Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to examine and compare differences in adolescents prior and post sexual initiation. Using the t-Student test, differences in the following variables were analysed: fear, anger, satisfaction with life, self-esteem and school results. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Anger Expression Scale (AES), Rosenberg’s Self-esteem (SES) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used. Also, influence of the age of sexual initiation and of the number of partners on the quality of life and results achieved at school were investigated.
