O knihe

Essay from the year 2019 in the subject Sociology - Gender Studies, grade: 3, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (EDUCATION), course: GCE 816, language: English, abstract: This study examines the sexual behaviour of adolescents and youths in Anambra State, Nigeria, and tries to give guidance on how the social and health risks that might come about from such action can be treated.

Sexual behaviour of adolescents and youth are categorized as one of the main health priorities of a society because of high prevalence of HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted Infections. This paper focused on school counselling strategies for resolving disciplinary problems in Nigerian public secondary schools. Students' disciplinary problems are growing at alarming rate prompting the need for effective strategies for curbing them.

Two theories were used in this study, the Gender Schema Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior to explain sex before marriage. Based on the findings it was concluded that sex before marriage is now part of social life of students, Therefore it was recommended that early sex education and campaigsn should be given to children to create awareness on sex before marriage. Those should be carried out by the parents, government and general public to reduce the rate of premarital sex among students in tertiary institutions in Anambra State.
