How to Say "No" to Sex


Being an adolescent is not always easy. In fact, teens are often faced with very complicated and important decisions. One such decision is whether or not to have sex. We all are aware of the perils associated with teen sex. Many teens want to say "no" but peer pressure, a desire to look "cool" or the lack of assertiveness prevents them from doing so. For those wanting to say "no" but are having problems, here are some ways to say "no" that work.

Say no and keep saying no as many times as it takes to get the point across.

Before the occasion arises, practice what you would say if someone pressured you to have sex.

Get out of a troublesome situation by walking away and staying away.

Use body language that helps make your point.
Stand tall, speak clearly and confidently, and look the person straight in the eye when saying no.

Beware of "pressure lines" and respond accordingly. For instance if someone says "Everybody's doing it." you respond "I'm not everybody. I don't have to do it because anyone else is."

Being true to yourself means being assertive when the time comes. Saying "no" won't always be easy but saying the right things at the right time will get your point across.
