Free Sex Marak In Adolescents, It's Time For Parents To Open To Care For Health Reproduction

JAKARTA - Viral many students in Ponorogo who are suspected of being pregnant outside of marriage make them concerned. Some of them even dared to ask for dispensation to get married.

The students are known to have sex when the house is empty or in a tourist hotel. The low level of reproductive health education, especially today, is very dangerous for teenagers, because it is what they still want to try and be easily persuaded.

Clinical Psychologist for Children and Youth, Vera Itabiliana Hadiwidjojo, stated that there needs to be open communication in the family when discussing matters related to reproductive health.

"It's a shame this is still happening, especially at the age where children should still build themselves first, not build families," Vera said as quoted by Jakarta, Tuesday, January 17.

Vera admitted that she was sad, because the underage students should still be able to develop the various potentials and abilities that exist in her. He suspects that the proliferation of free sex among students is caused by parents who are busy working, so they lack to supervise their children and lack of sex education, as a result, children are less introspective in taking care of themselves.

"In addition to religious education and parental supervision, actually sex education is also important," he said.

Therefore, parents must be able to build parenting that makes children comfortable to talk about anything, including matters related to curiosity about sex, dating, activities on social media, as well as relationships with friends.

According to Vera, children really need access to openness to discuss reproductive health. Teenagers need to know the consequences of an act to how to avoid it.

Because teenagers are likely to face pressure from their friends or girlfriends if they refuse. Therefore, it is hoped that parents will not hesitate to provide reproductive health education to their children, of course, it will continue to go hand in hand with religious education principles.

It is hoped that parents can provide it as early as possible before leaving the child more introspective and anticipatory because they already know the consequences / consequences of an action.

"Here parents need to help their children to find ways to refuse and focus more on developing their own strengths," he said.

When providing reproductive health education, parents can create a comfortable atmosphere to build a moment of casual talk with their children on a regular basis, to make supervision of what is happening in the child's world.

Vera added that reproductive health education is the responsibility of all parties. Schools, for example, can help parents provide this education through routine sessions at school. Teachers must also make students feel they have access to just ask questions or discussions.

"The responsibility is not only for the government, but for all parties, especially parents, schools, the community environment, social media, and other platforms consumed by teenagers. All are responsible for assistance and provide input that is appropriate for the age of children," he said.
