This past Wednesday and Thursday was all about improvising. The consent forms on sex education for the older female group did not get back to us on time. The curriculum was hampered but fortunately, the medical students improvised.

Meanwhile, I was out interacting with the younger female group ( <11 class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">counselor and planned activity, Jeremy, Valerie and I offered our assistance with the warm up exercise and ball games.

I am obviously new, and a few of these teens were not hesitant to ask general questions about me directly. Again, I am surprised that the females are more extroverted than their male peers in comparison to my experience from last week.

I noticed that a few of the female teens were already exhibiting "boy crazy" behaviors. They were more interesting in interacting with the male "attendants"; who were close to their age, than participating in the physical activities.

What I saw as boy crazy behaviors include refusing to take part in the warm up exercise or activity but instead followed the male attendant around and were coquettish in behaviors and mannerism. Once the attendants were gone, I see the same female teens slouching on the sitting area or even lying on the seating area instead of rejoining the group in their games.

Please correct me if I misinterpreted the "boy crazy" behavior I witnessed. I find it disturbing...Perhaps we should introduce "Tween Dating and Relationships and Abuse" module to this group?

Last Thursday was my first time interacting with the young adults at Good Sam. I noticed lots of unspoken rules and non verbal communication going on between the "kids" and counselors.

I was observing the male teens from the back of the class while Jeanette, Christina and Byron were giving the sex education presentation. Most of them did not seem to be listening or avoid eye contact. The biggest surprise was when questions were asked, most of them could answer them! So, do not be fooled by their appearances. They were listening despite they do not look interested!

Back when we were all going through our training phase, several guest speakers mentioned to make the class fun. Now, I fully understand from first hand experience that making the class fun is important. The young adults liven up immediately when they heard they are playing a game i.e The Sperm-Egg Fertilization game.

Jeanette and I both agreed, that even though we do not know how much information these teens could remember, but if they could retained as much as 5% of the content taught, we have helped them build on their knowledge on sex education.
