Adolescence is a period of life in which the individual distances himself symbolically from the family, linking with those with whom they identify, establishing bonds of loyalty with their peers. This is because at this stage of life adolescents are faced with various challenges, such as: physical and biological changes, demands for autonomy and independence, new friendships and preparation for a profession. Thus, adolescents are believed to seek mutual help, interaction, and affection with their peers. Considering the relevance that peers exert in the adolescent's life, it is believed that peer learning facilitates communication and sharing of experiences. The present article explores the impressions of the first year students of the Technical Course on Integrated Food to High School and the students / multipliers of the third year of the same course, regarding the experience of dialoguing and sharing knowledge and experiences with the pairs, regarding sexuality and affections, using as a reference the methodology of Peer Education, proposed by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. The methodological trajectory chosen was the action-research, with a qualitative approach. The data were collected through interviews and observation of the workshops carried out by the multipliers.
