Notions and ideas about sexuality were a prohibited topic till long time back but now adolescents are much aware and filled with various kinds of knowledge on the same. Researchers have shown that parents play the most significant role in imparting sex education to their adolescent children. They have been found to be the primary sex educators where basic and the initial knowledge about sexual attitudes and the like are conveyed on to the children. This study is basically on the attitudes, knowledge and behavior about sexuality among adolescents. It has been done by gathering data on the previous research studies conducted in this area.
