Hello, I'm Cynthia, I am 15, and I have a few friends who are either EMS's, Fire Fighter's, or EMT's/Paramedics. I talked to a few of them, about their job, and they told me its a fun field. I'm a freshman in Highschool, and I'm enrolling into a Club, called "Sports Medicine", inquiring to grab students who want to attend into a Medical Health career. For me, I want to be an EMT, not only because I like to help people, but aswell, for my own safety. I'm a very accident prone teen age girl. I was wondering if you had any tips or heads up on the field. Much appriciated, thank you.

Welcome.

Be sure and get a great education. Take advanced science classes. Make sure and get college level A&P 1&2 ASAP. Go straight to a Paramedic degree program, many now include basic during 1st semester.

Make sure you get and stay in shape. Avoid sex, drugs, drinking, etc.

Alrighty. Thank you. All I do is Smoke Cigarettes. Why? I don't know, I have alot of family problems, especially with drunk abuse with Mom's boyfriend.

You need to seek help with that. Talk to a school counselor. Get those issues dealt with so you don't carry that baggage around the rest of your life.

Yeah, I know. Although I really don't like seeking help from Counslers and whatnot.Heck, I hate going to hospitals for injuries, which i don't, I normally just talk to my EMT Friends. The only TRUE counsler I have, I'd have to say, is my best friend who is an EMT, Mykel.

If you are being abused and mykel is not helping you by reporting the abuse mykel is not a real friend. Get help then decide what to do with your future.

Mykel prevents it from happening, everytime something goes down, he picks me up from the house. I just resolve it by not seeing her Boyfriend.

Be careful and make sure mykel is not just taking advantage of you. He is legally obligated to report the abuse.

Okay, I do, and will continue. It hasn't been recently though, luckily- Last time something happened that was pretty bad- Was Christmas Day Evening- He owns a pair of Handcuffs, and he put them around my wrists really tightly-practically sprained my wrist, and he was Drunk. But, now, things are going alot more smoothe, and I don't deal with him alot- I live with my father.
