TAKE THE LEAD: Sex Education-Disadvantages of adolescent parenthood

Hello and welcome to “Take the Lead’’ on West Africa Democracy Radio 94.9FM here in Dakar, Senegal……Your youthful program that initiates fascinating conversation about young people in Africa.
My name is Augustine Kollie, your host…
Last week, we discussed Interpersonal relationships and tips for personal growth, and today, we focus our attention on Sex Education-Disadvantages of adolescent parenthood “

Sex education should be provided to all. However, our Priority is given to adolescents because:
They have a maximum sex drive, they form a high risk group, they are eager to get information because of the physical and physiological changes. Also, their common sources of information (misinformation) are their friends, blue films and pornographic literature.

In addition, they are easily influenced and therefore likely to go astray and land in problems of unmarried motherhood, abortions, STD/HIV infections, sexual abuse. And because they are going to be the responsible citizens of tomorrow.

Kindly stick with us as we delve into this important topic of discussion.
However, let’s take you to the Mpape Crushed Rocks. About ten minutes’ drive from the City Centre of Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, and explore that tourist’s dream site with Usman Umar.
