Websites for teens:
The kidshealth.org
teen website has information about nutrition, fitness, diseases, drugs
and alcohol, staying safe, and more.
TeenHealthFX provides
online answers to teens' questions about their health, their relationships,
their bodies and their sexuality. It is not meant to substitute for
talking to your own doctor or parents, but it is a way to find out answers
to questions without embarrassment.
Here's a
link to a list of on-line resources and advice on many topics of
interest to teens: nutrition & weight, piercings, dating, depression and
more. Links are generally to university, medical and government sites.
Guide to Healthcare Schools has assembled a page of
resources on teen health to "help you learn more about a teenager's
body, their mental health, physical health, teenage substance use and
sexuality."
NoTobacco.org is the teen website of The Foundation for a Smoke Free
America (which also has a website for
adults). You will find quitting tips, pictures you can use to make
posters for school, and links to websites where you can research specific
issues dealing with smoking and tobacco for school papers, newspaper
articles or debate.
