Essay- The Roots to Teens Making Their Own DecisionsVincent Foong
Teenagers face many problems as they transition from childhood to adulthood including underage pregnancy, peer pressure, and substance abuse. During puberty, teens experience physical and mental changes that can negatively impact their self-esteem. Peer influence can also affect teen behavior and lead them to engage in risky acts. Family dynamics additionally play a role, as teens from dysfunctional families may suffer from poor mental health and engage in dangerous behaviors. Overall, teenagers would benefit from guidance on dealing with problems, understanding consequences, and making safe decisions during this developmental period.

A comparative study on uroculturome antimicrobial susceptibility in apparentl...Bhoj Raj Singh
The uroculturome indicates the profile of culturable microbes inhabiting the urinary tract, and it is often required to do a urine culture to find an effective antimicrobial to treat UTIs. This study targeted to understand the profile of culturable pathogens in the urine of apparently healthy (128) and humans with clinical UTIs (161). In urine samples from UTI cases, microbial counts were 1.2×104 ± 6.02×103 colony-forming units (cfu)/ mL, while in urine samples from apparently healthy humans, the average count was 3.33± 1.34×103 cfu/ mL. In eight samples (six from UTI cases and two from apparently healthy people) of urine, Candida (C. albicans 3, C. catenulata 1, C. krusei 1, C. tropicalis 1, C. parapsiplosis 1, C. gulliermondii 1) and Rhizopus species (1) were detected. Candida krusei was detected only in a single urine sample from a healthy person and C. albicans was detected both in urine of healthy and clinical UTI cases. Fungal strains were always detected with one or more types of bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria were more commonly (OR, 1.98; CI99, 1.01-3.87) detected in urine samples of apparently healthy humans, and Gram -ve bacteria (OR, 2.74; CI99, 1.44-5.23) in urines of UTI cases. From urine samples of 161 UTI cases, a total of 90 different types of microbes were detected and, 73 samples had only a single type of bacteria. In contrast, 49, 29, 3, 4, 1, and 2 samples had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 types of bacteria, respectively. The most common bacteria detected in urine of UTI cases was Escherichia coli detected in 52 samples, in 20 cases as the single type of bacteria, other 34 types of bacteria were detected in pure form in 53 cases. From 128 urine samples of apparently healthy people, 88 types of microbes were detected either singly or in association with others, from 64 urine samples only a single type of bacteria was detected while 34, 13, 3, 11, 2 and 1 samples yielded 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and seven types of microbes, respectively. In the urine of apparently healthy humans too, E. coli was the most common bacteria, detected in pure culture from 10 samples followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus (9), S. intermedius (5), and S. aureus (5), and similar types of bacteria also dominated in cases of mixed occurrence, E. coli was detected in 26, S. aureus in 22 and S. haemolyticus in 19 urine samples, respectively. Gram +ve bacteria isolated from urine samples' irrespective of health status were more often (p, <0.01) resistant than Gram -ve bacteria to ajowan oil, holy basil oil, cinnamaldehyde, and cinnamon oil, but more susceptible to sandalwood oil (p, <0.01). However, for antibiotics, Gram +ve were more often susceptible than Gram -ve bacteria to cephalosporins, doxycycline, and nitrofurantoin. The study concludes that to understand the role of good and bad bacteria in the urinary tract microbiome more targeted studies are needed to discern the isolates at the pathotype level.

30. Cutting
20-25% of adolescent girls and
10-14% of adolescent boys
report self injury
Bully and sexual trauma are
seen as drivers for self injury
LGBTQ+ teens are twice as
likely to self injure
31. Self Injury
Is a way in which teens struggling with their own emotions can
find relief in suffering and emotional pain
Soothes emotions that often originate from feeling poorly
understood in family, friendships, relationships, interpersonal strife
Have the capacity to become habitual
Can increase in severity or frequency when self injury susessfully
helps to manage suffering
Often a behavior that accompanies psychological diagnosis
Jim Holsomback M.A., McLean Hospital
32. Self -Injury in General is
not
A Direct Path to Suicide
Successfully Treated by Medicine ( therapy and support more successful in treating
A cry for help-often initial incidents of self injury are done without others knowing
A painful way to punish or engage others
KNOWTHAT
If a child had a better way to self regulate they would
Don’t let shame prevent anyone from getting treatment
Parents benefit from support groups as well
33. Parent Talk:
How to Respond
BE CALM- Easier said then
done - Your teen is
communicating which is great-
Do Not Overreact
Shut UP and LISTEN!
FOCUS ON GOALS - provide
professional help
PUNISHMENT IS A POOR
AGENT OF CHANGE
34. Bullying
Direct - bullying that occurs in the
presence of another youth
Indirect-spreading rumors etc
Four types- physical, verbal, relational
(hurting reputations) and damage to
property
Cyberbullying - 9% of students grades
61-12
15% of HS students say they have been
electronically cyperbullied
55.2% of LGBTQ report cyberbullying

Between 1-4 US students say they have been bullied
28% if US students grade 6-12
20% of US students 9-12

70.4 % of staff, 62% witnessed bullying 2 or more times
When bystanders intervene , bullying stops within 10 sec 57% of the time
Most bullying happens in middle school
Children who are perceived as different are more likely to be bullied
Bullies - children who are aggressive easily frustrated. have less parental involvement, think badly of
others, have difficulty following rules, view violence in a positive way, have friends who bully others
36. The More We Know
There is not a single profile of a young person involved
in bullying
Disconnect between adults and youth-Adults don’t know
exactly what to do about bullying
Most bullying takes place in schools or online and cell
phones
37. Respond to Bullying
Do Intervene-Its ok to ask an adult for help
Separate kids involved
Make sure all are sake
Tend to any immediate medical mental health needs
Stay Calm
38. Bullying and Suicide
The relationship between bullying and suicide is complex
It is not accurate and potentially dangerous to present bullying as cause
or reason for suicide
Media should NOT use word “BULLYCIDE”
Persistent bullying can lead to isolation, rejection, exclusion and despair
Vast majority of teens who are bullied do not become suicidal
Most young people who die by suicide have multiple risk factors-
Some youth (LGBTQ) are at increased risk for suicide without bullying
39. Avoid These Common
Mistakes
Do not ignore-thinking kids can work out on their own
Don’t immediately try to sort out the facts
Don’t force kids to say publicly what they saw
Don’t question kids in front of other kids
Don’t talk to kids involved together, talk separately
Don’t make kids involved or patch up relationships on the spot.
If a weapon is involved, threats of physical harm, serious bodily harm, sexual
abuse, anyone accused of an illegal act such as robbery or extortion using force
to get money, property or services immediately get medical and police help
40. Prevention

Keep communication Open-
speak to a trusted adult
Encourage Kids to Do what
they Love
