Pregnancy
Being taught how to prevent pregnancy was mentioned by a large number of learners, often in conjunction with STDs and HIV/AIDS (e.g. f15g "They teach us how can we safe ourselves from all diseases and not fall pregnant").
Particularly many learners from school H mentioned pregnancy, but again without much elaboration. Two exceptions were the following:
g40g "About teenagers who fall pregnant at a very young age"
i35g "I’ve learn that sex is not God because we can get pregnant and it is not right"
A few learners expressed a need to learn more about pregnancy as such. Several others asked detailed questions suggesting they may not feel sufficiently well informed about the process of conception:
| a1g "What is it that if you had sex yesterday and menstruate the following day. Is it a sickness?" |
| a5g "What was happened if a girl slept with a boy without using a condom and never fall pregnant" |
| c43g "I want to learn about Menstruation and Sexual Transmitted disease" |
| a19g "I want to know how did you get baby if you are HIV positive" |
| g11g "Family planning and menstruation more than anything" |
| g32g "How to take a virginity test" |
