Journal article | Zeitschriftenartikel

Objective: To analyze the perception of adolescents about the life activity "express sexuality". Method: This is an action-research developed at a school in the periphery of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. We selected 25 adolescents to participate in an educational workshop on sexuality. Results: We observed vulnerability of adolescents to early pregnancy and STDs. Despite having prior knowledge about safe sex practices, we verified they expose themselves to risky situations. Conclusion: We concluded that the inclusion of school activities that promote not only the acquisition of knowledge, but, above all, activities of reflection in search of awareness of body protection, prevention of unwanted pregnancy and STDs is needed.
