ABSTRACT
Many teenagers start having sex without having received accurate information about sexuality and reproductive health. This lack of information is responsible for the high incidence of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases that are currently reported. There are many medical risks associated with early pregnancy, so it is important to conduct studies on the knowledge that teens have about contraception, and the consequences of a pregnancy at this stage of life. Sex education is to prepare the new generations for love, marriage and family, so it must be part of the education of the whole personality, with participation of the community.REFERENCES
