INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
An
important but most undermined phenomenon that has plagued for sex and sex education.
Numerous definitions and interpretations have been advanced by all faced of
human society without excavating the eliminating problems associated with it.
In
this chapter, the researcher intends to have an over view of the menologies
associated with sex before dealing with the scope of this study.
The
term sex gives beyond the realm of sex organs, instructions and act of sex
organs as individuals are made to believe to make a breakthrough in the life of
human relation among and between sex partners.
Sex
education is the instruction about sex and human sexuality. Sex is an important
effect on the human life of an individual and almost everyone in the society
including children wants to know about it. Traditionally, children are not
supposed to receive information about sex at all. They many a time, learn about
sex through their friends, books, television, pornographic films either from
the magazines or internets and sex movies.
Correct and factual information should be given to teenagers about the sudden
development in their bodies. During this period, the girls develop breast,
menstruation starts, pelvic borne broadens these starts at the age of eleven to
twelve years and in the boys between fourteen to fifteen years. The sexual
organs mature the widening of the chest and enlargement of the lynx which
causes breaking of the voice.
The
teen periods are very crucial in the life of the individual. Many distractions
may occur during this stage such as school drop out, sexual immorality juvenile
delinquency to mention but a few are all problems evolving from physical,
social, cognitive and mental development. However, sex education has generally
being masked in giggles and silent matters.
Children should be given adequate information’s about sex. Gone are the days
when sexual matters were hidden from them.
Many
school pupils in Nigeria suffer from insufficient sex education in their homes
because parents are inadequate in this respect, school pupils have to rely on
their friend’s initiative and whatever they can learn from their friends and
their school masters. Thus hey undergo a great deal of emotional stress and
strain caused by a variety of reasons chief which for the 12 plus groups, may
be problems of ignorant about sex.
Questions posed by the teenagers should be answered by teachers as well as
parents to open a wide range of the communication because silence or lie
telling may cause injury as they assume that the information gathered from the
peers, books or internet are true and also the answers should be contrary to
those books and peers.
Sex
desire can lead to sexual immorality which can result to pregnancy i.e. the
process of procreation or reproduction most teenagers are physically able to
have children but few are ready and responsibilities of marriage or parent hood
most unmarried teenagers who do not have babies can be carried away by their
sexual feelings and emotional desires. This can cause a serious sexual malady
and the psychological problems for them. It can cause an abortion, sexual
transmitted disease (STDS) like HIV/AIDS and so on. Sexual intercourse between
two persons who are not married to each others is considered as a taboo to be
generality of the society and morally wrong among religious groups.
Sex
relationship outside marriage can result in quilts feelings and other
psychological problems for persons involved. It can also cause birth of
unwanted child.
Therefore
sex education should be given at early development stage of the child because
the foundation laid in the early life of the teenagers determines the stability
and propensity of marriage life of an individual in the society.
The
provision of sex education is important because the norms guiding sexual act
has been broken down by the increasing urbanization and the modernization of
social norms. Sex education through parents, teachers or counselors and
educators will not certainly be universal remedy to the social ills, but it
will provide information for improving behavior, establishing personality in
our society. This should be made known to teenagers of both sexes.
