dc.description.abstractYouths are an integral part of the society. Contributions being made towards development all over the world involve youths in one manner or another. However, the period of youthfulness is quite problematic. It is a time stage in which people are just discovering various elements of themselves. As such, the youths often fall prey to peer pressure. Peer pressure can be quite harmful to youths, eroding their sense of self-confidence and independence. As such, the study sought to determine the nature of the association between peer pressure and attitude towards premarital sex. The study made use of the Social Bond Theory in order to facilitate better understanding of peer pressure. The study adopted a qualitative design, using a quantitative method of data collection and analysis. Using a multistage sampling technique, 400 respondents were selected for the study. The obtained data were analyzed using spear man rank correlation. The analyzed data reveal a significant association between peer pressure and youths' attitude to premarital sex. Based on this, the study recommends that seminars be organized to enlighten youths on self-confidence
