Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Boys Town National Hotline, we appreciate your email. Dealing with relationship issues can be a very difficult thing, so it is great that you are reaching out for help.

Dating can be a very exciting thing at your age, but along with this excitement often comes a lot of pressure! It is okay to talk about expectations in a relationship, but it is also important to not do anything that you don't want to do. It is great that you are smart enough to know that having sex at your age is not a good choice and it is not okay for anyone to pressure into doing anything. If your current boyfriend wants to be with you, then he will respect your feelings when it comes to being physical and if not, maybe he is not the right boy for you.

If you want to talk or need advice, please contact one of our counselors at 1-800-448-3000. We are here 24/7 and would love to talk with you!

Take Care,

Ashley, Crisis Counselor
