Abstract

The Chinese society becomes more opened up towards topics regarding sex, sex education is, however, not on the right track. This research conducts a mixed-method study among 140 participants to investigate adolescents’ perceptions on schools’ and parental responsibility for providing sex education. It is found out that there is mismatch between Chinese students’ expectation on where and how they received sex education and the reality. Schools and parents are both expected to provide sex education so as to build intimate parent-adolescent relationship, learn comprehensive system of scientific knowledge on sexual behaviors. Also, it points out that there is a lack of attention to those topics related to sexual behavior that mostly generate negative outcomes (e.g., abortion, unplanned pregnancies, sexual abuse). This study implicates schools’ and the parental responsibility of sex education.
