Abstract

Polybasic culture context and global flow of information are gradually overtaking traditional norms in shaping adolescent representations. The aim of this research is to understand adolescents' representations of sexuality. Compared to British-born Chinese, Chinese born - and - raised adolescents represent similar norms; yet, their understandings and evaluations are relatively vague, resulting in a lack of appropriate guidance. With psychological inversion, adolescents resist vertical knowledge encounters; hence, it is better to make an effort to appeal to other less authoritative approaches instead of rigid sex and relationship education.
