Hi there,
In any relationship its important to trust each other and to feel like youre not being pushed too quickly. If you dont feel ready to have sex yet then its okay to say no. Its wrong for your partner to try to get you to do things you dont want to do.
There are all kinds of emotions going on at any one time in a relationship. We might be feeling loved, trusted and secure whilst at the same time feeling scared of losing them and worried about what they might think. It can be a really amazing time but if things arent going right, it can also be stressful.
Its not okay for your girlfriend to try and push you into having sex. Youre right that it would be against the law for you both to have sex. Its absolutely fine for you not to feel ready. People become ready for sex at different ages but at 12 years old you definitely wouldnt be the only one feeling this way.
Good relationships are built on trust and communication. If you are not able to trust her because you feel she is doing things behind your back that's a sign you may need to talk about this with her. There are difficult decisions to make when a relationship is not going how it should. This is why talking about it is important. It allows you to say everything you feel you want to say.
Youre entitled to your views and feelings. In an equal relationship she is entitled to hers too. What you do next if these views dont match is up to you, but I think its definitely worth talking that through with someone else that you trust to see what they think. This could be a ChildLine counsellor if you wanted.
Remember that your feelings are important and if you dont want to have sex yet, you shouldnt be forced into that. I hope this helps.
Take care, Sam
