Sex - Yes or No?

 It can be difficult to decide whether you're ready to start having sex or not.

> It’s a decision only you can make.
> It's important that you make that choice and don't feel pressured into making a choice you’re not happy with.

> Having sex before you’re ready could leave you feeling hurt and confused.

> It will help if you are clear about what you do and don't want to do and are able to communicate this to your partner.

> You may get the impression that everyone of your age is having sex. They're not! Many of them may be having the same doubts that you are.

> Different people make different decisions about when is the right time to start having sex based on their beliefs, their religion or their culture.

> Some young people decide to go along with the beliefs they have grown up with, others decide that they wish to make a different decision based on their own views.
