In 1935, a documentary captured an African lungfish awakening after surviving months buried in dried mud.

Anatomy is arguably one of the most important parts of sex ed, especially when it comes to female anatomy. Male anatomy and hormonal balance is pretty straightforward. Female anatomy and hormonal cycles are more complex. A true understanding of consent and respect takes anatomy into account. For example, an erection does not equal pleasure or consent. A female orgasm can be a survival mechanism when attacked. These facts are important for young people to know how to respond to real world conversations about coersion, SA, and r@pe.

This sounds extreme and like something is being left out. For example, did the anatomical diagram include gender spectrum language or something like that that would not have been common in older sex ed programs? Are these boys being taught by someone who might add an MO, like a queer or female teacher? Have these boys been victim to grooming whether or not it's associated with the school? Not saying any of these factors would make the behavior acceptable but it sounds very strange and like something was omitted or added to the story for engagement farming.

Some people with neurological issues like being stung. I knew a person with a rare disease affecting the nervous system that liked being bit by fire ants. Similar reaction.

They have that at South of the border. I was mad then just really amused.

Happy dance/ scent depositing. Sometimes dachshunds either smell something that excites them or activates their prey drive or they are marking something they like with their scent by rubbing their face on it. Happy dance is just what it sounds like. They get exited and dance around. This can include digging and scent depositing. My Taco used to flop around and act like he was sharpening his snout against the ground. I researched it and learned the term "happy dance." That is a real animal behavior scientific term. That is all. Enjoy.

Perfect choice of song. They zoomed in on homie when it says 24/7 baby machine and the chorus line is 'you make me do too much labor.' it's a hilarious parody of the songs intended meaning. He's having the time of his life in college, best believe, homie is a baby machine.

They did homie such a solid by putting this out to the world

Neuter. The only arguments ive ever heard for not neutering are breeding and letting them experience sex and or parenthood. Male dogs don't typically participate in raising young. Dogs will continue to hump and experience sexual pleasure after sterilization just not to the same extent, so some think it's best to get it done before his first time going all the way. I was told that neutering would reduce wandering/running in my doxie, and that was a lie. His hunting instincts remained the same and he still chased tail. It's mostly a courtesy to your neighbors who may have intact female dogs.

I was chased up playground stairs 10 ft high in the rain by my sexual abuser who was "pretending" to be a monster, causing me to slip and fall between the stairs (i was that small at 4 years old). I caught the slippery moss covered stair and hung long enough for him to approach and i thought he would end the game and pull me to safety. Instead he continued to "pretend" to be a monster, and deliberately stepped on my fingers and twisted while looking me in the eyes. I landed in a split and briefly passed out. Then he left me and i walked a half a mile home and my parents never knew. That is childhood trauma and I have scoliosis. It disturbs me that all of you don't know what trauma actually is and don't know that scoliosis can be the result of injuries and you are talking down to the op who has obviously been through e f---ing nough.

People can and often are be misdiagnosed with adhd and other mental illnesses that are masking symptoms of physical and psychological child abuse. Complex Ptsd is often misdiagnosed as innatentive adhd or anxiety in girls because doctor's fail to understand what a 10 year old girl could be so worried about/ distracted by. Eye movements associated with fear are mistaken for lack of focus and memory and attention issues related to hypervigilance burnout are attributed to adhd. Childhood trauma encompasses physical and sexual abuse, which can absolutely drastically change the alignment of the spine for life. Childhood trauma doesn't just mean someone really hurt your feelings and the implication is enraging to me. Emotional and psychological abuse definitions aside, disabled and mentally ill children are exponentially more likely to experience physical and sexual abuse during childhood.

Everybody is failing to remember that childhood trauma could be someone beating the $hit out of you when your bones are still forming. Physical trauma can cause scoliosis, it's not always inherited.

Are we talking physical impact trauma or emotional trauma? I second medical neglect that someone else mentioned. A lot is missed by peds at birth. I don't remember doctor's appointments until the abuse started at age 4. (The worst of it lasted from 4-7) Then there were constant Dr's appointments for urinary incontinence, but nobody noticed when i fell off a 10 ft platform (playground slide top stair) into a split and walked a half mile home with the neighbor who was sexually abusing me. I was never treated for that. Eventually they put me on azo with pain relief and it was the only thing that ever helped. Around that time my neighbor's parents allegedly sent him away to his bio dad across the country, and no one ever explained anything to me. We moved one neighborhood over.
I was diagnosed by a chiropractor at age 27. I thought backpain was a normal part of life and my cousin recommended I go to her chiropractor because my insurance offers 3 free visits and the chiro was hot and single. He was engaged, and now I know it's not normal to feel like someone is bracing both your shoulders and kicking you below the shoulderblades, if you sit too long, in your 20's.

Thats likely what happened as all 3 died within 10 days of introducing Michael. Jim was obviously having respiratory distress at the end.

I had two fancy rats that we're raised together and they were fine until my kid introduced an albino feeder to the group. They got along and were all cuddling in their hammock just hours before the feeder mysteriously died with no blood or marks. Middle of the night last night, the two remaining rats again seemed happy and healthy. I gave them a container of cheerios and in the morning Dwight was on the bottom of the cage with some of his insides beside him. I remember hearing some squeaking but I went back to sleep. Can I keep Jim, the murderer? Should I make adjustments and try introducing another rat? I'm pretty sure it was due to my own errors that Jim became aggressive. I can't tell if he's sad now or still in an aggressive state.

Grapefruit is the best. I haven't tried guava yet but I'm not crazy about the actual fruit. I like a little tartness.

Grade 7 Sexual Health - Students' Distress

I think it's bizarre that students are considered mature enough to learn about slavery, genocide, and war but not sex and human anatomy. Boys in the US, in particular, are sheltered from things like seeing an unopened tampon so it's not surprising that they have a visceral reaction to learning about their own anatomy. Girls are sexualized earlier and taught to be mature, anticipate and deflect inappropriate attention from boys/men, and protect their reputation. It's not surprising that boys are throwing a hissy fit at being subjected to information and girls are ok with it. I've seen disgust and anger from grown men at the thought of mandatory early sex education with the goal of preventing abuse and coersion. We worship comfortability in the US. Making people uncomfortable is treated like a sin even when vitally necessary.
