Social Health

Our society is very controversial on so many issues and with the atttitudes that people carry that makes others unhappy is causing unhealthy situations to happen in our world. Since we are social beings it is important that people learn how to communicate with one another so that way everyone has an understanding on people's views and perspectives on things. In this day in age people tend to just do things and not have intelligent conversations because they are afraid that they will miss something in their lives despite how dangerous it is. Talking and expressing your feelings is part of living a healthy lifestyle. It is important to have a support system or a circle of friends that care about you so that way when you have problems you won't leave them bottled up inside. You can at least say there are people in your lives that are worth talking to so not only get opinions from them, but also to let certain things go.

Stressors

Everybody goes through stress all the time. People just cope with them differently. There are so many causes to stress whether it is a bad relationship, work, friends, etc. So many things can get you all worked up very quickly. It is scarier when it effects them physically because some people can get rashes or just get overall sick and sometimes the stress is usually beyond our control. The important thing is trying to deal with and relieve the stress. Of course it should be healthy choices to relieve so that way we can learn from our mistakes and move on and also what we can do different if it happens again.

Invisibility/Respect Levels

Society has so many standards that have crushed people's self-esteem for a long time and it's to the point where it is out of control. This world is solely based to much on looks instead of the spirit of people. There was a study done that said that attractive people get more jobs and opportunties than unattractive people just because of their looks. That is pretty sad because some people never get a chance to go inside the minds of the unexpected or the unique. It is a true statement that first impression is everything, but that shouldn't be the only concern either. The typical all-american look is blonde hair, blue eyes, big boobs, nice legs, and have a young look. That is pretty much the american standard of women and anyone the opposite of that is pretty much beneath them. These people that are beneath the standard are considered the invisible people because they are irrelevant. That is really harsh and disrespectful because god made all of us, but yet people want to be ignorant and unaccepting of the fact that they are different types of people. This has been going on for years and it just seems to get worst everyday. This issue is translated into everyday activities whether it is sports, work, school, etc. It is greatly effected in schools because kids are growing up and learning new things and getting into new experiences which comes with a lot of expectations. Bullying is becoming so severe and most of it is based off of looks and your sexuality. In high school there are all these categories and cliches that people actually follow which is like the standards of school on how you have to be and anyone else is beneath them. This world is such a controlled environment that it is not allowing people to live their lives the way they want to because there are too many unnecessary standards to follow. ThtheI

Emotional Intelligence

It is important that people have emotional intelligence because it has a lot to do with how you think about things and deal with your emotions. There are so many people who are not emotionaal and there are some people that are afraid to be emotional. This type of issue makes people feel some type of way because of how they handle situations. Everybody has the unique ability to control their emotions, but it's how you go about it that separates it from how you feel. It is always good to talk about your feelings, it's just that it is up to you on when to talk about it.

