Abstract

As social beings, humans need other people in living life. In this case, it's a friend. The friend in question is someone who is always there when things are hard/happy, or when needed, a friend like that is called a friendship. Establishing interpersonal relationships (friendships) is important. The existence of interpersonal relationships can provide support, assistance, and comfort. There are times when a human has friends of different genders. Especially for the alpha generation who are more open-minded in terms of choosing friends, which means they are not limited to gender. However, in reality, there are still many friend zone phenomena that can damage friendships. Even worse, there are many cases of sexual violence against their friends. Therefore an understanding of sex education and self-awareness is needed to strengthen cross-sex friendships in the alpha generation. This article aims to provide a deeper understanding of how to strengthen cross-sex friendships. Based on the results of a literature study, sex education that is integrated with self-awareness can strengthen cross-sex friendships.
