Health Education Assessment Binge Drinking Expo

Health Education Assessment Binge Drinking is a task we were instructed to do for Health Class, to study binge drinking and alcohol and represent what we have learned in an expo. We presented our expos in groups of 3 or 4 and these expos were designed to be entertaining to present to the class what and all things related to binge drinking. At our expo, my group decided to make a presentation about binge drinking in the form of the famous game show “Family Feud.” This game show is designed to teach people about binge drinking and get people to think or last resorts guess the most common symptoms, how to keep safe, etc, things about binge drinking.

I’m very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.

What were the most significant things you learned while completing this task?

There are so many things I learned while working with my group on this Binge Drinking Health Assessment. While working with my group, I learned how to delegate all the tasks and be able to communicate with my groups more easily. When working on the tasks it was always very interesting to have so many different ideas from everyone and to be able to share all these amazing ideas and collaborate to make something great was fantastic. I learned a lot more about Binge Drinking and all the side effects, dangers, and consequences. There were sometimes when it was hard to think of ideas to do in the expo and be able to come to an idea conclusively as a group, but our group handled the task extremely well and maturely (without any help). We worked efficiently, with no problems. We made sure to give each other tasks to do during the class, and if you didn’t finish the task during the class we would make sure we added it to our homework to make sure we finished on time. We went back on our work and check thoroughly, all of us made sure we did the work but most importantly understood everything we were doing and writing. I feel like my collaboration skills improved during this assessment.

What one piece of advice would you pass on to young teenagers above all else? Why?

It does get better. I mean I don’t know what you go through, and I haven’t experienced something so bad that I can’t live through the toughness of life without drinking my sorrows away, so to be honest I don’t think I deserve to be giving you advice. To all those kids who haven’t binged drank yet and are concerned about the topic, one piece of advice I would give you is to just don’t. Life must get tough, but life is worth it enough not to binge drink. Life is too short to throw your life away by binge drinking, binge drinking may take away your pain for a brief moment, but your sorrows will always come back no matter what. That may be hard to hear, but binge drinking is not a solution, it is just a temporary disguise, while you soak in the negative emotions. Don’t binge drink, just don’t do it.

Write down a pledge that you will commit to if you start drinking alcohol (at the legal age of 18 years). Why did you pick these things to commit to? How will you stick to these commitments?

I pledge that I will never ever drink alcohol. Alcohol can be life-threatening and can damage your body in fatal ways. I have always understood since I was younger that alcohol is something I never want to take, and I hope and strive to keep this mindset. This lesson has taught me that I should not intake alcohol ever in my whole life. Do the right thing for not only your health but also your safety, and always say ‘no’ to alcohol.

I picked these commitments as they are helpful to remember and will help me be in control of situations when I may be susceptible to being taken advantage of. These rules will keep me and others safe. I will stick to these commitments because I know how abominable alcohol can be for people, especially when you think you can help it. I know I will look back on this pledge and be grateful that I chose to keep alcohol out of my life for good.
