Four research questions and four hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. The sample size consisted of 200 Senior Secondary School Students randomly selected. The statistical methods adopted were descriptive and inferential statistics. The major findings were;   There is a significant relationship between single parent and adolescents involvements in premarital sex; There is a significant relationship between intact parent and adolescent’s involvement in premarital sex ;  There is a significant relationship between juvenile delinquency and adolescents involvements in premarital sex ;  There is no significant relationship between socio- economic status of parents and adolescent’s involvements in premarital sex; there is a significant gender difference in the involvements of adolescents in premarital sex. The following recommendations were made among others; considering the upsurge of teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, educating adolescents about sexuality requires joint effort by parents, counsellors, teachers, curriculum planners and even government. Counsellors should try new strategies like counselling on proper gender role perception and abstinence to help them stay away from sex until they   are  ready.
