Relationships
Partners
For many people, partners, sex and relationships can be really hard to talk about.
You may be too embarrassed, worried or confused to talk to anyone close to you. But don't worry, all our Personal Advisers are happy to help you either see one in school or visit your local Connexions centre and make an appointment.
Alternatively you can use the links opposite to get helpful information and facts on relationships, and how best to deal with them.
If you are lesbian, gay or bisexual, you may find it difficult to discuss your sexuality with your friends and family.
