There are more than  200  youth organisations worldwide .
some   10 million  are living with  HIV . Of the over 1 billion youth worldwide ,
 
Not all cases are caused by  reckless  sexual behaviour; sex  education is key amongst young brides.
ages 15-24 Females continue to develop  physically  til age 18 and males, age 21. Humans reach  sexual maturity  between the ages of 12 and 15.  Psychological  development, however, occurs throughout one’s life cycle. 15-24 is the period when most humans begin to define their personal and social  identities .
ages 15-24 Age compression  has introduced new issues between sexual maturity and psychological immaturity. But change is the only constant. What are these issues?

Mary Shelley published  Frankenstein  when she was  19  years old. Cho Seung-Hui was  21  when he shot dead 32 people in Virginia Tech U. Meridian JC students aged  17-18  successfully petitioned to have a one-way turnstile removed from the school’s back gate. what will  you  do? Usain Bolt was  22  when he won 3 Olympic gold medals.
