjoy spending time together. Sometimes people want different things, and this can cause an imbalance and may make it difficult to move forward together. But that’s ok. While relationships always involve some compromise, it’s important to make sure you stand up for yourself and your beliefs and you aren’t in a relationship for the wrong reasons. * How do you deal with relationship breakdown? Watch the videos for some tips and make notes below... ## Healthy Relationships - How to cope with the breakdown of your parents' relationship * *Many of you will never have to face the break-down of your parents’ relationship, but some of you will.

Yet the situation in your home may only add to or amplify the stress you’re already feeling. Remember the following points:* * It was never your fault - Don't let anger get the best of you * Don’t be their go-between - Talk to your parents * Talk to your close friends - Talk to a counsellor * The following video is about the experience of a teenager whose parents are divorcing... ## Healthy Relationships - Help and Advice * *The issues we’ve covered today may be issues that you are experiencing or have experienced.
