At some point, sex, dating, and relationships start to show up a lot in our lives, but often we’ve got no idea what to do about them.
You’ve probably heard about crossing the line, like it’s some semi-real thing you kinda understand.
We’re here to help you understand what that actually is when it comes to sex, dating and relationships.
What Topics Does The Line talk about?
Pretty much everybody at some point in their life has asked themselves, ‘What am I supposed to do now?’ as they scratch their head and wonder if that person they’ve got a crush on feels the same way, or as things heat up and kissing turns to touching.
The same question pops up when you’ve just been dumped, feel miserable about something that’s happening in your life (love or otherwise), are trying to work out who you are and what you’re about, or really anything else.
The Line is for anybody with those questions or who is looking for a bit of advice to help them get by.
What Does The Line Do?
The Line is a long-running campaign that supports you in understanding what’s okay and what’s not when it comes to sex, dating and relationships.
We’ve headed to unis and events, talked to experts, sportspeople, influencers, singers, actors, and everyday people (like you) to get the information and answers that are needed.
Our website, which you’re on now, has articles, quizzes and interviews made for and by young people.
Our social channels have all that information and more, to ensure you’re getting trustworthy and helpful advice wherever you need it.
We’re on TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram (and sometimes Reddit and Twitch).
We’re on the streets talking to everyday young people.
Whenever or wherever you need us, we try to be there.
The Line isn’t a direct help-seeking organisation, though. Head to 1800RESPECT, Lifeline, Qlife, 13YARN or any other recognised help-seeking organisation for that.
We also don’t provide legal advice, pop over to Youth Law Australia for that kind of info.
Who Runs And Funds The Line?
The Line campaignis delivered by Our Watch, which is committed to the safety of young people and children who engage with our organisation.
