Elaborate your opinion on the following concerns:

1. Sexual aggressiveness among young people. How can these be properly guided?
In large part, violence is mediated by the region known as the amygdala in the brain's older
function. Amygdala is a part of the brain responsible for regulating and responding to our
aggression and anxiety memories. The amygdala has links with other fear-related body systems,
including the sympathetic nervous system, facial reactions, scent absorption, and the activation
of stress-related and aggression-related neurotransmitters. Sexual aggression has been described
as conduct with the intent or consequence of having another person participate in sexual
interaction or sexual contact despite their refusal to do so. Sexual harassment can take several
types, such as different forms of physical and emotional coercion, such as persistent debate of
gender, or derogatory treatment before sex, or threats or abuse, and the use of alcohol or
medication inability to consent. In sexual aggression, there are many grey fields, and there are
many sexual pressures and forms of unwelcome sex that do not fall entirely into the legal
definition of sexual assault but still demand intervention from society.
There are several potential explanations of why kids show sexually abusive activities. Also, the
sexual activity issues of adolescents are never for sexual gratification. Indeed, the following
causes are far more likely to be associated with these behaviors: exposure to stressful
experiences: harassment, natural events, injuries, or crime, including domestic violence;
prolonged exposure to adult sexual activities and home nudity (including television or Internet
media exposure); Inadequate or improper regulations on modesty or home privacy; inadequate or
inappropriate home monitoring, frequently due to parental causes such as depression, misuse of
drugs or repeated absences.
While the following behaviors do not generally reflect sexual aggressiveness; they are examples
that children with sexually abusive behaviors may often have behavioral and social problems:
impulsiveness and a pre-thinking trend; difficulties following laws and hearing officials in the
household, at the school, and in the community; issues making friends a personality.
In the lives of small children, parents are among the most significant persons. From birth,
children learn and depend on mothers and fathers to defend and care for them and map a path
that encourages their general well-being and other caregivers acting in parenting. While parents
are usually filled with the expectation of their offspring's evolving identities, they often lack
awareness of how best to care for them. Becoming a parent is typically a welcome occurrence,
but in some situations, parents' lives are filled with issues and confusion over their ability to
guarantee their child's physical, mental, or economic well-being.
Special attention, medication, and monitoring are required for children who display sexually
abusive behavior. Many delicate circumstances could be impossible to cope with. Sexual
aggression of 12-25 years is vital to understand and prevent: adolescence and adult life are
critical periods when healthy sexual behavior and relationships are developed. Over these years,
experiences help shape attitudes towards sexuality and gender roles and scripts that guide young
people's behavior in their future sexual life. Young people must receive the support they need to
develop a positive lifestyle for sexual health and positive sexual interaction skills in the current
context where media and virtualized socio-sexual interaction are prevalent.
2. Sex education at home. Who and When shall it be discussed?
Sex is a term that means a lot to people in the country, and indeed the world. There are also a
variety of concerns about the word sex. One of the biggest concerns regarding sex is whether sex
education can be provided to very young children. The response is yes to this contrary issue.
Sexual education is a constant development that begins with birth and continues throughout life.
It is necessary to lay a firm basis for sexual health through this process. The subject of sexual
education has numerous actual and non-actual views. In the company of Social Media and some
of the most influential people in our lives, we speak and publicize it repeatedly. Sexual education
is more than sex; sexual advancement, fertility, sexuality, gender role, and self-respect are all
concerned.
When it comes to sexual education, I think that information should be provided from more than
one outlet. I believe that sexual knowledge should be gained from both home and school. I
believe that a mix of learning things at home and school would work best for most children. This
being said, I think that there must be a better and reformed version of sexual education when it
comes to schools than what we see today. As we addressed in class, there is a great deal of focus
on underage pregnancy in today's culture. Sex education is not compulsory in our schools; it is
unusual here in the Philippines because, instead of speaking about it to educate, certain people
are against teaching children about sex. They cannot even use the term sex, let alone educate
them about it. At our parents' age, talking about sex is taboo; they have not been as open as we
are at this point. They were not adequately educated; they did not know how to speak to their kid
about it. That is why they are against the concept of sex education, because after all these years,
in the very first place, they have not been taught to deal with telling their child about sex.
If parents teach their children sex education, beginning at the age of five, the way, sex hurts our
world will change positively. Children need to know it is wrong to have sex. If children became
more aware, the percentage of pregnant teenagers in current times might be reduced. It would
build more strong values for young people and adults. If children learned more about the risks of
sex at a younger age, it would change society in a much different direction than what we have
today.
