QUESTIONNAIRE
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.

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,

developmental stage because the foundation laid in the early life of the
children with determine the stability and quality of their married life.

parents, teachers, counselors and educators. It should also be introduced into
