PersonaParents to Teenagers (13-17 Years Old)

Adolescence is a sensitive developmental stage, where adolescents are more easily exposed to various risk factors that can affect their sexual and reproductive health.

Issues that may be faced by adolescents include:

• Sexuality
• Sexual abuse
• Teenage pregnancy
• Pornography
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• HIV/AIDS

Both male and female adolescents are exposed to the same risks.

The role of parents is very important in providing emotional support, building open communication, and guiding adolescents so that they understand their rights in self-care.
