SEKSUALNO DEVIJANTNO PONAŠANJE ADOLESCENATA
SEXUAL DEVIANT BEHAVIOR OF ADOLESCENTS

Summary/Abstract: Deviant behavior is behavior that deviates from generally accepted behaviors in a particular culture. Given that human sexuality is a very complex area for research and discussion, it is very difficult to determine the boundaries of deviant and acceptable sexual behavior. Considering the fact that the right to sexual expression and protection is one of the fundamental human rights, it is still important to problematize some sexual practices in the context of social acceptability and necessity of pedagogical action. Due to globalization, digitalization and increasing availability of content, young people are more at risk of developing deviant behaviors based on the Internet such as sexting (sexual content sharing) and sextortion (revenge pornography). These forms occur very frequently during adolescence, increasing the ability to participate in acts previously considered deviant such as rape, sexual abuse, and promiscuous behavior. The boundaries set between acceptable and unacceptable behavior today are thinner than ever. The issue of consent, enjoyment, protection and the right to expression have never been relevant among all age groups. In addition to all the above, it is important to point out the lack of a well-developed system that will provide young people with knowledge and skills necessary for healthy development and functioning in society, prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
