YES - Emma Kirkland, 18, Wolverhampton
I have been going to the YWCA young women's centre in Wolverhampton since I was 11. We have group discussions, which help young women put things into perspective and share their experiences. I sat with a group recently where a very young girl was discussing the pressure she was under to have sex with her boyfriend. The girl was able to share her feelings openly with the group and make up her own mind because there weren't boys joking around and making her feel uncomfortable.
