Sexual Health Awareness

Read each scenario and answer using respectful, non-judgemental language. You do not need to share personal experiences. You may write about what a person could do instead. Sexual health services can give confidential advice; ask a provider how confidentiality works for you.

Consent and relationships

Consent is a freely given, informed and specific agreement. It must be ongoing: anyone can change their mind. Silence, pressure, uncertainty or being unable to make a choice are not consent.

1.Tevita and Alex are deciding whether to kiss. Alex says, “I’m not sure.” What is the safest and most respectful response?

Ask repeatedly until Alex agrees.
Pause and say that is completely okay; do not continue unless Alex freely says yes.
Assume Alex agrees because they have kissed before.

2.During an activity, one person says, “Stop, I’ve changed my mind.” Write two immediate actions the other person should take.

3.A friend says they are questioning who they are attracted to and do not want a label yet. What is a supportive response, and what should you avoid doing?

Contraception and STI knowledge

Different contraception methods suit different people. A health professional can explain options and help someone choose. Condoms reduce the risk of many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy, but no method is perfect.

4.Match each method to its description by writing the correct letter beside each number.

A. External condom
B. Contraceptive implant
C. Copper IUD
D. Emergency contraceptive pill (ECP)

3. A non-hormonal device placed in the uterus by a trained health professional; can also be used as emergency contraception.
1. A small flexible device placed in the arm by a trained health professional; provides long-acting contraception.
4. A pill taken after unprotected sex or contraceptive failure; seek advice promptly because timing matters.
2. A barrier worn during sex; helps reduce pregnancy risk and the risk of many STIs.

5.Wiremu and Hana had sex without a condom and are worried about pregnancy. Name two sensible next steps they could take, without assuming they have made a particular decision.

6.True or false: An STI can sometimes have no noticeable symptoms, so feeling well does not always mean a person has no STI.

TrueFalse

7.Someone notices unusual symptoms and is worried about an STI. Give two helpful actions they could take and one thing they should avoid.

Stereotypes, safety and support

Gender stereotypes are broad assumptions about how people should look, behave or feel. They can limit everyone. People deserve respect regardless of their gender or sexuality.

8.A group says, “Boys shouldn’t talk about feeling anxious.” Explain why this is a stereotype and give one practical way someone could challenge it respectfully.

9.A person feels pressured to do something intimate and wants help in New Zealand. Name two possible sources of support and explain one way to get urgent help if they are in immediate danger.

10.A friend tells you they may have been pressured into sexual activity. Write a supportive first response and one next step that respects their choices.

11.Complete this practical support plan for a fictional young person: one trusted person they could approach, one New Zealand service or website they could contact, and one question they could ask a health professional about contraception or STI testing.
