When parents, teachers, and counselors do not provide sex education, adolescents will seek answers elsewhere. Unwholesome attitudes or incorrect beliefs may develop from information they receive from peers and older adolescents who appear to know it all. The result may be premature and unsafe sexual activities. Hence, it is important to provide sex education to teenagers.
