Take time to find a nice quiet spot,grab earmuffs if you need to.Just lie down and shut your eyes.
Do some yoga or meditate even taking deep breaths might help

Step 2: Compression
If you're having headaches from stress or sickness,chances are your head feels hot.First take a lie down on the couch and sleep for a bit.Take an ice pack or even a damp towel and place it over your forehead,let it sit there while you sleep or watch TV or even read.

Hepatitis B

So everyone in grade 6 or 9 has to have gotten hepatitis B immunizations.
When you have hepatitis B your liver becomes inflamed.
Inside your liver there are functional parts called hepatic lobules,they filter your blood.When your blood cells pass through these functions destroy any harmful substances in your body.
A way to get hepatitis B is by sharing blood with someone who is infected with the virus,it could be by sharing a drug syringe(this is why we don't do drugs people!)
When it enter your body,it invades the liver cells and makes copies of itself.As a response your immune system comes to destroy the virus but it also attacks your liver cells.Later your liver cell become inflamed and then die.When that happens scar tissues form around the dead liver cells and prevents your liver from working properly.
If you have cirrhosis(many scar tissues)it can cause permanent shrinking and prevents proper blood flow

Usually your immune system will remove all the hepatitis B viruses.In children their immune system might not be able to remove the virus.

If you have the virus and your immune army is can't handle it,your doctor might recommend an antiviral medication.
If it's a severe case your doctor may do a liver transplant.

Bullying

Alright alright alright!
So bullying isn't a health problem to the ignorant masses out there.
Actually it is.Not only does it damage the body physically it also damages the body mentally.
The constant mocking and harm is very affective.
It leads to self harm,anxiety,depression and suicidal thoughts
This is why bullying is stupid!!PEOPLE ARE BEING JERKS BECAUSE THEY ARE REALLY COWARDS THAT WANT TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK COOL OR TOUGH!!BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?!THEY'RE THE REAL LOSER!!
Ahh...That's better.Anyway it's really important for kids to tell people,if one adult doesn't help you keep on asking for help someone will always come.
This is why I hate bullying.(Get ready for more capital letters)
KIDS HAVE THE RIGHT TO ENJOY A NICE AND HAPPY LONG LIFE!!YET PEOPLE ARE MAKING THEM REGRET THEY'RE BORN!!WELL TO THOSE PEOPLE!!EAT DIRT BECAUSE THOSE KIDS DESERVE TO HAVE A HAPPY FUTURE WITHOUT YOU JERKS GETTING IN THE WAY!!
So kids stand up for yourself this is not right.
Also here are some ways to treat these things
-tell someone
-if you have suicidal thoughts tell someone they'll help you
-get counciling it's not losing your dignity it's seeking help
-get some anti-depression pills
Stand UP to Bullies!!
