Résumé
Les relations amoureuses occupent une partie centrale de la vie des adolescents. Le flirt et la romance sont souvent chez les adolescents les principaux sujets de conversations et sont d’ailleurs liés à des émotions tant positives que négatives. Cette étude analyse les tendances des relations amoureuses, dans quelle mesure le secret est partagé avec d’autres et les parents, dans la métropole d’Ibadan. Elle fait usage d’une combinaison de méthodes qui a permis de conclure que les adolescents sont confrontés à des dilemmes d’ordre culturel, religieux, conjoncturel, et à d’autres qu’ils s’imposent eux-mêmes, car ils se demandent où situer la frontière entre le privé et le public. Les expériences sexuelles antérieures non sollicitées et les media ont servi d’importants catalyseurs au désir de sortir avec quelqu’un. Le genre et l’âge ont été des facteurs déterminants dans les tendan- ces dégagées, montrant qu’il ya plus de filles impliquées dans le jeu de la romance que de garçons, et que les adolescents plus âgés (17-19 ans) sont enclins à partager plus avec leurs pairs sur leurs relations amoureuses que les 14-16 ans. Cette étude a aussi permis d’établir que lorsque les parents soup- çonnent leurs enfants adolescents d’avoir une relation amoureuse, car doutant de leur capacité à gérer leurs histoires amoureuses, la plupart de ces adolescents ne disent pas exactement la vérité sur le sujet.
