Abstract

Adolescence is a Latin word, which means “a process of growing up.” Many psychologists and sociologists consider it as a very important phase of life, as all the major sexual
orientations take place during this time of an individual. In addition, perception building
and morality are put in the form of bricks to the new base of adulthood that ultimately
gives a direction to the physical, social and psychological consequences faced in one’s
life.This paper tries to throw some light how sexuality and morality are interweave together to put an adolescent into his/her specific role which is either socially accepted or
rejected. Otherrelated factors will also be discussedas they are somehow directly or indirectly shapes the perception regarding one’s own sexuality.
