This is my body!

Everyone has a body. But how well do you know your own body? For example, do you know why and how it changes as you get older?

You can read this and more about the body in the topic of June.

The human body is very complex. Organs, bones, muscles, skin, nerve pathways – everything has a specific task. They are kept running through nutrients from the food. As a child and adolescent, the body is still growing and is constantly changing. Other things change as you get older: you develop your own style and try new things. How much can you decide about your appearance and what can your parents decide about?

The topic "My body" affects several children’s rights. Because you have a right to your own opinion (Article 12). If something doesn’t suit you, you can say no. This is especially true when it comes to protecting you – for example, from violence (Article 19). Take care of your body, because you only have this one! Too much stress, unhealthy eating, too little or too much exercise can make your body sick. Of course, your parents and your family doctor should also ensure that you stay healthy (Article 24). You can learn a lot of interesting things about these topics here!
