Over 27000 teenage births are registered in Romania annually, ranking our country on the second place in Europe after Great Britain, and the number of births in the case of teeangers under 15 years has increased up to 50% after the year 1990. This phenomenon is caused by the decrease of pubertal age on national level together with the failure of sexual education in school and family.From this point of view statistics shows that the situation becomes critical and urgent measures of rising of educational influences are required. In Romanian school sexual education is not a compulsory subject as it is in other countries. Sexuality is still a taboo topic what requires an alternative approach.
The article aims to provide a model of good practices describing a site that offers online counseling to the teenagers, concerning educational topics such as sexual health.
The site we are about to present offers teenagers accurate information concerning human sexuality and a forum location.We suggest a way of online counseling just to encourage teenagers to express their fears by protecting their identity.
Online environment is considered to be much more accessible to young generation and the presentation of a psychological counseling model is useful.
This way we hope that we will reduce school abandonment, we will prevent teenagers’ premature births and we will lower extremely high social costs taking into consideration that teenagers’ babies will be probably socially assisted by the Romanian governement.
E-learning solution for teenagers’ sexual education that we suggest comes to parents and teachers’ assistance not only by the information offered but also by testing the problems they rise. | Keywords
