Every person has the right to make decisions regarding their own body. This is a human right. But what does it mean?

Being in love is usually a wonderful feeling. Some people have been in love many times; others have never been in love.

In some families or extended families, it’s important that no-one brings dishonour to the family. There may be rules within the family or extended family, for example that a girl is not allowed to have sex before she is married. This means that she can’t have a boyfriend, or spend her free time with boys. This is known as honour-related violence or oppression and it’s illegal. It is also a breach of your human rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Everyone feels bad sometimes. This may be because something tough has happened or because you are worried about something that is going to happen. But sometimes you may feel bad without knowing why. There are things you can do to make yourself feel better. You can also get help to feel better.
