This document discusses the need for sex education for adolescents and the various social influences that shape adolescent sexuality. It notes that parents and peers have significant influence in forming adolescents' attitudes towards sex, with parents initially and peers having more influence as adolescents get older. Other influences discussed include media, culture, religion, and schools. The document outlines challenges adolescents face related to sexuality like early pregnancy, STDs, and lack of contraceptive use. It argues for comprehensive sex education programs and ensuring access to sexual health services and information to support adolescents' healthy development.
Sex education in indian schools(for bigenners)Priya Verma
In this presentation, i tried to tackle one of the most important yet most avoided part of education: SEX EDUCATION. The goal of this presentation will be twofold: first, we’ll discuss the role of sex education on young minds and how sex education is implemented in most Indian schools. During this, we'll discuss also about myths and facts regarding sex education among parents and teachers too and Controversies over there in implementation of sex education.
These slides help parents learn what adolescents and teens need to know about sex and how to start the conversations. Based on my eManual, Sexuality Talking Points.
Children and women, college bound and overall as a gender are the most vulnerable members of our societies to sexual abuse. Here are some important guidelines that we should inculcate in our children to help protect them.

Young Children & Adolescents with Sexual Behaviour Problems: Some lessons lea...Roslinya Latip
Incidents of sexual abuse involving young children as the instigators challenge the notion of 'children's innocence'. It is viewed as a complex problem which invites various responses from the public. The concern and service provision for young people with sexual behaviour problems (SBPs) in the UK is fairly recent, yet it shows rapid development since the publication of 'The Report of the Committee of enquiry into Children and Young People who Sexually Abuse Other Children' by the National Children's Home (NCH) in 1992. This presentation intends to provide some of the key findings from an original research entitled 'Young Children and Adolescents with Sexual Behaviour Problems: Findings from Practitioners and Agencies'. The presentation will highlight the focus of the study wherein to understand the issue of sexual behaviour problems (SBPs) involving young children and adolescents through the analysis of protocols to work with young people reported with a range of SBPs and through talking to the practitioners from various agencies. As this study includes the younger group of young people (those of ages below the age of criminal responsibility), this presentation will also tabulates some of the key features for research that combines two sensitive areas, and that is; research of the vulnerable population, and research of SBPs involving young children and adolescents as the 'instigators'. The presentation will also summarises the approach of the study which was designed to bring about a holistic view of the different ways the understanding of SBPs among young people are manifested in the different service providers and practices. This inter-disciplinary topic will includes some lessons learned for better practice but most importantly it can also be an eye opener for many people about the challenges in the practice with young people with SBPs, which makes this presentation relevant to a wider population.

