Penyuluhan Pendidikan Seks Bagi Siswa SMPN 4 Terbanggi Besar

Abstract

The purpose of this activity was to increase students' knowledge about the importance of maintaining reproductive health, preventing sexually transmitted diseases, and understanding the impact of irresponsible sexual behavior. The counseling methods used included lectures, interactive discussions, and case simulations. The material was delivered in a structured manner using language that was appropriate to the students' cognitive development. This counseling emphasized a preventive approach by providing information and building awareness of the importance of responsible behavior in everyday life. The results of the activity showed that after the counseling, there was a significant increase in the level of student understanding. Before the activity, only about 30% of students had basic knowledge of sex education. However, after the counseling, more than 85% of students were able to answer questions correctly related to the material presented. In addition, students showed high enthusiasm in discussions, reflecting their interest in this topic. This activity has a positive impact on students and strengthens the role of schools in supporting character education and adolescent health.
