Abstract

A historical debt to children and adolescents has been the problem of unwanted pregnancies in childhood and adolescence, because, within the framework of the patriarchal system, the ideas of "romantic love" are inculcated; and because of this, during these stages it is usual to begin to generate idealizations of first love, the first kiss, to begin to feel attraction for someone and other "rose-colored" experiences that have been sold by the entertainment industry. However, reality can be far from fiction and a variety of situations arise that are essential to address with adolescents to ensure their full development within society.
