1- Mumps is a viral disease that infects the parotid salivary glands. There is
a high fever often to 41.1 degrees celsius, with shaking chills, headache,

nausea and vomiting. If the fever goes above 39.4 degrees Celsius, bring
it down using acetaminophen.

2- Measles, also called rubella, is best known for its typical skin rash. The
first symptoms are irritability, runny nose, eyes that are red and sensitive
to light , hacking cough, and a fever as high as 40.6 degrees. Measles is
prevented by a vaccine that can be given before, or within 3 days after
exposure to the disease.

CHOLERA
Cholera is a bacterium (Vibrio cholera) that attacks the intestines,
causing diarrhea in about 5 percent of those infected. Sometimes quite
severe, the diarrhea and subsequent loss of fluids can cause people to
go into shock, and die. Each year about 120,000 cases of cholera are
reported to the World Health Organization from 50 countries. The
cholera bacteria may be present in contaminated food, water or
shellfish. Cholera is common in the following countries or regions:
India, Africa, Indonesia and Iran among others.
Cholera is treated with a vaccine. Once injected into the body, the
killed cholera bacteria cause an immune response against cholera, but,
because the bacteria are killed, they don't cause the disease.
Unfortunately, the cholera vaccine is only about 50 percent effective at
preventing cholera in people who are exposed to the bacteria. Side
effects are generally mild and include pain or swelling in the area of
the shot. Headache, fever and fatigue also may occur.

Asthma
Shannon's classmates were staring at her. She was in the middle of a physical
education class when "it" started to happen. She started to cough and wheeze. Her
chest tightened. She felt out of breath. She froze. She needed help. The nurse was
called into the gym.
After Shannon took her medicine she felt better. However, she had just suffered from
an asthma attack in front of her friends. They had questions. The attack had scared

them.
The next day Shannon spoke with her teacher. She wanted to
explain to the class what had happened. Her teacher thought this
was an excellent idea and even invited Mrs. Riley, the school
nurse, to help.
Shannon told her classmates she had asthma. She said about three million kids in the
United States have it.
Mrs. Riley asked the children if any of them had allergies. Some of the children raised
their hands. One was allergic to cats. They made her eyes water. Another was allergic
to pollen. It made him sneeze.
Mrs. Riley explained that when a person has an allergy, the body's immune system
tries to get rid of whatever the foreign substance is (cat, pollen, dust, etc.) by sneezing,
etc.

The Changes of Adolescence

The rapid changes of adolescence start gradually, from around eleven for girls, thirteen
for boys.

Girls start these changes before boys and will, for the first three or four

years, appear to be maturing much faster. After this, boys became equal.
With the speed of these changes, some adolescents become very concerned about
their physical appearance. Also, they may need a lot of support, especially if they are
not growing or maturing as quickly as their friends.
At this age, girls have their first period and boys voices break. Also, boys start
shaving. All this growth and development uses a lot of energy and this may be why
teenagers often seem to need so much sleep.

TYPES OF FAMILIES
Nuclear Family
A nuclear family consists of a mother, father, and their biological or adoptive
descendants, often called the traditional family. The nuclear family was most
popular in the 1950s and 60s. The nuclear family can be a nurturing
environment in which to raise children as long as there is love, time spent
with children, emotional support, low stress, and a stable economic
environment. In nuclear families, both adults are the biological or adoptive
parents of their children.
Single Parent Family
One of the most striking changes in family structure over the last twenty
years has been the increase of single parent families. In this family there is
only one parent in the household raising the children. Due to high divorce
rates and adults choosing not to marry, this is currently the fastest growing
family form in North America. More than half of all children will spend some
of their lives in a single-parent family. Currently, 88 percent of these families
are headed by women.
Extended Family
An extended family is two or more adults from different generations of a
family, who share a household. It consists of more than parents and
children; it may be a family that includes parents, children, cousins, aunts,
uncles, grandparents, foster children etc. The extended family may live
together for many reasons, help raise children, support for an ill relative, or
help with financial problems. Sometimes children are raised by their
grandparents when their biological parents have died or no longer can take
care of them. Many grandparents take some primary responsibility for child
care, particularly when both parents work. Extended families can be found
all over the world in different communities and countries. The number of
these families has increased by 40 percent in the past ten years. There are
three types of extended families; they are one generation, two generation
and three generation families.
Childless Family
A childless family is simply a group of people from all kinds of backgrounds
and all walks of life who, for whatever reason, have never had children.

More types of families

Step family or blended family:

This families are generally created by

divorces and remarriage . In this family biological unrelated children often

live in the same house.
Adopted family: When a couple decides to adopt a boy or girl.
Foster family:

Children live with this kind of family by decision of court

while their parents resolve their problems.

Costa Rican Family vs United States Family

Costa Rica
Its a small country with Spanish heritage.
A family is composed by the parents and children. Not
necessarily both, father and mother are part of the nuclear
family.
Up to 3-4 children
Because the distances are very short, there are more chances
to have extended family members living together or very
close to each other.
Children are allowed to live home until they finish studying
and have a career, get married or decide to move out.
Family members are able to get together more often, for
example on weekends and holidays because they live close.

United States
Its a big country with European heritage.
A family is composed by the parents and children. Not
necessarily both, father and mother are part of the nuclear
family.
Up to 2-3 children
Because the distances are very long, it is more difficult that
extended family members live together or close to each other.
Children often leave home after finishing high school since
college may be more than 1000 miles away from home.
Family members try to get together mostly for holidays,
because some might live in different states and need to catch
a plane.
