[Premature sexual activity among girls and an attempt at sex education].
In connection with early sexual activity among juveniles the authors interview 292 girls at the age of 15-18 years in three towns (Sofia, Pleven, Cherven Bryag). Sexual activity is studied in girls as well as their initial information level in taking decision for sexual participation. 38 (13.01) of the girls were sexually experienced as 12 (13.57%) of them had sexual activity more than 2 years. Girls, aged 16 and 17 years, had the highest sexual activity (44.75%). 10 (26.31%) of the sexually active girls had more than 2 partners. 11 (28.95%) of the girls were informed very well, but 4 (10.53%) of them had almost no information. 4 (10.53%) of sexually experienced girls used contraceptives and those were mainly condoms and pills. The necessity of timely sexual education is stressed, taking into consideration that pregnancy is a consequence of early sexual activity at adolescent age.
