1. What does it mean if an STD is asymptomatic?
-what its means is that the disease doesn't show any signs that the person is infected.
2.List 4 things that put teens at a higher risk of catching STDs.
-having unprotected sex
-having more than one sex partner
-having unprotected sex with someone who has had several sex partners
3.why do you think the rate of chlamydial infection in people who are 15 to 19 years old is higher than the rate in people who are 30 to 34 years old?
-i think its because at a young age us as teens like to try new things and one of those is to have sex and without even having any experience a lot of people just have sex with people they don't even know very well and they choose not to use protection and have sex without even knowing the risks they are taking.
and people who are 30 years and over usually have more experience than teens who are bearly experiencing the sex life and some of those people who are 30 years and older might think about it twice before doing anything that might put their life's in danger.
4,why do females catch STDs at a higher rate than males ?
-because to what i have read it says that because of the ecosystem of the vagina is warm and moist, bacteria and viruses have a higher chance to develop in the body.Also that if an infected girl has sex with a non infected boy he has 30 percent less chances of catching the bacteria and a girl has 90 percent chances more if she has unprotected sex with an infected boy.
5.list four things you can do, besides abstinence, to protect yourself from STDs.
-not have sex(something most of us really wont do) so to prevent getting an STD use protection with your partner(s).
-know what your doing and not be under the influence of any drug or alcohol that way you know what your doing.
-get tested regularly
-know who you are having sex with and getting your partner to get tested as well.

The bridge that i worked on wasn't meant to be for strenght , we decided to make it for strenght because it wasn't so much for looks.
In the beginning it was going to be for looks but we ended up destroying it and making it for strenght because it would be a little simpler than doing it for looks because other girls were building really nice bridges so it was going to be a hard competition more than it would be for strenght.
I don't think our bridge is going to do so bad to us it seemed pretty strong so hopefully it comes out to be one of the strongest bridges.

Our bridge didnt do so well it only held 10 pounds. I feel OK because i know that we at least tried and worked hard on it

My Goals in Life...









  • I think the subject i didn't do so good in is math. The way i could've done better is if i would've payed more attention in class and put more effort into it.

  • My main academic goal for the next term, is to pay more attention in class and put all my effort into my work that way i could get a good grade and i wont have to be behind.

  • The two overall goals i have for the upcoming year are is to be ready for when my baby is ready to come out of me. And another one of my goals is to be able to go on to 10Th grade and not be so behind in my work, because even though i know its going to be hard for me to do school work and mommy work i know I'm going to be able to do it because 2 of the people i love the most which would be my mom and my sons daddy are going to be there to help me out..

  • The goals i have 6 months from now are for my baby boy to learn how to love his mommy and daddy and for me and his dad to know everything we need to know on how to be really good parents to our baby, and i think that in order for my baby to learn how to get used to us and love us is for me and his daddy to spend the most time we can with him.
