ABSTRACT: Adolescence is the evolutionary process
of human development which commences
biologically with changes at the physiology of the
pubis and completes psychologically with the
ultimate organization of sexuality. The increase of
sexual urge in combination with the unfamiliar and
mysterious emotions and thoughts may possibly be
characterized as the most intense occurrence during
the adolescents’ development. All adolescents want
to know more about issues such as copulation,
onanism, conception, pregnancy, birth control and
sexually transmitted diseases. Also, they wish to
know how to place sex within their own frame of
values so that they can be able to establish
satisfactory and constructive relationships. Most
young people however, have very little information
and help on these issues. Proper information on
issues related to sexual behavior could and should
be carried out by health professionals. The health
professionals can take responsibility in the issues of
sexual education of the adolescents in order to
discourage problems such as undesired pregnancies,
sexual diseases and sexual abuse. The same time, the
promotion of adolescent’ sexual health may also be
achieved with better personnel training, better
information and better organization of the health
education services.
