Alongside with adolescent birth rates, the number of births by adolescent mothers and the adolescent fertility proportion were in increasing trend. The number of births by adolescent mothers, both 10-14 and 15-19 years, were lowest in the year 2000. Since the year 2000, the number of births by women aged 10-14 were rapidly increased from 1,444 births to 3,725 births in the year 2012. Two indicators were used to describe adolescent sexual activity in this study, the proportion of sexually experience adolescents and the proportion of condom use at first sex. The data source was the Youth risk behavior survey conducted by the Bureau of Epidemiology. The survey started in 1996 targeted only matthayom 5 students. In 2004, matthayom 2 and vocational college 2 students were also included in the surveys. In matthayom 2 group, the proportion of sexually experience adolescents increased from 3.6 to 4.2 and 1.1 to 3.0 in male and female students group, respectively. Fig. 2. demonstrated increasing trend of the proportion of sexually experience adolescents in matthayom 5 and vocational college 2 students. The vocational college 2 students clearly had more sexual experiences than matthayom 5 students in both male
and female students group. The proportions of condom at first sexual intercourse were rapidly increased from the year 1998 to 2005. However, after the year 2005, the proportions of condom at first sexual intercourse seem to be stable at about 50% in all groups, both male and female students. Fig. 3. compared the proportions of condom at first sexual intercourse between matthayom 5 and vocational college 2 students.
