INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Numerous
definitions and interpretations have been advanced by all sectors of human
society without an agreeable definition.
In
this chapter, the researcher intends to have an over view of the terminology
associated with sex before dealing with the scope of this study.
The
term sex goes 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 anatomic
development in their bodies. During this period, the girls develop breast,
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 teenager’s stage or periods are very crucial in the life of the individual.
Many frustrations may occur during this stage such as school dropout, 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 hush-hush silent matters.
Children should be given adequate information’s about sex. Gone are the days
when sexual matters were hidden from children. Questions posed by the teenagers
should be answered by teachers to open a wide range of the communication
because silence or lie telling may cause injury as they assume that 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 parenthood
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 and so on. Sexual intercourse between two persons who are
not married to each other 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 children.
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.
