Choosing a Support System

Your support system is not just about how many people can offer you help; it’s about the quality of advice and influence they direct towards you. Your support system will be there for you no matter what and can help you through some of your toughest times, like deciding on whether or not to have sex.

You want to choose a support system that consists of open minded and understanding individuals. The ideal support system won’t judge you and will have your best intentions in mind.  You don’t want a support system that doesn’t really care about your feelings and gives you advice that only benefits themselves. You also don’t any negative influences clouding your judgement, so be careful with who you associate yourself with.

Another important thing that you should consider is that any final decisions you make, sex related or not, should ultimately come from you. Your decision may be based on advice you’re getting from family and friends, but you’re the one that is going to make the decision. Your family and friends are there to offer varying perspectives and provide unconditional love and support.

Size doesn’t matter when choosing a support system, what matters most is the help and support that they give you when you’re making tough decisions that may have to do with sex or not. Your support system doesn’t only provide you with opinions, they may also provide you with facts. They can be a close and trustworthy source to go to when wanting to educate yourself about sex.

Having a reliable support system can not only help you make smart decisions, but can help make you a better person. Choose smart, honest, and trustworthy people and make sure you stay away from the negative or selfish ones.
