I am 12, my 14-year-old boyfriend wants us to have sex

Hi Rosie,

I am 12, and my boyfriend is 14.  We have been going out for about 9 months. Everything was great until last month when he wanted us to have sex. Rosie, I said no, and he said I should prove to him how committed I am to the relationship, if not he’ll know my answer and will have to move on to a more mature partner. What should I do, Rosie? I don’t want to lose him!  Help me please!

Dear Forcing Me,

Girl, girl, girl! You are a smart little young lady. You KNOW your worth and I’m going to encourage you to stick to you grounds … It’s NO!

He wants a more mature partner? Please!! You are 12 and a child and he’s also a child of 14! What kind of mature he’s looking for? A working woman? Again… Please! All that chat is to make you feel bad, don’t fall for it – EVER!
Could you imagine if you gave in, got pregnant or even worse, a disease? Oh no miss, we aren’t having any of that.

The thing is, take a look at him and see if this is somebody who you even consider a friend. Maybe parting ways may not be the worse thing. Remember, if other people are doing it doesn’t make it right. So stand strong, sister girl.

You will go far!

Rosie