Hair Care

Hair is something that is very important to a girl in some type of way. She may love it short and wish to keep it that way because it is easier to deal with and can do simple styles with it. She loves it long because it makes us feel that, that is where all of our beauty is held. You can do many different styles with long hair and taking care of it is a lot of work. The texture of it is also a big deal. Straight-hair girls would love to have curly hair and curly-hair girls would love it straight sometimes. Either way our hair is that is the main thing we talk about or deal with on a daily basis when it comes to grooming and pampering ourselves. Everyone's hair is different epecially of different races. Caucasion women seem to have the best type of hair because it comes in many different colors and textures whereas African-American women seem to have coarse, thick hair tha is difficult to grow, but there are actually many ways for all hair types to grow and stay healthy we just never knew what exactly is the secret because we just assume certain products are for certain types of hair, but in reality all hair types have the same components. There are a lot of ingriedients that you would never think are for your that are usually for another specific purpose. The main thing to remember though is the fact that whatever you use it has to be purely NATURAL! That is the key word. Natural. Even if it is a regular product that has natural ingriedients in it, it is still processed and chemicalized so make sure whatever you get is all natural. At the same time, there are also websites that say to use household products for your hair one being birth control. Not necessarily consuming them, but crushing the pills and mixing them with olive oil then use them as a conditioner. Isn't that weird! With that being said it is important to condition on your scalp for amount 3 minutes because the blood should circulate that causes scalpal stimulation for growth as well. As always you should use a silk wrap for your hair at night time or a silk pillowcase so that way your ends are healthy and to prevent damaged hair. This is a typical routine for black women because of the texture of our hair, but it has also been said that white women should wrap their hair as well to keep it healthy. Castor oil is also an important essential element for your hair because it contains amino acids and nutrients that is the one thing that your hair craves for. Always have your hair hydrated as well. It's like when it doubt, hydrate your hair. Hydration is important for damaged, oily, dry, all types of hair. Since your hair is also made out of protein you need to condition it with more protein and the best kind of protein to use is raw eggs. What you do is mix the eggs with olive oil and castor oil as well as coconut juice and once you put it in your hair where a shower cap so those ingriedients can penatrate into the hair shaft. I've tried and I'm actually pleased. The weirdest thing that I've heard to use on your hair is beer. Again not necessarily consuming it, but using it as a conditioner. This is because of the yeast in the contents that is good for the hair shaft as well, but another drink to use is kool-aid. Not sure why I've heard it works really, but as good as it is to drink I don't know if it's as good as a conditioner, but it's probably worth a try. Also of course mayonnaise is good for your hair because of the amount of protein that it contains as well. Most women use it once a month or even use it for co-washing. At the same time even though going natural is the best option, whatever benefits your hair is your choice especially if it has kept your hair healthy all this time.

The Choking Game

This choking game is such a dangerous trend that it has already killed so many teens just with their first time playing it. It is pretty much a different way to get high without using drugs. In reality it is just as bad becuase you are putting your health at risk. People are intentionally decreasing the amount of oxygen to their brain so they can hallucinate and get a sense of feeling high that you get from smoking weed. People also use this game for sexual arousal. It is a thing called auto-arouse hallucination where you cut off the amount of oxygen to your brain and accumulate carbon dioxide to get aroused. These two situations are actually two separate activities, but for the purpose of doing something daring and dangerous to feel another type of way to yourself. Thses type of games have got to stop because we are losing our generation.

Face Punching

There's a new trend going on called face punching which is exactly what it sounds like. Kids are actually wanting to get punched in the face because they think it's funny. They also make videos of themselves get knocked out so they can look back on it and laugh. They don't see it as harmful, but instead humorous. The funny thing is it is a game, but the rules are crazy. You can't hit in the temple, the back of the head, or back the neck which is silly when you can simply just not hit each other at all to save the trouble. Why give out these type of rules when you can just simply avoid the game as a whole. Another reason why some kids play this game is to build up resistence for when they get into a real fight. It sounds reasonable, but it still sounds like an unreasonable activity to do. One kid was even interviewed about this game because he atually participates in it and he tells his grandmother to hit him because it's funny and to train her to fight better. That is the silliest thing ever because that goes to show you how bored someone can really get. Then they interviewed another guy that participated in a punching game few years prior, but the incident caused him to have brain damage. He pretty much explained that the impact the guy's fist against his forehead caused him to blackout and crush the front part of his skull. That traumatic experience caused him to loose that piece of his skull leave no protection of his brain. Now the boy can't really do any physical activities for the sake of his head all because him and his friends wanted to play rough by punching each other. It seem like this day in age boredom has got the best of people. It can make you do crazy things, but it has become out of control. Teens are inventing new ways of being stupid. Everyday you hear an incident that a teen did that is such a gruesome crime that you would never thought would happen. A lot teens feel like they have to do crazy things or be disrespectful to get the respect they deserve when that same respect isn't the type of respect that people should want since they are giving it the wrong way.
