A teenager’s view of puberty

Abstract

Explores what teenagers really think about growing up using the draw and write technique. Tests the relevancy of this technique with older pupils and discusses the outcomes. Leads to questioning the content of the school′s sex education programme. Suggests the technique might be used as an introductory activity to be repeated after the lesson(s) to enable pupils to compare their own responses and to enable evaluation of the programme so that the next lesson can be planned accordingly.
