Sex and sexuality are subjects that have been discussed at great length by society and its institutions, media and university in several ways. The school is requested to deal with this important subject, given the aggravation of some questions involving sex, for example teenage pregnancy, diseases transmitted by sex (mainly AIDS) and questions about gender and homosexuality. The target of this article is the adolescent, who is in bio-psychic-social changes and, sometimes, in emotionally, social and physically disturbed situation. This work is a result of a research carried out with teenager students in the 14 – 19 age range, from a public high school. The general aims of the work were to verify how the students think and behave in situations concerning sex and sexuality. The methodology used was analysis of redactions written by the students where they described their sexual ideas and behaviors, evidencing values, taboos, myths, prejudgments and difficulties.Downloads
