16, 17 years (male) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day and make this a habit for life. Your performance in school and other activities and your ability to finish growing and strengthening will depend on the foods you put into your body. You need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium (milk, yogurt, calcium-fortified orange juice) to support the completion of your bone growth and continued bone strengthening. Also, 2-3 iron-rich foods (iron-fortified cereal, meat, eggs, or green leafy vegetables) a day are recommended to support your blood. Fiber is known to prevent stomach and colon illnesses (such as cancer) and heart disease. By reading food labels and planning ahead you will have more control over your diet. "Junk" foods taste great but can deprive your body of what it really needs and can put on excess weight. Try not to get into eating habits that will be tough to break later on, including eating on the run or in front of the TV. Make a point to eat with your family at least once a day. It's a good time to get together on otherwise busy days. If you are unhappy with your appearance or performance, take a good look at your eating and see what you could change. If you eat well, drink plenty of water, and exercise regularly, your body will look, grow and perform at its' best. If you are concerned about your size or growth, please talk to your health care provider. SLEEP If you find that you need more sleep than you are getting, try to go to bed earlier instead of sleeping in; getting up late can alter your normal body rhythm and make you even more tired during the day and sleepless at night. Also, try not to save all of your "think time" for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Wellness Visits If you find that you need more sleep than you are getting, try to go to bed earlier instead of sleeping in; getting up late can alter your normal body rhythm and make you even more tired during the day and sleepless at night. Also, try not to save all of your "think time" for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt and helmet (when biking or in-line skating), even if no one else does. We see permanent, life-changing injuries resulting from simple accidents, and NO ONE thought it would happen to them. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A good tan is not worth cancer. Take your body seriously. Make the decision not to smoke, take drugs, have sex, drink alcohol, or ride in a car with someone who has been drinking. Practice what you would say if someone pressured you. It only takes one mistake to change your life forever. If you feel you have made a past mistake, remember that you can always re-contract with yourself and make a better decision from now on. If you have questions about sex, HIV or AIDS, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please ask your mom, dad, or doctor or nurse practitioner. Introduce your friends to your family, negotiate your curfew times reasonably, and expect that your parents will want to know where you are (yes, they are still responsible for you). Earn respect and trust by demon-strating that you are responsible and deserving of the privileges you want. Remember that driving is a privilege, not a right. Take this seriously. And in case you didn't know, Minnesota State Law prohibits any driver under the age of 18 to use a cell phone while driving. If you are in sports, make sure the playing areas are kept up well, and all protective equipment fits and is in good shape. Never share head gear. Safety Most teenagers are developing longer-lasting and more personal relationships with others. It is often difficult to balance friends, school, extra activities and family. Prioritize the demands on you, and try to sit and talk with your mom or dad a little every day. You may not always agree on things, but talking about your differences will help you understand each other better. This age can be stressful for teenagers. They can feel the pressure to look for the right college, hang out with the right people, dress in the latest styles, get better grades, get a part-time job, or develop individuality. The future can be an exciting, and scary, thought. If you are finding yourself getting stressed out more than you feel you should or can reasonably handle, please reach out and talk to someone. A friend, parent, favorite teacher or coach, counselor, or health care provider can offer support. Social, Family, & School Most young men have gone through the majority of "puberty" changes by now and will continue to experience height growth and increased body strength and tone (possibly for years). Your comfort with your changed body will increase with time. Most young women are finished with their growth and development by now. Continue to respect other people's privacy and need for space. If you have questions or concerns about your health, body changes or sexuality, please ask your mom or dad or your health care provider here. We look forward to seeing you again for a check-up next year!

18, 19 years (female) Nutrition Try to eat 3 healthy meals a day and make this a habit for life. Your performance in school and at work and even during your free-time activity still depends on your diet. Even if you feel you're done growing, you still need 3-4 foods a day high in calcium to support the completion of your bone density and continued bone strengthening. Also, 2-3 iron-rich foods a day are still recommended to support your blood. Read food labels to see how much fiber you need and how much you are actually getting — fiber is known to prevent colon cancer and heart disease. Avoid the "traps" that often affect people your age out on their own. Junk foods taste great but can deprive your body of what it really needs and can put on the excess weight. Also, avoid habits that will be tough to break later on, such as always eating in a rush or in front of the TV, or eating when stressed or while studying. If you are unhappy with your appearance or performance, take a good look at your eating and see what you could change. There is no vitamin or "energy" supplement nearly as good as just eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and exercising regularly. This becomes even more important if you are a college student or at a job where you feel you are not as active as you used to be (or would like to be). See your dentist every six months for regular cleanings and exams. Wellness Visits Keeping your body on a fairly regular wake/sleep schedule (even on weekends) will help you get the sleep you need. Try not to save all of your "think time" or studying for bedtime — it often delays falling asleep. Sleep Always wear your seatbelt in the car and your helmet when biking or in- line skating. NO ONE thinks an accident will happen to them, and then it does. Wear sunscreen if you are outside. A great tan is not worth cancer. Take your body seriously. Make the decision not to smoke, take drugs, drink alcohol, or ride in a car with someone who has been drinking. Delay sex until you're truly emotionally ready for this step. It only takes one mistake to change your life forever. If you feel you have made a past mistake, remember that you can always re-contract with yourself and make a better decision from now on. If you have questions about sex, HIV, pregnancy, STDs, drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, please talk with another adult whom you trust and respect. If you live away from home and return for a visit, expect that your parents will still want to know where you are and who you're with (yes, they have their own adjustments to make regarding your independence at home!). Remember that driving is a privilege, not a right. You are an adult by law. More injuries occur in unorganized sports ("pick-up games" or "a quick jog") than ever before. Warm-up and stretch well before any exercise. Safety Continue to prioritize your demands — the ones you place on yourself as well as the ones others place on you. You will find that balancing all the parts of your life (including your free time) is the key. Try to talk to your family frequently, even if by phone. This can be a fabulous, and stressful, time. On one hand, increasing independence and decision-making power is great. On the other hand, stresses of school and money, lack of familiar support, and increasing responsibilities and uncertainty can take their toll. If you find yourself getting stressed out more than you feel you should or can reasonably handle, please talk to someone. A friend, parent, favorite professor or coach, counselor, or health care provider can offer support and help. Social, Family, & School Even though you are probably at your adult height, your weight and clothing size may still increase as your body continues to "proportion" itself and strengthen muscles and bones. This is normal. Your periods should be fairly regular (about once a month or so). It is recommended that all young women start having routine pelvic exams at age 18-21 (regardless of sexual history); your health care provider will then check your reproductive system more closely and start screening you for cervical cancer. It is also recommended that you start routine monthly breast exams. We will teach you how to do this. This is a good time to start making your own health appointments as you transition from adolescent to adult care. Be sure you have a copy of your health history (including vaccines) as you move away from home. We are happy to continue seeing you for the next few years if you choose, and we recommend another routine physical next year. Please call with any concerns you have about yourself.
