1.0 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In the past in Christian society, it was assumed that the young unmarried people (under graduates and youths) should not be troubled by sex problems in that they would not all thoughts of sex out of their minds. But the youths of today are very anxious about themselves and all that affects their life. Sometimes they ask certain questions about themselves which required parents’ response. They equally ask questions based on films they watch, television programmes and the magazine they read.
