Situation10 Health Education
Kevin's fourth period class is health education in which students learn about general health matters like diet, exercise, and sex education. His teacher's name is Ms. Moore.
Kevin: Ms. Moore, I have a question.
Moore: Yes, Kevin, what is it?
Kevin: I have a question about sex.
Moore: What is your question?
Kevin: When did you have your first experience?
Moore: Kevin, let me ask you the same question.
When did you have your first sexual experience?
Kevin: Actually, I'm a little embarrassed, but I have no experience.
Moore: Why? Should you be embarrassed about that?
Kevin: Well, a lot of my friends have already had their first sexual experience, but... Kevin turns red and stops talking.
Moore: There is no right or wrong time to have your first experience. Do not let your friends pressure you into something you are not ready for. When you are ready, it will happen.
Kevin: Thanks, Ms. Moore. That's what I tell my friends but they all laugh at me.
Moore: Don't worry about that.Only you know yourself. Don't listen to anyone who tries to tell you different.
Kevin: Thanks. You're right.
Moore: It's my job to be right. Now, class, please open your books to page seventy‐one. Today we are going to learn about diet and exercise.Who can tell me the meaning of the word diet?
Barry: It means women not eating so lose weight.
Moore: Well, men can diet too and that is only one meaning of the word.Who can tell me the original meaning?
Kevin: I think it means eating in general, especially what you eat and when you eat it.
Moore: Exactly! Very good. Kevin.
