Nutcha — “Premarital Sex”, Have you ever heard about this term? It’s about a sexual activity practiced by people who are unmarried. Sex never fails to be a provocative topic. “Is it OK to have premarital sex?” That is a common question among teens and engaged couples. What is the right decision? Let’s take a look at some of the facts.
Atibase — We did this survey by using Google Form (the online survey) and asked a sample of 100 KU students to find out what they think about the problems, the prevention and the solution of having sex in school age. They are 36 males and 64 females. 62 Freshmans, 34 Sophomores, 2 Juniors and 2 Seniors. This is link of this survey “bit.ly/reallyreadybaby”

Nitikorn — Part I. A survey of the problems.
Sex in school age is cause of many problems such as teenage mom, abortion and sexually transmitted infection. In this part we asked KU students 6 questions about what they think about having in school age. Now, let’s move on to the first question.
I’d like you to look at the slide. It shows a pie-chart presenting what KU students think about having sex in school age. As you can see, they think that is a normal issue 61% and 39% think that is inappropriate.
Nitikorn — Let’s move on to the next question. “Have you ever had sex? If you had, did you prevent?”. 68%of KU students never had sex but 32% ever had and some of them didn’t prevent.
Nitikorn — My next slide has two questions. “What do you think about teaching sex education in school, is it enough?” And “How often do your parents talk with you about sex education?”. Only 32% of KU students think teaching sex education in school is enough. Let’s look at the second chart. Their parents never talk with them about sex 53% and only 8% talk frequently.
Nitikorn — Next slide shows a pie-chart presenting the number of KU students who are carry a condom. As you can see, only 14% carry a condom. Why? Most students don’t carry a condom. We will find out in the last question.
Nitikorn— The last question is “How did you feel when you bought a condom?”.
As you can see, most of KU students are embarrassed to buy it.
Nitikorn — In summary, most of KU students view sex in school age as a normal issue. Some of KU students ever had sex and prevented by using a condom, but some of them didn’t prevent. Most of KU students agree that parents and school quite not discuss about sex education. Most of KU students don’t carry a condom because they are embarrassed to buy it.
Piyawat — Part II. Sex Education and simulation.
Sex education is important thing that everyone should know.
For example, basic sexual prevention such as using a condom, taking emergency contraceptive pill. If we know about it, we will ready to deal with the risk situation of having sex. In this part, we asked KU students about basic sexual prevention and how did they deal with the risk situation.
I’d like you to look at the slide. It shows the number of KU students who had ever been in the risk situation of having sex and what did they do in the situation. 56% had ever been in the risk situation and 71% of them tried to avoid having sex. 28% had sex and some of them didn’t prevent.
Piyawat — My next slide has two charts showing the number of KU student who know about basic sexual prevention, how to use a condom and how to take emergency contraceptive pill. As you can see some of KU students don’t know about it.
Piyawat — The last question is “Where did you learn the most about sex education?”. 69% learn sex education from the internet and only 3% learn from their parents. Everyone knows about online contents of the internet can be misleading, so we think that they should learn it from their parents.
Piyawat — In summary, most of KU students had ever been in the risk situation of having sex and most of them tried to avoid having sex. Some of KU students don’t know about basic sexual prevention such as using a condom and taking the pill. And KU students mostly learn sex education from the Internet.
Marisa — Part III. The prevention and solutions of the problems
Now, everyone knows about cause of the problems, how to deal with the risk situation and basic sex education. In this part, we asked KU student about how to prevent when they are having sex and the solutions of the problems.

Marisa — My next slide has two question “what do you think parents should discuss with their children about sex education?” and “what do you think school should teach us more about sex education?”. Most of KU student think that parents should discuss about sex with them, also school should teach them more.
Marisa — The next slide show the number of KU students who agree with the idea about selling condoms in school. 68% agree with the idea and 32% disagree.
Marisa — The last question is “Do you want to carry a condom and advice your friends to carry?”. As you can see, most of KU students want to carry a condom and advice their friends to carry.
Marisa — In summary, most of KU students choose to avoid having sex and using a condom for sexual prevention. Most of KU students agree with the idea about selling condoms in school and they think that parents should discuss about sex with them, also school should teach them more.
Nutcha — Conclusion
In Thai society people are not used to discussing with teenagers about sex. We think people, especially parents should be open minded because teenagers view sex as a normal issue. Thus, parents should teach their children how to protect themselves to stay “safe” when dealing with the risk situation.
Nutcha — Question
Do you agree with the idea about selling condoms in school? Why? or Why not?
