Hello. I am going to be graduating in May from College with a degree in Health Science, Nutrition. I am very interested however in becoming a health teacher. Has anyone been in a similar situation. If so how did you go about getting certified to teach? thanks so much.:)

You usually have to be a licensed health educator to teach health education. Many classroom teachers do intergrate ideas and activities to health, but most states require you to be licensed. This is no different than any other course of study. I would suggest contacting the professional organizations such as the American Association for Health Education [link removed].
I'm wondering how you deal with a girl who is being teased because she's not as skinny as the other girls in her class. What has worked for you? What hasn't worked? Girls are sneaky about how they tease and bully. No tolerance? Have them work it out themselves?

I am a student teacher and haven't had much experience in the classroom yet, but I just took a course learning about childhood obesity and low esteem in the classroom. I think it would be beneficial to pull those girls whom are bullying aside and talk to them about their behavior. Make it know that it is not acceptable. If you are unable to do that you could also try and be an encouragement to the heavier child. You have a great influence in your kids lives and hearing words of affirmation can build great confidence.

It is called Book of Odds and its mission is to be world’s first reference on the odds of everyday life. It is a destination where people come to learn about the things that worry or excite them, to read engaging and thoughtful articles, and to participate in a community of users that share their interests and ambitions.
Hopefully health teachers will use the site to relate common (and uncommon) health risks to to their students in a way that students can relate to, engage with, and enjoy.
For instance, Book of Odds states that, "The odds a female will ever be diagnosed with breast cancer are 1 in 8.28 (US, 2004 - 2006)."
This could be used this month when teaching your students about breast cancer awareness.
