This article reviews a Swahili play named ―Kilio Chetu‖ on the provision of sex education to school adolescents. Adolescents raise their voices against parents, guardians and administrators who don‘t want this cry heard, which continues to take their lives. They demand the right to education on matters affecting their lives. They want open and true discussions from the parents, guardians and administrators. Nevertheless, adolescents want walls preventing communication between them and their parents or guardians be demolished. For that matter, the discussions on sex education should be conducted timely and effectively. Also, the role played by school counsellors and/or psychologists in addressing particularly sexual behaviours and sex education in general should not be enfeebled. In so doing, problems related to pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and moral decay in the society can be reduced if not solved. Above all, the provision of sex education to adolescents is imperative as it brings about knowledge on adolescents‘ health.
