Young people need accurate information to help them protect themselves. The United States has more than double the rates of pregnancy than any other industrialized country in the far west, more than a million teenagers become pregnant each year. Young people have the highest rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) than any other age group, one in four get an STD before age 21. STDs, including HIV, can damage the health and reproductive ability of a (a) young. There is no cure for AIDS.

HIV infection is increasing most rapidly among young people. One in four new infections in the U.S. occur in people younger than 22 years. In 1994, 417 new AIDS cases were diagnosed among young people 13 to 19, and 2.684 new cases of AIDS among 20 to 24 years of age. Because the infection may have occurred 10 years before an AIDS diagnosis means that most of these people became infected with HIV either as adolescents or pre-adolescence (Center tor Aids Prevention Studies, s / f). The adolescent population in Mexico has doubled in percentage terms in the last 30 years. In 1970 accounted for 11.4 percent of the national population now accounts for 21.3 percent. Between 2000 and 2020 the largest age group of the population will be 10 to 19 years.

In the most deprived social groups, the onset of sexual life responds more to early marriage patterns, so that both events tend to occur almost simultaneously. Experience with lower levels of education indicates that about 18 years together in pairs and begin their sexual life and only a year after experiencing the birth of first child (19 years).

Just over half of young people (55%) report they have already had sex, and age at onset was found in the range of 15 to 19 years. First intercourse occurred mostly in a high percentage with a romantic partner, fiancé (e) or spouse (a) and this data is consistent with respect to the number of sexual partners. The vast majority reported having had only one partner in the last year and less than 20% have had more than two fellow (as) sex. Sexual activity and frequency of contacts tested in the last three months indicated that the frequency with which they have had sex in the past three months, four in ten sexually active young one to three times per week, approximately third have sex one to three times a month, and about almost a quarter of youth reported not having sex during the last month (Díaz, 2003).

Adolescent girls face during their development, two issues related to reproduction: confronting their sexuality and protect their health. It was observed that the teenager is postponing the age of their union with a male partner, but the phenomenon is determined by their school performance. At the same time has been observed that sexual activity begins earlier than before, while the current use of modern contraceptives remains low. Another risk to exposed adolescents who become sexually active are sexually transmitted infections.

Sexuality has a major significance in the lives of adolescents in two dimensions: one, be it risk pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexual violence and other protective factor dimension of healthy development. Risk has been written and studied for many years in pregnancy and STDs, but only in recent times of sexual violence, either sexual abuse or harassment, which preys on children especially. Little has been studied and disseminated in the field of health and education only recently in the enormous influence exerted adolescent sexuality in its development. The search for identity can not be understood without this dimension and so the development of an adequate self-esteem. But sexuality should be part of a vision of self vital key capability in decision-making in their relationships. Teens are one of the first needs, knowledge and management of their sexuality.

18% of adolescents had had sex, 27.1% in men and 8.7% in women. The teenagers of the middle have the highest frequency (1 of 5) start sexual relationships and lower marginal stratum (1 of 7), but also the lowest average age of onset. Extreme strata have a wide range of ages of onset that is reflected especially in men. In contrast, in women there is direct correlation between younger age at onset with lower socioeconomic status (Fonseca, 2000).

A comprehensive strategy for preventing HIV uses multiple elements to protect as many people as possible at risk for HIV infection and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Children deserve the best education possible (Center for AIDS Prevention Studies s / f).

In Mexico annually serve over 350 000 births to teens, and become mothers before age 19 more than 600 000 girls, the figures above are shed the country’s health institutions, but others are not known, as the number of attempted abortion in the same age and even fewer deaths void or undue attention.

On the other hand, parents feel unable to educate their children sexually and prefer to leave that responsibility to school teachers (Serrano, 2000).

