Re: Dating

Date all you want, but do not have sex. If you do, he can be convicted of statutory rape and for the rest of his life will be labeled as a sexual offender.

You didn't say you like him. Do you? Or are you just flattered because the guy likes you?

Talk to your parents and/or any other adults who you feel is wise.

Whatever you do, please don't have unprotected sex. You could get various serious diseases, such as AIDS, or get pregnant and ruin the rest of your life.

Do not give in to pressure, please!
