Abstract

The purpose of this essay is to critically discuss the sociological factors that influence sexual behavior during adolescence. A period of physiological changes from puberty to adulthood where society's perception and treatment of both boys and girls begins to change, also a period where adolescent behavior patterns begin to alter as they encounter new experiences and the transition from school to work. It is the predisposing factor associated with behavior patterns that comes under particular scrutiny within the assignment. As a result of the current changes in the political sphere and the resultant demise in institutions such as families, and church organizations more emphasis is now given by adolescents to group attachment with peers. This group affiliation becomes a protective factor for adolescents and increases the health risks for individuals who indulge in health comprising activities.
