THE SOCIAL WELFARE DEPARTMENT AND WELFARE AGENCIES PLACE GREAT EMPHASIS ON THE PROMOTION OF FAMILY LIFE EDUCATION FOR YOUTHS, THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL WELFARE (OPERATIONS), MRS EVELYN DOE, SAID TODAY.
SPEAKING AT THE OPENING CEREMONY OF AN INTERNATIONAL YOUTH YEAR EVENT +TWO TO ONE+ AT THE NEW WORLD PLAZA, MRS DOE SAID ONE OF THE AIMS WAS TO ENHANCE YOUNG PEOPLE'S KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND ON THE POSITIVE VALUES CONCERNING SEX AND MARRIAGE.
+THROUGH THESE PROGRAMMES, IT IS HOPED THAT A YOUNG PERSON MAY DEVELOP A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN RESPECT OF HIMSELF, HIS SPOUSE, HIS FAMILY AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY, SHE SAID.
MRS DOE SAID SOME YOUNG PEOPLE MIGHT ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTY WHEN GROWING UP BECAUSE OF HUMAN RELATIONSHIP AND ADAPTABILITY, AND THEY SHOULD BE PROPERLY GUIDED AND ADVISED TO ALLEVIATE THE IR WORRIES AND MISCONCEPTIONS.
+A FEW MAY EVEN COMMIT SEX OFFENCES DUE TO BAD INFLUENCE AND MISUNDERSTANDING OF SEX RELATIONSHIP,+ SHE SAID.
