some lines about delay for us as workers to take with young people

  • “If you’re not sure then you’re probably not ready”

  • “Putting off sex for a while can help you feel more in control"

  • “Just because you’re saying ‘No’ now doesn’t mean you always will”

  • “If they’d dump you if you won’t – do you really want them?”

  • “How do you feel about it?”

  • “You do have the right to say ‘no’ you know”

  • “I’m not happy with that – I want something better for you”

  • “It’s not unusual for someone your age not to be having sex”

  • “Most people aren’t having sex yet - even though they say they are!”

  • “Whenever you say ‘no’ to one thing, you’re saying yes to something else”

  • “Most people don’t have sex till after they’re 16, you know”

  • “What kind of relationship do you want?”

AND OF COURSE………

  • “I’M JUST WONDERING WHERE YOU ARE IN ALL OF THIS?
