then you might want to contact a treatment provider. here in the USA there are age limits on when a teen ager can legally consent to sexual activities.

you might also want to contact your church and feel them out on such activities. some churches deem having/ performing sex or touching grounds for sexual crimes against minors. i know of one situation where two teens the same age ended up being banned from their church and were very lucky not to get charged with engaging in sexual acts in a public building. but I also do know of churches that do prosecute for things like trespassing or lewd and disorderly behavior in their churches. you might want to know how your church feels on this issue .....before... you and this person put yourselves in to the situation of being in a church room alone where things can possibly get out of control for your attractions to each other. churches do understand teen age love and teen age hormones but they still have laws and rules to uphold.

my last suggestion is if this person makes you uncomfortable then just make sure you are not alone with this person. even as a teen ager its not sexual abuse if one asks the other dont you love me and the other gives in to save the relationship or not break up. but if your gut is telling you no, then its up to you to not do those things. if you give in willingly for what ever reasons and there is no real threat of harm its not called sexual abuse. there may be other laws like coercion but again theres more to that then just someone saying dont you love me and then the other giving in. in my location for this to fit a sexual abuse situation this still has to have an element of threat of harm and there has to be the age difference that constitutes statutory rape.

emotional abuse coercion in my location means a person under duress (forced ) and with the threat of harm from another, consents to illegal activities....

a general example so as not to trigger anyone... someone who is forced to sign a paper because they are told if they do not they will be harmed the abuser playing on that persons emotional fears.