There are many misunderstandings regarding the definitions of "cult" and "mind control". What do these words mean and what is involved? How can we tell the difference between the conveyance of a good idea and being controlled into exploitation?
Mind control is known by many names: brainwashing, coercive persuasion, thought reform, uninformed consent, manipulation, exploitive persuasion, malignant use of group dynamics, sociopsychological manipulation, behavioral change technology, and compliance-gaining influence. Cults are also known by other names: closed system of logic, authoritarian structure, coercive organization, and ideological totalism.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Sexuality & Adolescent
Development
Social factors shape and interact with
biology.
Learn how to act out sexual feelings on
the basis of social attitudes, extracted from
cultural contexts.
ARISE ROBY
3. 3
Social Influences on Adolescent Sexuality
A. Proximal Social Influences
Parents
Attitudes initially formed at home and so parental
models and Teachings are important.
Peers
Later children are influenced by peer groups and
the wider social arena.
ARISE ROBY
4. 4
I. Parents
Psychological literature reveals the
profound influence that parents have on
the lives of their children. Parents are the
primary socializers of their children.
ARISE ROBY
5. 5
Parents influence Adolescent
Sexual Behaviour through four different
avenues:
Parental attitudes towards adolescent
behaviour influence adolescent attitudes.
Marital and child rearing behaviour of parents
provide and support role models for young
people.
ARISE ROBY
6. 6
The Religious environment influence sexual
attitudes and sexual guilt.
The education level and work experience of
the parents may influence attitudes and
present opportunities for sexual activity if
parents are away.
ARISE ROBY
7. 7
Theories on Adolescent
Sexual Development
Psychosexual Theorists such as FREUD,
BLOS attach great significance to the impact of
sexual drives on the psychological functioning
of the person.
ARISE ROBY
8. 8
Psychosocial Theorists like Erikson, Marcia,
Adams, take the position that “anatomy is
destiny” but takes into account social context
and their cultural factors that mediate sexual
conflict.
ARISE ROBY
9. 9
Erickson places a great emphasis on establishing a sense
of identity and a coherent sense of self in adolescent
sexual development.
Difficulty in parent-adolescent particularly parent-
daughter conversation regarding Sexuality seems to have
a negative effect in delaying sexual activity. i.e. Greater
the difficulty, the earlier the initiation of sexual activity.
ARISE ROBY
10. 10
Non virginity in youth is associated with non-
authoritative parenting.
Girls from single parent-families repeat this
cycle. It is unclear whether this is related to role
modeling or lack of parental supervision or to
parental absence.
ARISE ROBY
11. 11
Parents also influence via socialization of the child to
coping strategies in their personal life. Learned
Restraint was a factor in adolescent sexual expression
for boys. This was the ability by parents to delay
gratification, inhibit aggression, exercise impulse
control, display consideration of others and to act
responsibly.
ARISE ROBY
12. 12
II. Peers (& Friends)
Behaviour of peers have little impact on young
children - but importance of peers shifts at
adolescence.
Peer influence and positive or negative pressure
can be through:
peer information
peer attitudes
peer behaviour
ARISE ROBY
13. 13
Studies show in Adolescent sexual
activity and FP use
Peers have 70-73% of influence,
Mothers have 33-37% influence Fathers
have 15% influence

Theory of reasoned action:
– Perceived attitudes and values of
significant others have important effect on
shaping intention.
– Young women more than men were
influenced by attitudes of their peers
about pre-marital sex, contraception and
safer sex practices.

1.The Youth Culture
(a) Sets of beliefs: fashions, leisure,
music influenced by:
print, media, definitions of female femininity and
desirability, definitions of maleness, lyrics, etc.
Perceptions of peers about sexual experiences.
ARISE ROBY
17. 17
(b) Adult models of sexual behaviour
Parents are not the only role models;
other adults in society
How changing adult sexual norms
affect the youth is unknown
ARISE ROBY
18. 18
(c) Media models of sexual behaviour
Movies and videos reinforcing roles and
messages -
women as passive victims
women as sexual beings
women as play things
ARISE ROBY
19. 19
2.Social Institutions
(a) School
have an important role to play in informing young
people and providing a forum for values
exploration and clarification about sex
school based sex education policy and
implementation
whether sex education per se without supportive services
translates to behaviour change is less clear
–prefer to turn to peers for info
–do not trust teachers’ knowledge or discretion
ARISE ROBY
20. 20
(b) Religion
Religiosity is negatively related to
premarital sexual behaviour. Sexual
conservation is greater among
religious youth
consequence of religious values
association of youth with similar values
may be other sources of values
ARISE ROBY
21. 21
(c) The Law
Laws that deal with adolescent sexual
expression relate mainly to:
age of consent laws for sexual intercourse and
medical interventions such as FP and abortions
laws on homosexuality
ARISE ROBY
22. 22
Arguments about adolescent sexuality
revolve around 4 central themes:
Morality and responsibility (parents and
religions, especially related to sexuality
education)
Desire - media representation
(responsibility vs. gratification)
ARISE ROBY
23. 23
Danger - public health approach and
medical models (fear related to pregnancy,
disease, HIV/AIDS)
Victimization - power of women in
sexual encounters is limited and so is
responsibility

