Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je utvrditi rizike ranog stupanja u seksualne odnose i razloge zbog kojih se adolescenti upuštaju u rizična spolna ponašanja. Cilj ovog rada je također prikazati preventivne metode koje se primjenjuju u svrhu postizanja odgovornog spolnog ponašanja u adolescentnoj dobi.U radu su korištene metode deskripcije i analize dostupne domaće i strane literature i provedenih istraživanja. Pregledom literature i istraživanja utvrđeno je da su adolescenti u Republici Hrvatskoj slabo informirani o spolno prenosivim bolestima i njihovim posljedicama koje je osobito nisko o onim infekcijama koje ih najviše ugrožavaju. Razlog tome je što adolescenti većinu informacija dobivaju i prihvaćaju iz neformalnih izvora. Racionalni argument za sustavni spolni odgoj je potreba da se neutraliziraju i isprave lažne informacije i slike koje se prenose kroz medije i ostalih neformalnih izvora.The aim of this study is to determine the risks of early entry into sexual relationships and the reasons why adolescents engage in risky sexual behavior. The objective of this study is also to display preventive methods that are applied to achieve responsible sexual behavior in adolescence population. The paper used methods of description and analysis of the available domestic and foreign literature and conducted researches. A review of literature and researches has found that adolescents in Croatia are poorly informed about sexually transmitted diseases and their consequences, which is particularly low on those infections that are most hazardous for them. The reason is that most of the information's adolescents receive and accept are from informal sources. Rational argument for systematic sexual education is the need to neutralize and correct false information and images about sexuality that are transmitted through the media and other informal sources
