CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Sex is a term
that is universally used so you would expect a good amount to be known
about it. This is in part because the majority of societies regulate
sexual activity. The family unit is the place where sexual activity or
interactions are scheduled to occur between two sexes. Premarital sexual
sex isn’t restricted to only young couples and a lot of couples who
aren’t married are at risk of pre-marital sexual relations. This is
evident from the number of unintended pregnanciesthat end up in back
street clinics. Alo (2008) reported that there’s a high incidence of
sexually transmitted diseases between the ages of 15-24, and that the
increasing percentage of girls leaving school due to unplanned
pregnancy, is the result of premarital and sexual sex. In a recent
report published from the Center for the Study of Adolescents (C S A)
The age at which sexual debate has reached an record lows of 8-12 years.
In actuality 8 of 10 teens were sexually active before reaching 20
years old. This raises the chance of unwanted pregnancy and sexually
transmitted illnesses as well as the likelihood to dropout of college.
Furthermore, the negative effects of premarital sexually transmitted
diseases, and HIV are more severe for females. If a young woman is
pregnant, she puts her and the child she is carrying at danger. The
reason for this is that the body of a young girl has not evolved to the
point where it is capable of handling childbirth security. Even if a
mother of a young age is able to avoid a variety of health risks
however, she will still have to face the significant responsibilities as
a parent. It is not the case that she is unable to attend school, and,
unless it is in exceptional instances, she might never return to school.
Alo (2008) has stated that the modern world is becoming more free in a
variety of ways, and premarital sexual relations are becoming more
common. Premarital sex is leading to a variety of social issues
including disorderly households and the deterioration of morality of the
public.
The lack of economic and social opportunities for women,
girls and their families, as well as the pressures put on them, in
conjunction with the gender gap, which is referred to be the cause of
exits from the educational system. Mensch as well as Lioyd (1998) stated
that there are a variety of outcomes from unsatisfactory schooling bad
academic results and a reluctance to or a preference for, the early
years of childhood.
In the study of Mensch as well as Lioyd (1999)
the pregnant women are often believed to affect the educational progress
of adolescents, and the teenage reproductive behaviors could be linked
to school achievement, given that several of the same issues can cause
dropping out and early child carrying.
Zabin as well as Kiragu (1998)
They believe they believe that within sub-saharan African schools, they
could increase the likelihood of sexual initiation, particularly
because it is a way of removing youngsters from the oversight of their
traditional caregivers. In the end, increasing numbers of adolescents
are forced to navigate sexual maturation and participation in a
completely different setting that is different from the previous
generations.
