At my school, health is a required class. It is on my schedule to start this semester that starts monday. I cannot handle the human reproduction/STD units. They made me throw up when I took it last year. How do I keep from getting sick/get out of taking this class (at least those units)? The teacher is tough, so keep that in mind. (PS- don't say 'ditch'). Thanks so much. My rep is at stake here. LOL

♥ ♥ ask your parents to speak with the principal and see if there is an alternative for that part... maybe a report or something ♥ ♥

How about talking with your doctor about your anxiety? He/she might be able to prescribe something for you to take while you're taking this class. Since it's something that's required, it doesn't sound like you're going to get out of school without it, so surviving seems the logical option to pursue. You might also consider talking to a counselor about the reasons why you're so anxious about this particular class; while it's probably not the most pleasant topic in the world to some people, most don't react with quite the extreme response that you're describing. Good luck.

Since health is a required class, you need to desensitize yourself to the pictures. Perhaps your mother could help. go to the library and get a good book on the human reproduction/std units. and Look at the pictures. There is nothing ugly about the human body, true the pictures of STD are dreadful, but disease is dreadful, and you do need to know how to avoid it. You will not always be able to turn away from the ugly things in life. Babies have dirty diapers, but we learn how to change them, they get sick and throw up soured milk all over us, but we learn how to clean it up. Don't ditch, hang in there!

You really should talk to your teacher about how unconfortable this class makes you. Then if you are a faint of heart (like I am), just look away during the disgusting parts.

talk w/ the school counselor,see if it is a required class, also consider talking about this w someone in depth because these issues are part of life and you need to be able to have some control... college may not be as easy to get out of.

just don't look at the pictures...or maybe you could tell your teacher ahead of time that you might have to leave suddenly if you feel uncomfortable...I'm sure the teacher will understand! it's not your fault you feel the way you do :)

Bring in your Mp3 player, bring your hair down and wear a sweater over. No one will ever know!
