Abstract

Adolescence is labeled by society for being a problematic phase. This is thanks to unthinkable acts committed for many young people during this period. A frequent problem generated by these unthinkable acts, would be the beginning of sexual activities that have been occurring increasingly early. Thanks to this, many young people have been exposed mostly the sexually transmitted diseases or early pregnancies. Due these facts, this study was developed with the aim to investigate how a group of teenagers in a public school in Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, would like to receive information about contraception during lessons Sciences / Biology. The data collection was conducted through an anonymous structured questionnaire that had questions related to the topic. The study participants were studying in the first year of high school and had an average age of sixteen. By analyzing the data obtained, it was noticeable that there are doubts about some contraceptive methods, although all students have mentioned being aware of their existence. Initially, there was the assumption that teenagers take your questions on the topic (contraception) with their friends, by analyzing the results, there was confirmation of this fact. Nevertheless, a significant number of young people also highlighted the importance of the teacher, for the same purpose. The learners could also give their opinion about the teaching of sex education, and in this regard, several criticisms have emerged. Young people mentioned the need to adopt more attractive methods of teaching. It was also evident that one of the major challenges about approaching issues related to sex education in school is the family group of the teenagers itself. As an example may be cited resistance by some parents to allow their children to simply answer the questionnaire in this study, leaving questions about the origin of such resistance.
