Abstract

Peer relationships have a strong role in the lives of adolescents because these relationships can lead to mutual trust in peers compared to teachers or parents. Based on some research results, students need the help of others to optimize their development. One of the needs of high school students to complete their developmental tasks is sex education. The urgency of sex education is very important, but it is still considered by society. One of the efforts that can be made to campaign for sex education is through the process of peer guidance and counseling. Sex education can utilize peer relationships through peer counselors. The purpose of peer counselors is to help socialize the role and function of guidance and counseling, one of which is to guide the form of sex education socialization. With the advancement of technology, it is easier for peer counselors to provide services through online platforms. Of course, peer counselors need to be given training from professionals such as guidance and counseling teachers. Therefore, this article is written using the literature study method to describe the urgency, effectiveness, and benefits of online peer counselor training to optimize sex education in high school students.
