Table 3 The changes that occurred as a result of adolescent education with peer educators

Changes in peer educators

I was given a role

I am now called teacher

I felt the joy of being chosen by God

I wanted to gain the trust of my friends

I needed to change first to teach my friends

I realized how important it is to have confidence as a teacher

I found it meaningful

I felt the joy of seeing my friends change because of what I taught them

I understood that the activities I was doing were meaningful

I have many more friends to teach, so I wanted to continue

Changes that occured in students who received adolescent education from peer educators

I gained the right knowledge

I understood more through continuous discussion

I no longer feel anxious about secondary sexual characteristics

I felt a sense of freedom and security in being able to talk about anything

I wanted to do the right thing

I gained the confidence to say no

I want to share what I was taught with other friends

I gained control over my sexual interests and desires

I know what I should and should not do

I learned about negative consequences

I understand what is not necessary for me right now
