INTRODUCTION

Adolescents are parties from a younger era who have a vital role in determining the end of the state. During this period, there are rapid changes in physical, cognitive and psychosocial/behavioral and hormonal development. The flow of information that is increasingly influential today will make the younger generation able to access all information easily, without having to sort out what is right and wrong. This situation can divert the sexual perspective of adolescents so that adolescents carry out deviations from the norms that apply in society, one of which is discrimination that occurs in pregnancies outside of marriage (Ayu & Kurniawati, 2017).

The result of changing times is the number of free sex acts that result in pregnancies outside of marriage. When the adulteress gets pregnant out of wedlock, the perpetrator rarely keeps her womb. As a result, they will try to end their pregnancy prematurely or have an abortion (Akbar, 2019).

Good knowledge directs adolescents to healthy and capable sexual behavior. By extension, information can offer assistance in making critical individual choices regarding sexuality. Unnatural sexual information can lead to misperceptions or adolescent mindsets about sexuality so that in turn it will lead to sexual misconduct behavior in adolescents with all the consequences (Huri & Syofyan, 2019).

�The incidence of abortion is not solely related to health, but also depends closely on the moral, ethical, religious, legal, and regenerative rights of women. Most of the time, individuals carry out fetal removal or abortion in the event of an unwanted pregnancy due to various causes, both internal and external. or outside of marriage. Outside of marriage, the adoption of a fetus or abortion on a regular basis occurs as a result of a lifestyle such as sex once taking place among young people because they are not careful in establishing relationships. Therefore, there are many pregnancies out of wedlock, which causes panic for the woman and her family. In order to bring shame to the community, many of them decide to solve the problems they face, more specifically by having an abortion (Umi et el., 2019).

The World Health Organization (WHO) says 20 million abortions occur in the world every year and 70,000 women die from abortions every year. Abortion cases in Southeast Asia are 4.2 million per year, including Indonesia, which is 10-15% of 6 million pregnancies each year or 600,000-900,000, while artificial abortions are � 750,000-1.5 million that occur every year, 2,500 of them end in death. Nirma Surya Utami et al., 2021).

Indonesia is one area that does not allow abortion. The incidence of abortion in Indonesia is between 2 and 2.5 million cases per year or 43 abortions per 100 pregnancies. In addition, it is estimated that 30% of these abortions are performed by persons aged 15-24 years. Riskesdas 2010 revealed a national miscarriage rate of 4%. Of all miscarriages, 6.54% of them admitted that there was an attempt to terminate their pregnancy. By region, there are 4 regions that have the highest MMR rates, namely Southeast Sulawesi (14.29%), North Sumatra (13.86%), Aceh (13.33%), and West Nusa Tenggara (12.24%).

The exact number of unsafe abortions performed in Indonesia is not yet available, but research from Guttmacher estimates that 4/5 of abortions performed in Indonesia are carried out by traditional birth attendants, who are individuals who are not trained to perform abortions. The method used still uses a lot of foreign objects inserted into the vagina/womb (8%), herbs/other ingredients that are inserted into the vagina/womb (5%), acupuncture (4%), and paranormal (8%) (Ningsi, Aswita, & Wulandari, 2021).

Reproductive health disorders that often occur in adolescents are premarital sex problems that result in unwanted pregnancies, infectious infections, and sexual health problems experienced by adolescents. The results of research by WHO (World Health Organizations) suggest that currently the world's youth are 27% - 3% aged 10-24 years, 83% of them are in developing countries. As many as 80 million adolescent girls stated that they had had premarital sexual intercourse which would cause reproductive problems. 42 million cases of unwanted pregnancy, 20 million abortions, 340 million STIs and 3,174 cases of sexual violence. This is because the source of information obtained by adolescents is not true, therefore adolescents need to get the correct knowledge information, in order to have a correct and appropriate understanding (Sari, Sasanti, & Ningsih, 2021)

In Indonesia, it is clearly seen from several components of reproductive health problems described by the Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey where for young births it is quite high, namely 48%, for STDs there are 68% of adolescent girls and 86% of boys know syphilis, 34% of adolescent girls and 33 % of men know about gonorrhea, 21% of girls and 12% of men know about genital herpes in the incidence of juvenile delinquency and free sex >45%, adolescent sex workers are 60%, every year 20% of the 2.5 million abortions are teenagers (Benjamin et al., 2019).

The Indonesian Adolescent Reproductive Health Survey (SKRRI) conducted in 2019 stated that the percentage of women and men aged 15-24 years who were unmarried and had had sexual intercourse before marriage, namely women aged 15-19 years as many as 0.9%, women aged 15-19 years 20-24 years as much as 2.6%, while for males aged 15-19 years as much as 3.6% and aged 20-24 years as much as 14.0% (Liang et al., 2019).

In Southeast Sulawesi Province, based on data from the Indonesian Demographic and Population Survey (IDHS) in 2019, there were 24% of respondents, in 2020 there were 33% of respondents, while in 2021 there were 43% of respondents. So it was recorded that unmarried teenagers claimed to have had an abortion, either intentional or spontaneous (miscarriage) when experiencing an unwanted pregnancy. Meanwhile, some respondents continued their pregnancy until birth, including those who had had an abortion but failed.

According to information from the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) of Southeast Sulawesi, adolescents in Kendari City, both male and female, 71% and 70%, separately admitted to having had a lover. Age starts with starting normal dating at the age of 15 years. Of the teenagers who already have a boyfriend, 74% of men and 75% of women say they still have a girlfriend. Judging from adolescent sexual relations in Kendari City, there are 2% of women and 5% of men who claim to have had sexual relations. In general, out of 14,681 young men and young women who already have a boyfriend, 4% have had sexual intercourse (Rismawati, 2022).

Based on data on abortion cases that have been handled by the police in Kendari City, in 2019 as many as 20% of 3 abortion cases. At that time there was an increase in 2020 by 33% from 5 abortion cases. Meanwhile, in 2021 abortion cases increased to 47% of the 7 abortion cases that occurred in the city of Kendari. (Kendari City Police).

Based on a preliminary study conducted by researchers at SMA Negeri 2 Kendari, interviews were conducted on 15 students, there were 9 students who did not know about the causes and dangers of abortion. While 6 students already know about the causes and dangers of abortion. Interviews were conducted regarding reproductive health from 15 female students, there were 8 people who did not know about personal hygiene of reproductive organs and personal hygiene during menstruation.
