💙 The man doesn’t know that there is a snake underneath. The woman doesn’t know that there is a stone crushing the man. The woman thinks: “I am going to fall! And I can’t climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can’t the man use a little more strength and pull me up!” The man thinks: “I am in so much pain! Yet I’m still pulling you as much as I can! Why don’t you try and climb a little harder!?”

The moral is— you can’t see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can’t see the pain you’re in. This is life, whether it’s with work, family, feelings or friends, we should try to understand each other. Learn to think differently, perhaps more clearly and communicate better. A little thought and patience goes a long way. 💙

Cervical cancer screening is used to find changes in the cells of the cervix that could lead to cancer.

In the past, a Pap test to screen for cervical cancer was recommended for girls after they had been sexually active for 3 years, or at age 21, whichever came first. But the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Cancer Society now recommend that all women have their first screening at age 21, regardless of when sexual activity starts.

Sexually active adolescents are at high risk for infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). This is the virus that causes most cervical cancers, as well as other types of cancer. But research has shown that their bodies are able to clear the virus within 1 to 2 years. Even though teen girls may have precancerous cervical lesions from HPV, these usually go away on their own.

By delaying a first Pap test until age 21, teen girls can avoid unnecessary invasive procedures to treat HPV precancers. Women between the ages of 21 and 29 should have a Pap test every 3 years, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Cancer Society. Talk to a healthcare provider about the schedule that is best for you.

It is recommended that teens get the HPV vaccination. This vaccine is highly effective in protecting men and women from the types of HPV that can cause cancer.
