Thinking about having sex?
If the answer is yes then there are a few things you might want to think about.
Having sex is a natural thing, but you should only go ahead if you really want to. You should never do something to please someone else or just because your pals are doing it because the chances are you’ll probably regret it, and once you’ve done it, you can’t undo it. You also need to think about keeping yourself safe, not just from pregnancy, but from STI’s. There is more information on safer sex, contraception and STI’s throughout the website, just click on the links. It’s also good to have someone to talk to if you want some advice, if you feel that you can’t talk to your parents (although you never know they might surprise you) then what about another family member or a good friend you can trust. There are also lots of good websites where you can get the facts.
