TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
There is a boy that I know and he asked if he can have sex with me and I > said no. Is that good or bad? Please help?

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Hey, I'm so glad you contacted TEEN LINE. It sounds like you're feeling quite confused right now; which I think is totally normal when it comes to sex. I'm really proud of you for setting a boundary for yourself with this boy, even if right now you're you're feeling unsure. I can imagine that making this decision must have been very difficult, and maybe a little scary...but you should never feel like you have to have sex if you aren't ready or feeling uncomfortable. If you want to call TEEN LINE to talk more, our number is 310 855 4673, 6 to 10 P.M. PST.