Sex education is essential, but many teenagers finish sex education lessons with a skewed
perception of sexuality without a clear understanding of contraceptives and responsible sex
practices. Instead, children understand that they cannot have sex until they are married. Kids are
not even shown what is wrong about sex in some households. It is unacceptable because babies
are not supposed to have babies. Kids do not learn the details they need to know to stay safe.
Kids do not want to realize how bad this result can be. Teens should not have casual sex. The
truth is, it is not going to happen. Kids will do what they want to do, but they need to understand
further what will happen. When children are taught younger, they will keep them from having to
have sex too quickly. There are still those who do so, and that is why kids need sex knowledge.
When it occurs, the numbers could be modified. Research has consistently demonstrated that sex
education, which offers reliable, detailed, and developmentally relevant knowledge about human
sexuality, including risk-reduction methods and contraceptives, encourages young people to take
action to protect their health, including avoiding sex, using condoms or contraception, and
becoming monogamous. If children have seen negative facets of sex, such as pregnancy and
sexually transmitted infections, we would have no problem with a sexually associated epidemic
in the world.
3. Some observers of the adolescent scene have noted that traditional one-on-one dating is
far less common today than in past generations and that relatively more interaction
between males and females, even those who are romantically interested in each other,
occurs in groups than in couples. Does this sound correct to you? If so, what implications
does it have for the development of the sexual self?
Many singles conclude that the time, hassle, and commitment it takes is not worth traditional
dating. One comment I often hear is, "I am so tired of telling new people my story. I want to
meet someone and don't have to go over the details of who I am anymore." This feeling may
align with you, and I recognize that dating is emotional and can be challenging. When I was in
high school, nearly all of my friends, seriously or not, already had their partners. It happened in a
circle of friends. From what I observed, I think they all have the same preferences, and that is
why they're going for an acquaintance and not a stranger. I agree that it is draining to express
your experiences and challenges in life repeatedly, mainly if it is difficult for an individual to
open up to others.
According to research, most high school teens have had an intimate relationship, and almost half
of the high school teens report having at least one sexual encounter. The importance of the public
face of their relationships was stated by all teen groups, although this factor varied slightly from
others on the list of qualities required in a successful or healthy relationship. By "public image,"
we refer to how the public and their friends have projected and interpreted their relationships.
For both teen boys and teen girls, this topic emerged in the focus groups, while individuals
stressed different sides of the equation based on their gender. Teen girls were nervous about how
their friends viewed their relationship and how in public, their partners acted towards them.
Instead of the image of the relationship, teen boys were more likely to report anxiety for their
image, and, to some degree, teen boys viewed their relationships as influencing their public
image.
Sexuality is much more than sex — it's our values, attitudes, feelings, interactions, and
behaviors. Sexuality is emotional, social, cultural, and physical. Sexual development is one part
of sexuality, and it begins much earlier in life than adolescence. By the time we reach
adolescence, we have already received many messages about sexuality (Strasburger, 2005).
An expected and natural part of growing into adulthood is to develop sexually. By getting out of
their teens, most individuals have considered or experienced some form of sexual activity.
Adolescent sexuality research focuses on two areas: understanding healthy sexual development
and investigating the risks associated with sexual activity that is too early or unsafe. More than
sexual behavior, healthy sexual development involves more. It is the combination of puberty,
age-appropriate sexual behaviors, and the formation of a positive sexual identity and a sense of
sexual well-being known as physical, sexual maturation. Teens aspire to feel relaxed with their
developing bodies during puberty and make excellent and safe choices about what sexual
behaviors they choose to participate in.
Expressions of sexual activity vary among teenagers. If they participate in sexual intercourse
relies on personal preparation, family expectations, sexual harassment exposure, social pressure,
religious beliefs, moral guidelines that are internalized, and incentive. Biological and hormonal
impulses, excitement, and a need for social recognition may be included in motives. Today, there
is an increased strain, especially sexuality of the teenage years, defined with girls, to look
attractive in their lives in all contexts-school, leisure time, the workplace, with peers, in the
neighborhood, even when engaging in sports or exercise. Decisions to participate in, or restrict,
sexual behavior in ways that are compatible with personal values and health security demonstrate
the maturity and self-acceptance of an adolescent.
In general, to contribute to self-understanding, the idea of sexual self-concept is a valuable and
intuitively appealing outlook, demonstrating the importance of human sexuality as an aspect of
general identity, just as in relationships, where relationship fulfillment and sexual satisfaction are
associated. However, different, sexual self-concept and overall self-concept are likely to be
linked but distinct from each other, thus satisfying oneself.
Those who think non-traditional relationship practices are more fitting, sexual self-concept and
attachment-based viewpoints are often helpful.
