This leaflet was inspired by one produced in
Iowa,USA. We ran a competition in Milton
Keynes secondary schools and youth clubs
and in one of the local papers asking for
people's answers to the question:

If you and your girlfriend or boyfriend had
decided to wait before having sex...how
would you let the other person know you
loved her or him ?

Thanks very much to everyone who replied !

 

If you would like to talk to someone (in
confidence) about anything to do with
relationships, or if you do need advice about
contraception or sexually transmitted diseases,
you should contact the You2 Project on
01908 220042 or the Brook Advisory Centre on
01908 669215
