CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
An important but most undermined phenomenon that has ploughed the society for
many years is sex and sex education. This phenomenon is so complicated that
people have different view about it. These differences bring tolerance in
sexuality among some while it creates problems in some other ethnic groups
where discussion of sex is a taboo.
In society where boys and girls
into the same school, create problem of physical contact and emotional
involvement, which eventually result in arousing sexuality. This anxiety
created in them; make them jump into this game of uncontrollable emotion.
In this chapter, the researcher intends to have an overview of terminologies
associated with sex before dealing with the scope pf the study. Sex
education is the instruction about sex and human sexuality which children re
supposed to receive but many parents do not instruct their children about sex
at all.
Correct and relevant information should be given to teenagers about the changes
and development they observe in their bodies during the period of maturity.
There girls develop breast and pelvic bone broaden etc. these start about the
age of twelve years {12} while the boys sexual organs matures, their chest
widens and their larynx enlarges. This period in teenagers is very crucial in
the life of an individual and many frustrations may occur during this stage
such as school drop out, sexual immorality, juveniles delinquencies to mention
a few.
Gone are those days when sexual matter was hidden from children. They are
expected to be given information about sex so as to break through the desire in
them so that they will not go astray.
Sex desire can lead to sexual
immorality which can result to unwanted pregnancy. Most unmarried teenagers who
have babies are carried away by sexual feeling and emotional desire. This can
lead to abortion, sexually transmitted disease and so on.
Religious groups and a taboo to the generality of the society consider sexual
intercourse between two persons who are not married wrong. It can result to
unwanted child, psychological problem for person involved.
Therefore sex education should be
given to children at any developmental stage because the foundation laid in the
early life of the children with determine the stability and quality of their
married life.
Sex education should be given to
the teenagers through their parents, teachers, counselors and educators. It
should also be introduced into secondary schools for teenagers of both sexes
with this introduction alone, a lot of changes will occur in the life of the
students, parents and the community at large.