Mexico has high rates of teenage pregnancy and, according to experts, the problem will continue if not addressed the inadequacy of sex education, lack of availability of contraceptive methods, which have ill-prepared teachers and local governments that hinder public policy matter. Experts put special emphasis on social and political resistance to addressing the problem and warn the possibility of a serious setback in this regard.

The National Survey of Health and Nutrition (ENSyN) 2006 reports that the pregnancy rate in children and adolescents aged 12 to 19 years was 79 per thousand women. The report estimated that 695 000 100 adolescents have been pregnant at some time (Ramirez, 2009). According to the report “Children account in Mexico 2006″ Network for the Rights of Children in Mexico, in 2000 there were 179 000 413 adolescents between 15 and 17 years of age with at least one child, and in 2005 recorded 164 000 108 (Tapia, 2007).

It is important to state that parents are the primary educators of their children. On the other hand, at this stage of events, there is no discussion about whether to be the only or if their function is above the school meets. When talking about education for life, school is a subsidiary of that provided by parents. The one needs the other and both converge to the same objectives (Rocha, 2005).

Experience shows that there is a desire in most of the parents, to talk confidently about sexuality with their children. Most of the time is just that, a desire. There consciously and unconsciously putting a barrier product of the lack of information generated by the ignorance, denial or acceptance of one’s sexuality.

Sexuality and affectivity are two very important aspects in the education of children, both during their childhood and in adolescence. But sometimes, parents do not quite know what to do or say for fear or ignorance, and then often ignore the issue hoping that teenagers it out for themselves or, at best, in school, so, it is important to know the perception that parents have about the role they occupy in the sexual education of their children, as preventive agents of unwanted pregnancies and / or contracting sexually transmitted diseases.

The adolescent population of Mexico accounts for one fifth of the population in the country, which is the opportunity to social and economic development to ensure sustainable growth of the nation. To satisfy this assumption is that human capital necessary to prepare both academically and in the humanities. Adolescence is a stage in the life of great opportunities but also highly vulnerable, decisions about sexual and reproductive behavior are transcendent for the future development of individuals, their sons and daughters and their partners. Unplanned pregnancy is one of the threats to the development of adolescents, as this unexpected situation can endanger women’s health and delay or suspend the process and life skills for productive work . While the exercise of sexuality is a human right, this must be done with responsibility for self, spouse and children present and future (Diaz, 2003).

Sexuality in adolescence need information, the girls must know all contraceptive methods, how to use them, be aware of side effects, interactions with other drugs that may decrease effectiveness. Both girls and boys need to know that in every sexual contact may result in a pregnancy, that no condom use also carries the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, some of which will cost health directly but other life

The real sexual activity show differences between men and women. Both are able to experience desire and arousal, however, through myths, taboos or gender, some women feel self-conscious to the sexually active while unmarried or maintain a close relationship while young people do more freedom and tolerance. Delaying marriage and reproduction can extend the period in which young people are prepared and mature, which provides people with clear advantages for personal development in the later stages of their lives (Diaz, 2003).

While the country has made great efforts in this area, there are some groups in society who believe that giving information to young people about sexual and reproductive rights is like inviting them to be promiscuous, while international studies have shown that timely guidance delayed the start of this or is exercised with responsibility and clear gender perspective.

The overall objective of the research is to understand and analyze the perception that parents have about sex education for their teens.

1. The psychic. Most of us have fallen in love once, so we all know what it is. Looked at in depth, it is the result of the combination of various psychodynamic processes, variables according to each subject and circumstance. For example, fall in love may be the expression:

projection onto the person of our strengths repressed and then identify with it
our emotional dependence on certain aspects of another / a, which satisfy our needs
our narcissistic identification with someone who felt “identical” to us
neurotic interplay complementarity (dominance-submission, superiority-inferiority, etc.).
upwelling of oedipal longings (“he / she is like my father / mother “…)
intense sexual desire, not openly acknowledged
hidden narcissistic interests (of seduction, flattery, omnipotence …)
interests other than the relationship itself (economic security, social status …)
biological and hormonal elements
and so on.
The stronger are such psychodynamic (which, as mentioned, vary with each individual and situation), the more we tend to idealize the other / a, and the relationship itself as a defense against the anxiety of losing everything. This idealization, arising from powerful needs, often lived, therefore, with a huge euphoria and anxiety , and not without influence mimetic also certain social ideals, as we shall see. When such a vivid idealization is mutual … Well, you know what it is.

