The findings from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) revealed that parents made an effort to monitor their children's movements. When asked to discuss how parents contribute to students' lives and progress in school, most of the participants said that most parents contribute by providing moral support to their children. Parents must be able to know what their children are doing in and after school.
Most of the participants believed that most parents contribute to their children's education and their school work, pay their school fees, buy them books and take care of them. Some parents force their children to sell things after school so that they have little time to study." Parents who have or think about a good future for their children always ask what they are doing in school and tell them to study hard , to be better than them.
For some parents, there is nothing that bothers them about their children's education because they are not educated and do not show any interest in their children's task; while some parents still show interest in their children's studies despite the fact that they are uneducated". "Some parents trust their children so much that they don't have to come to school to know how they are doing or even ask them." Digital Satellite Television (DSTV), most of the participants were of the opinion that some parents who have cable television at home monitor the channels watched and only allow their children to watch educational programs.
Some parents guide their children to watch educational programs on certain channels related to their children's careers, for example television programs. Some parents sit with their children and immediately turn off the television if they show sexually intimate scenes, while others sit with their children and say they are learning and gaining experience for the future.” The FGD findings on parent-child relationship and presence described that participants had a very close relationship with their parents and that most parents liked their children and gave them what they needed.
Some parents love their children; they give them everything they ask for, while some refuse to send their children to school because they did not want to sell their goods to them.” FGD participants stated that it is important for parents to spend time with their children, but some parents do not feel this important. The FGD highlighted the importance of good communication between parents and their children, as all participants agreed that this is an important factor in ensuring a good relationship between parents and their children.
During the FGD, most of the participants said that students within the study area do not like to discuss sexual issues with their parents. Parents need to know the ins and outs of their children and the type of friends they have too.
Pattern of sexual behavior of respondents
Such students do not come back because of the fear of being expelled from school”. When asked about their opinion about the sexual behavior of students in their schools, most of the participants said that although some students were involved in one or the other sexual relationship, some students are focused. Some of the participants mentioned that some male students usually referred to as ―(International Toasters Union - ITU), influenced some good students to get involved in bad sexual practices.
They also added that there were still some students who were "very innocent" and had not initiated sex. Most students knew about condom use and said that even those who were not sexually active knew about condoms. Some of the discussants mentioned that some students use nylon and other methods.
The FGD participants also mentioned that most students were influenced by their friends to have intercourse. Pornographic movies like "hardcore, texture" when they watch it.uhm" Some say they did assignments on internet browsing and watch "actionting". Most of the participants agreed that there were many sources of information for students, but that most people got their information from television, pornographic films and the Internet.
They said, ―The ―ITU‖ boys/girls sneak out of school and watch these movies. Others said that most students would not watch bad movies at home, or do so when their parents are not home. In the survey, respondents who were not related to their parents were more than one and a half times more likely to have had sex in the past 3 months than their counterparts who are related to their parents.
Respondents who had low attachment to their parents were significantly older compared to their counterparts who were attached (p=0.075). A higher proportion of respondents from monogamous families were also strongly attached to their parents compared to those from polygamous families. Respondents who were strongly attached to their parents and had one sexual partner were 8.3% compared to 16.9% who had low attachment.
Identifying the domain of parental connectedness that affects the sexual behaviour of public secondary school students
This chapter is divided into five subsections as follows: socio-demographic characteristics of respondents, respondents' level of connectedness, respondents' sexual behavior, the relationship between parental connectedness and students' sexual behavior, identifying the domains of parental connectedness that influence sexual behavior and implications of the findings for health education. In this study, regardless of the type of school, most respondents currently live with both parents (father and mother) with a median of 15 years. A similar finding was reported by Poon (2008), which showed that a large majority of respondents in the survey live with their parents.
In this study, the majority of participants strongly agreed that their parents (mothers more than fathers) showed love, warmth and affection towards them – a finding well supported by the FGD results. However, the effect of parent-child communication appears to depend on the openness of communication, the clear focus on sexual topics, the quality of the parent-child relationship, and the parents' values regarding adolescent sexual activity (Miller et al, 2001).
