Abstract

The issue of sexual education for adolescents is relevant because, due to the lack of meaningful information about the consequences of intimate relationships between a man and a woman, adolescents learn the specifics of such relationships through their own, not always successful, experience, and receive the necessary information from friends and through Internet resources. In particular, the lack of effective sexual education programs for adolescents leads to the formation of distorted ideas about gender-role behavior, and is also one of the factors in lowering the age of sexual initiation. The article notes that the goal of sex education is to form in adolescents a responsible attitude towards intimate relationships, their own reproductive health, and to provide them with scientific and unbiased information that will help them make informed, informed decisions related to their sexual life. The authors define models of sexual education (liberal model; repressive model; "golden mean" model), identify the main challenges that complicate the implementation of quality sexual education for adolescents (disruption of the education system due to war, psycho-emotional stress and traumatic experiences, lack of a systematic state policy in the field of sexual education, growth of risky behavior and threats to reproductive health), emphasize that changing attitudes is much more difficult than the level of knowledge about patterns of sexual behavior of adolescents, and therefore it is worth paying attention to such components of the implementation of sexual education as: knowledge, awareness, attitude, confidence in the ability to change behavior, skills and abilities, behavior.