The duration of the “storm psychodynamic”, falling in love remains. Now, look at all your threads are based on fantasies , ie on assumptions about the other / a. “I do not know about you, but I imagine that you are provisionally so and so” , which is enough to trigger unconsciously, that is, outside of my control, the storm. But when the mere touch is going successive providing information, much more realistic , about the other / a, then the bases are no longer stable psychodynamic and our infatuation begins to fail. “Our love is staggering!” We say. And so begins the decline of all romances.

This obviously means that the more neurotic, that is, the more alienated from himself, is someone stronger the psychodynamics described and therefore is more likely to fall. Not only that, but to confuse their intrapsychic swell with “love” and think, after much repeated “I love you” and “I love you”, which desfraudadas his fantasies, he “ran out of love.”

Do they ever existed in this turbulence?

2. The cultural . The idea of romantic love in the West probably begins in the eleventh century, with the “courtly love” and is broadcast in both sexes the most from the nineteenth century as an expression of individualism and social emancipation with respect to the old ways (absolute, Puritanism, arranged marriages, etc.).. People feel free to “love” according to their own tastes and feelings. However, as the “tastes and feelings” of many people tend to be accurate and unfortunately, as we have seen before, very neurotic, and as every ideal is often quickly become mandatory, eventually falling in love turns out to be not only a longing idolized and prescriptive – showing people “how” must feel, but a real drug social.

For what narcotic there is, in fact, more affordable and cheaper than the sex and the emotions stimulated, projected idealized? What excitement is greater than the infantile fantasy of creeernos definitely save @ s? Is there any pleasure comparable to the exchange of egos, narcissistic, neurotic games? And no business is more lucrative than the mock love, that is, Smuts , whether of a sexual basically (preferred by many men) or primarily romantic (preferred by many women). And so on. Therefore romance, romantic infatuation ends up being for many a disposable object, another product over our civilization. Yes, indeed, infatuation is fleeting, why not fall in love with someone different every week? And if, on the other end, being in love is wonderful, why not get married “forever” with our addiction?

In short, as the greatest enemy of our being are our own neurotic processes, which are made by defense mechanisms of all kinds, is completely unrealistic to assume that the romance, a mere variant of the same, to provide any happiness.

What about true love?

Love exists. But genuinely loving relationships can not rely on our own private nebulae, but in the perception lucid and objective as possible to be the other . We see this very easily, for example, in friendship. In a truly valuable friendship, we know well the other, we love and cling to him, without having to deform from our blinders neurotic. Therefore, among other things, true friendship is usually not possessive or destructive, but rather the opposite. (The romance, however, not being love, it is possessive, and even destructive storm, as befits the neurosis). Therefore, the healthy, mature, known and are estimated to themselves, and so on., Not fall in love, or only to its own mode, which is much softer, realistic and close to the deep friendship that the “passions” romantic.

To understand this, consider that other kind of infatuation, which is totally non-romantic and wonderful. Which is expressed by saying, p. for example., “I’m in love with my profession.” O “I love my garden.” O “I love my children.” Etc. In these cases, what we mean is that we are deeply involved, committed and caring for someone or something, and, without losing the slightest objectivity, we feel by doing a full deep joy of understanding, tenderness and awe . This form of infatuation, so mature and balanced, it is precisely, in my opinion, the long-sought “true love”, which not only helps me to grow myself, but also to the other . (1)

If, in short, the relationship with your partner is about well, you can say you really love her. (2)
