LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET GRADE 8 MAPEH

SEXUALITY AS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF ONE’S PERSONALITY

Background Information for the Learners

Sexuality is a natural and healthy part of life. It is everything about being a male or female. It is the
most important aspect in masculine or feminine identification. Sexuality involves the name given at birth,
the toys played with, the clothes worn, the friends played with, the roles and responsibilities at home.
Sexuality provides a sense of self-worth when sexual understanding is positive.
Your sexuality is a natural drive that’s with you from birth, but your family, your culture, your
religious background, the media, and your peers shape your attitude toward sexual health. Sexuality means
you have to be aware of yourself better. As you grow older, you will experience a range of social,
emotional, and physical changes. As these occur, you need an intensive knowledge on how to deal with
your attitudes and behavior.
Sexuality can be best understood through the help of people around you. The way you see yourself
is influenced by many people. It is important to maintain good relationships with others. They will support
you and give you confidence, provide companionship and will keep you from being lonely.
