Use this guide to help you understand your health needs and what you can do to keep yourself healthy and fit.

Sex

Having sex, thinking about having sex, or just curious?

It is a normal part of growing up and can play a very important part in our relationships. It can also be very confusing!

So, where can you find information on contraceptives, sexually transmitted diseases, how to say no if you are not ready, and why you might be attracted to both boys and girls?

  • NHS Choices Sex and young people – information about all aspects of sexual relationships.
  • C-Card scheme – provides free condoms to young people.
  • Lambeth Safeguarding Children Board – provides advice about sex and relationships.
  • Your GP – doctors' surgeries may offer a range of information and services to do with sexual health. Not all surgeries offer all of the services so it is best to check with them first.
