"Should I have Sex?"
"I'm not sure"
"It doesn't feel right"
"Everyone else seems to be doing it"
There are lots of decisions. Whether or not to have sex, what sort of sex, condoms, contraception, infections and lots more. It can be confusing; sometimes it can feel that you don't have a choice. Don't be afraid to ask for help and support, you could talk to any of the people at the special services for young people.
Sometimes it can feel that there is a pressure to have sex, everyone may seem to be doing it (even though they may not be really).
If you are not sure, it may not be the right time for you. Don't feel that you have to rush anything. It's fine to say no to sex. It's your body and your choice.
Again don't be afraid of asking for help. Talk about it. You could think about talking with your doctor, a parent or carer, a supportive teacher or perhaps a friend. Pick someone who you trust and ask them to listen to you.
There are lots of choices and they are your choices.
Relationships
Sex. Sometimes it can seem like everybody's doing it, and that they've tried everything. You might be feeling left out, unattractive, left on the shelf, frigid... Don't believe it! Sex can be wonderful, pleasurable and fulfilling - but it's important that you make the decision to do it when you feel ready, not because people on 'Eastenders' are doing it or your friends are encouraging you to do it.