24. 24
Rationale for Addressing Adolescent
Sexual and Reproductive Health
Number of Adolescents
• adolescents aged 10-19 constitute approximately 20% of the
world population
• half of all individuals are younger than 25
The fertility level for this age group is decreasing but
decreasing more slowly than for other age groups
resulting in an increasing proportion of births being to
adolescent mothers
Pregnant adolescents resort to abortion more often
than pregnant women of other age groups
ARISE ROBY
25. 25
Risk Factors in of Adolescence:
Psychosocial Risks
the period during which sexual and reproductive
health issues are added to the health concerns of the
individual
adolescents not knowledgeable about sexuality and
reproduction
abstinence not encouraged
gender equality not promoted
healthy and responsible sexual and reproductive
behaviour not discussed
sexual and reproductive risk-taking not discussed
ARISE ROBY
26. 26
Early Pregnancy Risks
neo-natal mortality levels are higher
infant mortality are higher
an increase in the age of marriage
a fall in the age of menarche
no decrease in sexual activity
a greater risk of adolescent girls becoming pregnant
outside of marriage
social stigma prevent pregnant adolescent girls from
obtaining early prenatal care
ARISE ROBY
27. 27
Abortion Risks
lack of information on contraception
the cost of health services
lack of confidentiality
limited access to safe services
delay in realising or admitting to the pregnancy
ARISE ROBY
28. 28
most susceptible to STDs due to
physiological and social factors
5% of all adolescents contract an STD
half of those infected with HIV are
younger than 25
less developed physiological barriers
towards infection
young women’s low decision-making power
STD Risks
ARISE ROBY
29. 29
Contraceptive Use
level of contraceptive use is often very
low among adolescents
due to insufficient or incorrect
information
to limited access to contraception
because of location, cost or social and
cultural barriers
to the low social status and decision-
making power
ARISE ROBY
30. 30
The Sexual and Reproductive Rights of
Adolescents
Economic Benefits
the cost of contraceptive use is significantly lower
than the cost of medical care related to unwanted
pregnancies and treatment of STDs
is a cost-saving strategy
educational options limited
economic opportunities curtailed
ARISE ROBY
31. 31
Meeting Adolescents’ Needs
The primary goal of ASRH programming and policy is to
enable adolescents to enjoy their sexual and reproductive
rights
provide adolescents with knowledge and services
sexual and reproductive health care for all
adolescents
create an enabling environment to reinforce
preventive interventions and services
ARISE ROBY
32. 32
Preventive Interventions
to promote responsible and healthy reproductive
and sexual behaviour, including voluntary abstinence
to provide services and counselling
to educate and counsel in the areas of gender
relations on equality
to reduce violence against adolescents
to promote responsible sexual behaviour
to promote responsible family planning practice
to promote family life and reproductive and sexual
health, including STD preventionTI
ARISE ROBY
33. 33
IEC
IEC initiated before adolescents have
engaged in sexual activity give adolescents the
skills
• to postpone the onset of sexual activity and
• to engage in safer sexual practices once
sexual activity begins
For sexually active adolescents, IEC and services
• raise the level of contraceptive use
• increase condom use

Lessons Learned by Youth for Youth
Execution by youths at the national level was a
successful approach;
Youths preferred topics which affected them directly
such as human sexuality, STDs, including AIDS, and
contraception over general issues such as
“population”;
Its difficult to decide at the global level what will
happen at the national level;
ARISE ROBY
49. 49
Lessons Learned by Youth for Youth (CONT’D)
Networking is easier at the peripheral level;
The involvement of stakeholders in project design
triggers positive attitudes and deep commitment to the
project;
Governmental institutions and NGOs can successfully
be involved in the same project;
It is important to build trust among youths and their
organisations;
Youth learn better from other youth.

The Youth Perspective
“[Youth] tell us they want information on reproductive health
and sexuality education, preferably from their parents. They
want this information early and in a form appropriate to their
psychological and physical development. They want accurate
information so they can empower themselves to make
choices and take responsibility for those choices.
ARISE ROBY
51. 51
The Youth Perspective (cont’d)
They also say they want to have at their disposal - and this
does not mean they will automatically use those services -
family planning information and supplies that will allow
them to avoid early and unwanted pregnancy, and abortion,
and to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases,
including HIV/AIDS”.
