Sex education today is influenced by social, cultural factors, family traditions, religion, friends and their context in general; family and formal education is an important part of adolescent sexuality training, it is said that to avoid unwanted pregnancies or sexually transmitted diseases, adults avoid talking about sexual education because they assure that they are not old enough, that is where they seek information elsewhere such as the internet or their friends. The information that parents provide to their children will be essential in starting early sexual activity. Work was carried out with 125 high school students from the "Belisario Quevedo" Educational Unit of Pujili Canton, the research was carried out with the mixed method, the qualitative method provided an analysis, interpretation and discussion of results, and through the quantitative method a previously validated instrument was applied. That allowed to obtain reliable statistical data, the union of these methods will allow to determine the existing correlation between the two variables. The correct application of the instrument and with the help of the verification of hypotheses, it canbe demonstrated that taboos do influence the sexual education of adolescents, also demonstrating that the information that teachers and parents provide is essential for a good comprehensive education in sexuality. Finally, a brief program proposal was implemented with the aim of guiding adolescents and guiding them to a healthy and responsible sexual life
