Description
Summary:The factors such as family, school, friends and media were combined and analyzed to measure the degree of influence among adolescents with regards to their views on pre-marital sex and marriage. A mini survey was conducted to 40 adolescents (male & female), 20 high school and 20 college students, which aided the construction of the self-administered questionnaire. These questionnaires were given to 300 students randomly selected from private exclusive high school and college in the National Capital Region (NCR). Results showed that school is considered the most influential factor on the views and behaviors among the respondents. On the other hand, media was proven to be least influential to high school students' views and behaviors. College respondents considered friends as least influential to their views and behaviors. Furthermore, results indicated that adolescents have a negative view on pre-marital sex, which lead to a positive outlook on marriage.
