Abstract

 This review article focuses on perspective of awareness on healthy sex practice among adolescent through  proper sex education and adoption of sex education in their practical life. Currentinformation shows that adolescents are inadequately informed about their own sexuality, physical wellbeing and their health, the major source of information being the media and peers. Whatever knowledge they have is incomplete. Low rate of educational attainment, limited sex education activities, and inhibited attitudes towards sex, attenuate this ignorance leading to unwanted pregnancy, illegal abortion, mortality and morbidity among young girls. Knowledge based ongender, education, and place of residence with uneducated rural girlshaving the least information.  Adolescents need the opportunity to express positive relationships,  constructive behavior, to learn  skills and acquire knowledge. They need access to information counselingand services that will  help them to establish healthy relationship and protect themselves fromunwanted pregnancy and STDs.
