When you say no, stick to no. Many people won’t take no for an answer. They’ll push and prod, test you and pull you. “Can you make it to that really cool party tonight?” they’ll ask you, and you’ll undoubtedly want to say yes. You need to learn how to say no and stick to saying no.

Saying no when someone has asked you to have sex with them is challenging. If they are close to you and state something like, “I won’t love you unless you do this for me,” then say, “I’ll wait for someone else who will love me.”

If someone comes back and asks again, then you should tell them you are still firm on your no. Give reasons for why you are not having sex. Make sure they understand.

If they ask a third time, say no when there are a lot of people around. Make sure someone overhears you saying no.

If someone is continuously harassing you in any area, regardless of the subject matter, you should consult someone who is older than you. This could be a buddy, a friend, or a counselor, or even a teacher. Many counselors and teachers at school are more than willing to talk openly about tough issues.

Remember: Say no, and stick to it.
