Second, expand your vocabulary. Instead of writing, "he said", try "he sighed" or "he murmured" or "he chuckled". All of those show more personality, more reaction, than just speaking.
I'd like to point out that the 'he said/she said' rule varies from person to person, and if used properly, you can go throughout an entire piece with mostly 'he said/she said', with the 'he sighed' or 'he muttered' added in only as an emphasizing point where you want the reader to pause. Used in conjunction with other techniques, it can emphasize a character's blandness, or the monotony of the mood or setting, even if the piece is engaging. This is best done with a Beta, though, as you might end up really just writing boring things if you don't get it looked over. I know I prefer to use one.
Also, I personally prefer not to get involved in graphic RP situations with minors.
