    It is not an understatement to say that in Nigeria, terrorism has been a constant threat to all aspects of health including physical, social and psychological wellbeing of the people. The most prominent of the problems faced by the nation today is the Boko Haram insurgency. Boko Haram is a terrorist group which strongly perceive western education as forbidden. They then began the killings of who ever have received western education. They kidnap mostly, women and girls of childbearing age. The gruesome attacks by Boko Haram insurgents on women cannot be overemphasized. Girls are been abducted and used as suicide bombers while others are brutally raped and impregnated. Some of these women after being rescued result to abortion of the unwanted pregnancies while others see it as their fate and may decide to have the babies. This gave rise to series of reproductive health problems among the internally displaced persons (women) especially those living in the internally displaced camps. Several conditions in their new abode have made them prone to HIV, STIs, abortion, domestic violence, infertility and other reproductive health challenges. Effective reproductive health care is advocated for these women

Test-retest method was used to establish the reliability of the instrument using Pearson Product Moment Correlation, coefficient of 0.75r was obtained. Inferential statistics of Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of the study revealed that method of curriculum implementation has significant relationship in achieving optimal health status calculated (r) value (0.231) > critical value (0.117); experience of physical and health education teachers also has significant relationship in achieving optimal health status calculated (r) value (0.134) > critical value (0.117).

Through stratified and simple random sampling technique, a sample of 200 respondents was selected. Questionnaire was used as the instrument of data collection. A test-re-test was conducted and reliability coefficient (r) of 0.89 was obtained. Data collected was analyzed with inferential statistics involving Pearson Product Moment Correlation at 0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that there is significant relationship between early sexual activities and sexually transmitted diseases among secondary school student in Olorunda since calculated r-value of .308 is greater than critical r of 0.116 at degree of freedom of 198 at 0.05 level of significance and there is significant relationship between substance abuse and sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers in secondary schools in Olorunda since calculated r-value of .497 is greater than critical-r of 0.116 at degree of freedom of 198 at 0.05 level of significance. It is therefore necessary that schools have a role to play in facilitating the access of young people to necessary reproductive health services so that student may bridge knowledge and attitude with action against early sexual activities and student should be educated on the health implication of substance used in order to avoid contraction of sexually transmitted diseases.
