Keywords sex education, sex, education, students, HIV, pargonntsINTRODUCTION What is sex education? call forth education is needful and necessary for todays youth. Being alive(predicate) of the exposure given to students in school, in the media and among their peers, sex education non only teaches them closely inner intimacy, but excessively enlightens them on their productive systems, birth control, and knowledgeablely transmitted diseases. It withal exposes them to their gender identity, gender role, family role, personate im mount ups, sexual expression, intimacy and the marriage relationship. Why is it important? chargeual health can be identified by means of the free and responsible expressions of sexual capabilities that foster harmonious personal and social wellness, enriching life within an estim commensurate framework1. come alive Education in schools addresses the issue of sexual health and also makes students aw be of the above mentioned points, thus our society can only receipts from sex education. energize education has been and is still a taboo to the Indian society but according to the Justice Verma committee, set up afterwards the Delhi gang rape case, in that respect is no basis to say sex education leads to early sexual initiation by children 2.The committee suggests that sex education be introduced in schools in a clinical manner through trained teachers and childcounsellors. Children should be able to access informed, non-prejudiced sources in sexual practice rather than misinformation through internet ormisleading advertising. Ever since the internet boom and the blowup of the social media platform many teenagers turn to the internet and seek solutions for their queries regarding sex and the information they wank is non al looks right and is often misleading.Some rough-cut misconceptions 1. Many mass guess that washing the genitals after sex protected them from STDs. Likewise, urinating after sex and use of oral contraceptives are considered as ways of preventing STDs 3. 2. You can get STDs from toilet seats. 3. You can tell if mortal has a STD. Educating students about STDs has also become very important in recent times. Most battalion aim a stigmatizing position toward people living with HIV aids and also misconceptions about its transmission routes.Hence sex education can bring about a substantiating pitch in the society. Methodology 1. Research method This research is on the compend of sexual education in schools. Over 230 university students were the respondents for this research. As this research demand the respondents to make their evaluation on their have it off of sexual education thus, it was fit for the university students to be the respondents since their age and cognitive level are at its outperform level to evaluate 4.In the background of this research, the respondents are matured thinkers that are able to make comparison and evaluation on their subsist of sexual suppuration that they have gone through since school. 2. Research instrument This research was base on the qualitative method and the instrumentation of the research was on unified questions where the respondents needed to answer 14 questions. 3. Procedure Questions were decided after an pure(a) group discussion.A questionnaire (appendix A) was prepared using Google forms and it was posted on unlike social media platforms. Reponses were then recorded over a time period of 3 weeks. The data was analyzed using Microsoft excel tools. Results and produceings Responses given by people for various questions 1) Was Sex Education provided in the class way of life? The poll abovesuggest that there is an equal number of students on either side of the line. So as to say that an equal number of students received sex education in the classroom and an equal number did not.Now th ere can be various reasons to this, such as the kind of school these students received their education in. Also, not attending or bypassing such sessions (when they are provided to them). Another reason beingnot compensable attention to detail. Discrepancy in the data is another reason, which can be due to not taking the survey seriously (although a echt attempt has been made to cordon such answers) 2) When were you provided Sex Education? The above settlement distinctly indicates the reckonings that most of the students have received their sex education amidst 9th-12th standard.This gives an idea that students generally receive sex education in the date Group of 14-17 years. Now, the remaining 24% receive their sex education age in college, this indicates that these students receive their sex education through friends mostly, as no such sex education is provided specifically in college. 3) Where did you get your Sex Education, if not in kinroom? This clearly indicates that students not receiving their sex education in school premises receive it primarily through Friends and net.Now this points out the fact as to why so many students get misleading information about HIV and Sex, because internet and peer groups are themselves not fully aware of the nuances of these things. This leads to dispersal of wrong information which can, at times, be dangerous. 4) What do you think is the right age to receive Sex Education? This poll substantiates our findings about most number of students receiving their sex education between Classes 9th-12th. This indicates that the people who are providing sex education are providing it at a correct age and to the correct age group. ) Did you share your Sex Education experience with your parents? Now this was roughthing very much expected as most of the students do not share their sex education experience with their parents. Now the particular reasons to this can be like being not so extrovert with parents, a situation sim ilar to when kids leave the room when an advertisement on condoms or HIV is projected on television. Also, the society and culture of our coun filter where things such as sex and HIV are considered taboo. Another reason being fear of the fact as to how the parents would contradict to it.Some of the possible solutions can be parents taking the initiative with their children, also parents should try to teach their kids the Bees thing so as to give them a medium idea of sex and HIV. Also, children can initiate the issue with their mothers/fathers whoever they musical note to a greater terminus comfortable to discuss with. 6) Do you think Teen Pregnancy leave alone be reduced by Sex Education? To a certain extent this result was expected, 90% of the people believe that Teen Pregnancy will be reduced by the help of sex education.Reasons as to what we feel why students think this way in these regards is that Sex Education introduces them to condoms and contraceptives this helps stude nts to cause as to how the mechanism of birth can be controlled. Apart from this, it opens them up to much ideas and they might have a healthy discussion as to how it can be controlled, which helps the overall reduction of Teen pregnancy. We also believe that sex education does help the youth in understanding the way intercourse can be performed and at the same time swig the line.Also, it is the duty of the individuals to take care that a mistake does not keep which might hamper their personal and professional lives. 7) Should we have Condom pitch Machines in public? This result draws a very irresponsible focussing on the fact that students are basing their answers on something that is very essential, also it points out as to how the youth has totally transformed into something more modern which makes it little vulnerable and open minded. 8) Have you ever tried finding about back up at your have got will?This is a very positive aspect of the students that can be seen throu gh the above poll, the tenacity to postulate to learn more about the subject of HIV on their own makes us feel that the students, who of course hold an image of the future in them, are taking an initiative on their own to get to hold up more about this ghastly problem help. 9) Have you ever met soulfulness with AIDS? This does not come as a surprise as to very few students have actually met an AIDS infect person.It also draws light on how many students have desireed to visit an AIDS infected person (though in a very subtle manner), because those who have met might have met them out of their own accord or enchantment working with an NGO. 10) What will you do if you find out that an AIDS infected person? The goal of this poll was to find out how students would react if they find out that they are dining with an AIDS infected person. Now we are happy to realize that there have been answers on both ends which guide that an AIDS infected person can be maltreated, albeit in some c ases only. 1) Do you think HIV+ people should have different schools and colleges? A very optimistic result, which again projects the positive mentality of students who would not want AIDS infected people to be maltreated. 12) pull up stakes you change your attitude towards your best friend if you find out him/her having AIDS? This poll projects the ingenuousness of individuals in specifying the way they would treat or change their behaviour if they find out about their best friend being infected with AIDS.It shows that more number of people (92%) are ready to not change their response towards their AIDS infected friend (if they come across such a case). Conclusion There were so many facts and opinions related to Sex Education and HIV which were presumed to be true, but with the help of this survey, we can now clearly accept these facts and statistics reason being that most of the questions had a one-sided burden age which shows that these question were correctly answered and ca n be accepted.It also points out that Sex is still treated as a taboo paper in India where most of the students, not only those surveyed, still do not discuss Sex and HIV with their parents and instead receive and discuss these issues with their friends and over the internet, which leads to students leading to receiving misleading information. The survey also draws light on the positive aspect of student thinking when it comes to taking personal initiative to postulate more about AIDS and HIV, which shows the enthusiasm and wanting to learn potentiality of the students apart from personal awakening.Overall, the survey has indicated the thought process of the student participation in a college curriculum.
