I have to do an assignment in my health class but, I'm have a little trouble doing it. I need to write 5 letter responses. I wonder anyone could help me if you can.
Assignment: Healthy Decision Making -- Sexual Discussions
first question:
I don’t want to become sexually active yet, but I’m really afraid of losing my girlfriend/boyfriend. What do I do?
Boyfriends/girlfriends come and go. Abstinence is a one shot deal. Also, someone that is pressuring you to do something you don't want to do probably isn't a good person to be going out with.
Tell the partner clearly how you feel. If s/he really cares about you (rather than your body), s/he may be a little frustrated, but they should understand and respect your wishes. If not, as Dan indicates, find someone else who will respect your wishes.
Here is an article that relates tangentially:

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
To respond to the first question, you can follow these steps to write a 5-letter response:
1. Start by addressing the person's concern: "Understand your feelings."
2. Acknowledge the importance of open communication: "Talk openly."
3. Emphasize the significance of consent and boundaries: "Respect your choices."
4. Suggest alternative ways of building and maintaining the relationship without engaging in sexual activity: "Explore non-sexual bonding."
5. Encourage seeking support from trusted adults, friends, or counselors: "Seek guidance."
Now, let's combine these steps to create a 5-letter response: "Talk, trust, wait, bond, seek."
Remember, this response is just a starting point. Feel free to expand upon these thoughts and add more information to provide a comprehensive answer.
