Parents and guardians should be the primary sexuality educators of their children. As
with other complex issues, many parents may need support, resources, and expertise from
schools and other organizations. It is important that young people receive age-appropriate
sexual health information and develop practical skills for keeping healthy. Educators can

parents have discussed issues regarding sexuality with their children according to the poll
“Let’s Talk: Are Parents Tackling Crucial Conversations about Sex?”. However, these
results are not as promising as they seem. Seventy four percent of parents have discussed
saying no with their teens, but only 60 percent have talked about birth control. Even if
teens decide to remain celibate until after high school, they should still be educated about
birth control for the future. Even more concerning, despite the fact that 94 percent of
parents feel they have the power to influence their teen’s sexual choices, 57 percent of
parents are uncomfortable having discussions about these issues with their kids. Why are so
uncomfortable discussing sex. This is understandable; our society does not take kindly to
open discussions about sexuality, especially not with children. But parents’ choice to stay
silent often passes their own discomfort around sex on to their children, who in turn will
propagate the cycle of secrecy and guilt. However, the most common answer that I’ve
received when asking parents the reason for their secrecy is fear of shattering a child’s
innocence (Wolpe, Samanta). (year, no first name anymore) Apelyido then close
Perhaps the answer lies in what the child, who will grow into a teenager, might do with
that knowledge. This trepidation, which is similar to the panic that drives fear-based
discussing sex with their kids. Maybe parents believe if they don’t mention sex until they
are much older, the child will never think about sex, and then will never do it. (no citation)
The outcome of creating an environment where sex is taboo is that teens learn to distrust
their parents, become secretive, and even fearful when it comes to sexuality. Furthermore,
restricting information about how to have safe sex has been shown to increase rates of
teenage pregnancy and STIs, as explained in Youtuber Laci Green’s video “A is for
Abstinence.” Telling children pretty lies about procreation may have undesirable results. A
study conducted at MIT found that children distrust adults who lie or deliberately withhold
information, an attitude that can be dangerous when children grow into teens and need
someone to turn to for guidance. How can teens be expected to talk with their parents about
sex, or even to trust their parents with sensitive information, if parents make it clear that
as false or harmful information gleaned from peers, neglect of protective measures, and

Research Literature
In the Philippines there are some studies found which is slightly related to the present
Salome Amboy (1978) studied the curricular offerings in Health 1 on value clarification
in sex education for the first year students in the Philippine Normal College. After a try out
test on freshmen not included in the final administration, the questionnaires were
distributed to the first year college students of the Philippine Normal college, during the
last week of February of the school year 1976-1977. To avoid disclosure of identity, the
students were told not to write their names and thus they could write freely their true and
honest answers. There were 170 questionnaires given out and all were returned.
The sources of information were about love, sex and marriage. Their basic reading
materials and stories of friends were their basic sources of information on sex. Also found
out that classroom instruction provided additional sex information but in limited degree.
The least percentage was information from movies and televisions. This findings showed
that adolescent students were not getting adequate information at school on sex topics
which they had a need of an interest in knowing. It was the concern of the home, school
school should make sex education widely available to pupils and students, and the church
should supplement what the home and the school cannot disseminate.
If the young had frank and direct sex education, they would better prepared to meet the

healthy habits of living and moral values. Therefore, the Department of Education
In connection with this, in late 2007, UNESCO began a programme of work on sexuality
education, primarily as a platform for strengthening HIV prevention efforts with children
and young people but also to address broader sexual and reproductive health objectives,
such as the prevention of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unintended
pregnancies. Their work was guided by recommendations from a Global Advisory Group
on Sexuality Education, which identified the need to work in the following areas: establish
international standards on sexuality education; document good practice; analyze the cost
with the sexual behavior and methods used but what it differs is that this study involved the
adolescents with limited study of first year students of Philippine Normal College while
this present study involves the limited study among grade 8 students of Sta. Josefa National
High School that focuses on their perception on sex education as part of the curriculum
under the K-12 educational system using different content of questionnaire from the past
studies conducted.
