Overview
Brief Summary
Adolescence is a period of intensive physical and psychological changes, with notably the start of sexuality. During this period of sexual discovery, a lack or a misuse of contraception may be responsible for unwanted pregnancy.
So, sexual education and information about contraception are crucial. Teenagers often consult Internet or discuss with friends to have information but they can be not true or precise. They can also consult health professionals, however shyness and fear can hold them back. Information about contraception may also be given by their parents. The physical closeness and the trust that adolescents have in their parents can promote dialogue.
