When it comes to sex, relationships, and consent, establishing boundaries and figuring out who you are and what you want is never simple - especially as a teenager. What' s the line between a friendship and a romantic partner? How can you learn to trust your body' s signals? And what if you' re not quite sure what your sexuality is?
