SEXUAL AGGRESSIVENESS AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE
Sexual aggression is defined as a person engaging in sexual behaviour with someone

who does not or cannot consent to engage in that behaviour (Basile & Saltzman, 2002). Sexual
aggression is a major problem that affects young people all the world and poses a grave threat
to their sexual development and well-being (Vanwesenbeeck, 2008). It violates young people’s
right to sexual self-determination and thus represents a serious human rights violation.
Mostly young people became sexually aggressive due to conflicting messages (media vs.
parents)-- lack of body knowledge; culture diversity; changes in the organisation; young
people’s impulsiveness; social pressure sensitivity; gender stereotypes sensitivity; widespread
internet use. Such factors will lead to negative impact to young people’s well-being, more
especially as today’s generation different online sites has been arisen that continues to
influenced young people. (Online sites like pornography, etc.)
Sexual aggression has been the major problem, in order to prevent the arising of this
issue, young people must put their attentions to their social status for good and do not let
technologies surrounded them for worst. There are many factors to prevent sexual
aggressiveness, but for me, just widen your perception to certain things that might harm you
and be aware and knowledgeable enough. These factors will be effective with the guidance of
your family, always seek for their guidance so will lead you to right path.
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT USE OF CONTRACEPTIVES

Nowadays, many cases of teenage pregnancy and it is yearly increases, mostly of them
are not yet ready for responsibilities that lead to abortion which is very sinful doing. In order to
decrease this kind of cases, people must be aware and oriented with family planning like, by
using such kind of contraceptives.
What is contraceptives? Contraceptive is a device or drug serving to prevent pregnancy.
The contraceptives are built in three important ways—either sperm blocking, sperm
impairment or ovulation suppressing until they reach uterus. It reduces the need for abortion
by preventing unwanted pregnancies. Also by the use of contraceptives, it lets people plan or
helps women plan their pregnancies so they can make sure the baby is getting the best
treatment before and after birth. There are many contraceptives that are applicable, however,
be cautious because there are side effects specifically in oral contraceptives, but still you can
benefited.
Therefore, contraceptives really helpful to prevent unsafe abortion. Other than that, it
reduces the population growth. I must say, these kinds of, awareness, information and
knowledge about using contraceptives must be spread out more especially to teenagers, to
really prevent the increasing of people who faced pregnancy-related risks, one of the leading
causes of maternal death worldwide. And also, an efficient contraception allows mother and
children to minimize morbidity and mortality, improves women social and economic status and
strengthen mother and all children’s ties.
PUBERTY AND SURGE OF HORMONES

Puberty refers to changes in the sexually mature adult body that children experience.
Although these changes are largely physical, deep mental, emotional and social changes arise as
young people transition to mature bodies. In girls and 10-12 years of age in boys, usually this
explosion in hormones, which signals the end of infancy and puberty, starts at the age of nine
or ten. In other thought both are the process of physical development and sexual maturation
phase that marks the end of childhood and the advent of adolescence.
In this stage of development both boys and girls will grow taller and become weighted
and weighty. Girls will begin to have menstrual cycles and will grow larger breasts and broader
hips. Whilst boys will develop larger sex organs and can ejaculate (release of sperm). Also this
will naturally increase teenagers’ interest in peers they’re attracted to, and some young people
look forward to dating. It is unavoidable for young people to think about sex with all these teen
hormones racing through their blood stream. Sexuality learning is an important part of our
childhood. But it should be undesirable to think about sex or receive an STD. In this stage,
teenagers are mostly curious about such thing that needs guidance from their parents.
Teenagers must be knowledgeable enough to slowly adapt and learn things during
adolescent. And also parents should promote open sexuality conversations and as honestly as
possible answer questions. Every family has its own beliefs and convictions of adolescent sexual
activity. The main thing is to express these convictions clearly and to always keep the prospect
of talking open.
SEX EDUCATION
Sex education refers to formal teaching programs on a wide range of human sexuality
issues, including human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, sexual intercourse, reproductive
health, emotional relationships, reproductive rights and duties, abstinence, contraception, and
other human aspects.
Sex education brings awareness to students more particularly to young people. When
young people grow up, they face major decisions about relationships, sexuality and sexual
behaviors. For the rest of our lives, the choices we make will affect our health and well-being.
We have the right to lead healthier lives, and by providing with meaningful sexual health
education that gives us the resources we need to make healthy choices, and our society is
responsible for educating us as young people. However, programs are not enough to include
abstinence and contraception discussions to aid youth in avoiding unintentional pregnancy or
illness. Comprehensive education in sexual health needs to do more. It should provide honest
and age-specific information and skills to help young people assume personal responsibility and
well-being in general.
Thus, sex education can allow young persons with learning disabilities to control
themselves and discourage others from sexually abusing them. And allows students and
teenagers to have realization of what may happen if they engage in sexual intercourse.
