11 is definitely too young to have to be thinking about the
consequences and responsibilities that come with having sex.
It is OK to say no...and we support you fully in this
decision. If he really cares about you, then he will
respect your decision and not pressure you. You should
never have sex just to make someone else happy or to not
hurt their feelings.
