Cocaine
What is a healthy relationship?
Cocaine is one hell of a drug they say, but what are the effects and side effects of such drug? Effects include a increase in alertness, mood and predominance. Althought that may sound like a drug you would want to take, remember that those are only temporarily and reported by certain individuals, other individuals reported effects such as anxiety, paranorma, restlessness, and irritability. In addition, cocaine in the body is not only good for your heart because it increases heart rate and blood pressure which may to a heart attack and constriction of brain vessels in the brain which may also lead to strokes. In short, cocaine is addictive, bad for your health and expensive.

Drinking and Driving
Marijuana
Drinking and driving is one of the leading cause of death and for that given reason it is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol content over 0.05g/100ml. In the event that you are intoxicated, a good idea would be to call a taxi, have a designated driver drive you home, or find a place to rest. Consequences for drinking and driving are not taken lightly and suspension of license, jail, ticket and community service are all possible consequences associated with drinking and diriving.
Marijuana is a plant based drug that has blown up in modern day society is also referred to as the gateway drug to many harder drugs such as cocaine, heroin and esctasy.

To those seeking for help may call one of the many confidential hotlines that are available to support such cases or visit your nearby drug rehabilitation.
What are you and your other family members values regarding sexual activity?
- In my opinion, a healthy relationship is a relationship where both members of the party has the ability to tell each other everything whether it be something from the past, present, or future and to be able to look past each others past and still be able to continue loving them for who they are without fear that they will turn their backs on you.
What are the peer and social pressures in regards to engaging in sexual activities?
- Like ice cream, It would depend on the individual. For my family, their view on sexual activity is something that shouldn't be done just for the sake of doing it, but rather to perform it when you're ready, when you feel as if you're ready to explore and have a deeper connection with your partner. Also remembering to practice safe sex.
Victim's of such pressure may feel as if they're not as good as everyone else who do engage in sexual activities, whether it be because of physical appearance or even the way they approach their desired partner. In addition, their confidence and 'reputation' can lower as well.
Road Safety
(Road Rage)
. N.p.. Web. 16 Nov 2013. <http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/osmv/road-safety/impaired-driving.htm>.
- Road rage can be signifcantly reduced by staying calm and focusing on the road.
- Ignore the individual's behavior
- Play your favourite song, breath in a slow and controlled manner and plan ahead.
- Road rage can be a safety hazard for other drivers, pedestrians, and the surroundings as most people who road rage lose focus of their surroundings and direct their attention to the cause. This is not only dangerous but can be illegal as well. If found negligient, aggressive driving can land you 6 points and a $368 fine.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections (STD/STI)
What are they?
What are they? STD is also known as a sexually transmitted disease that is contracted through sexual contact such as sex, oral and even kissing.
How can you prevent them?
A very effective way to prevent the contraction of STD is by not engaging in any sexual contact. In regards to sexual contact, partners may be able to prevent the contraction through the use of condoms during sexual contact. It is also very important to have a regular check up with your doctors to ensure that you are clean of any diseases/infections.
