7th Grade Health Class Topics
My 12 year old has a Health class in 7th grade. I've never had "Health" before so I asked the teacher for the syllabus. Here is what is included:
- Nutrition
- Body Systems
- Physical Fitness
- Suicide
- First Aid
- Sexuality
- Drugs & Alcohol
I'm curious to know what exactly they will be teaching for Sexuality. I would imagine that during these classes, a lot of kids will be wearing red faces.
My daughter is already certified through the Red Cross for CPR/First Aid so that part of the class should be just a refresher for her.

Hi I'm a 7th grade girl that's 12 and I have health and in the sexuality part u learn about both female and male reproductive systems and that was like really embarrassing
My daughter is on those exact topics this week and she said all the girls were embarrassed and scooting down in their seats to hide. It certainly prompts a lot of questions from her at home to explain things.
Well though I had health class. (I am a tenth grader) I took Health in 9th and most of us took it very maturely. Everyone was pretty calm about it. I think it is because most of us had already had that talk with our parents (I had it when I was 9, but knew some things before) so it is very important to make sure your child understands. It shouldn't be embarrassing because it is fact and important to understand this. My mom put a video from the library since I was nine...it also explained about how the voice regulates, etc. I suggest you do whatever your child will be most comfortable with. We also learned about diseases in Health class to...I had to do a project on Dengue Fever and another one on STDs/STIs. Hope that helped to clear some things.
