LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
Applying Decision-Making skills in managing Sexuality-related isuues
Background information for Learners
1. Identifies the different issues/concerns of teenagers (i.e., identity crisis) and the need
for support and understanding of the family.
Teenagers today are exposed to a large number of issues and concerns than ever before.
They deal with online bullying, teenage pregnancy, identity crisis and suicide and among others.
Teenagers have higher levels of stress than in years past. They need strong moral and spiritual
support from the parents and these issues should be talked and discussed with the family.
Different Issues/Concerns of Teenagers and the Need for Support and Understanding
of the Family
Bullying. It is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and repeatedly

causes another person injury or discomfort. Bullying can be verbal, social, physical or done online in
form of cyber bullying and most commonly occurs at school.
Identity Crisis. It is questioning your sense of self or identity, unsure of your role in life or you
feel like you don't know the 'real you. This can often occur due to big changes or stressors in life, or
due to factors such as age or advancement from a certain stage (for example, school, work, or
childhood).
Suicide. It is the act or an instance of taking one's own life voluntarily and intentionally due to
loneliness, depression, family problems, and substance abuse.
Premarital Sex. It is a risky sexual activity practiced by persons who are unmarried. The health
consequences of teen sex namely pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections can have lifelong
impacts.
Teenage Pregnancy. As defined by the American Pregnancy Association, is a pregnancy that

occurs for a woman under the age of 20. Although technically not a teenager, a young woman 12 or
under who is pregnant falls into this definition of teenage pregnancy as well.
Sexually Transmitted Infections. Also known as sexually-transmitted disease (STD) is a

communicable disease that is spread by a pathogen (disease-causing organism) or an infection that
can be transferred from one person to another through sexual contact. Teens are at an increased
risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection than older adults.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus is the virus that leads to Acquired Immune Deficiency
Syndrome when you have certain infections or cancers. You can have HIV for years without having
AIDS. Being infected does not mean you have an already developed AIDS.
Eating Disorder. Eating disorders are serious conditions related to persistent eating
behaviors that negatively impact your health, your emotions and your ability to function in important
areas of life. Most eating disorders involve focusing too much on your weight, body shape and food,
leading to dangerous eating behaviors. Eating disorders often develop in the teen and young adult
years, although they can develop at other ages (MayoClinic).
All of these issues and concerns can be addressed and solved through the help and guidance
of your parents and other older family members who are armed with facts about these teen health
issues. There will be no difficult conversations if you listen to them so that you will be guided on
making smart choices about health and safety.
