My really good friend finally told me that she has been going to parties since 6th grade. She said that she has already got drunk many times, smoked, and had sex. Her parents already knew that she smoked and did nothing about it. [ view ]
You don’t want to mess up now just because of a little negative peer pressure. Is their pressure or the title of being “experienced” worth you risking contracting an STD, worrying about an unplanned pregnancy or regretting the loss of a special part of you that you can never get back? If risking all of that is only going to get you a few minutes of pleasure, it’s not worth the experience. Check this out:
More and more kids are starting to get it!
In 1993, 47% of teens surveyed have not had sex
In 1995, 52% of teens have not had sex
In 2001, it was up to 54% of teens have not had sex
In a TIME/MTV survey conducted online on Sept. 10-12, 2002, 56% of teens say that they want to abstain until they are married. Of those that have had sex, 55% of teen boys and 72% of teen girls said they wish they had waited longer to have sex.
See, at the same time you’re upset because you think you’re the only virgin left on earth, 63% of teens who have had sex are wishing they still had their virginity. Keep your head up! You’re on the right track. The problem is not that you’re a virgin. The problem is all of the stress that your “friends” are giving you for doing what you know is right. If you’re going to lose anything…get rid of some of those negative influences - not your virginity.
