Sex and Relationships

How we express ourselves and how we relate to others are deeply important parts of our lives.

Developing a sense of your own sexuality and building intimate and satisfying relationships are important (and exciting!) parts of being human. In your teen years, you’re finding out who you are in your body and mind, what and who is important to you, and how you want to be in the world. That includes beginning to think about sex and relationships.

A person’s individual sexuality and their relationships with others can look lots of different ways. Getting to know what you like, what you value, and learning how to respect your and others’ needs will help you lead a happy, fulfilling life.

In this section we will discuss aspects of healthy sexuality and how to maintain healthy relationships with people in your life.
