And this aspect is one of the most serious problems not only in teenager but also in adult of our society. So we decide to do this project to research more information about this problem. There is nothing new about teenage sex. In the past, however, it was largely confined to married teenagers and thus was not considered a problem. But today, teenagers are much likely than in the past to get married. At least until the last few years, the proportion of teenagers who have sex rose steadily, and they are more likely to use contraceptives than their earlier counterparts. Condoms use has risen also, probably because of the fear of AIDS and the increasing sexual activity. Sex is natural for most teens to become aware of as they move through the various stages of adolescence but it’s often something that can be of great concern to parents who
