Dear Katrina,
I Was in the Same Situation
I can understand exactly where you are coming from, its scary!
I'm seventeen, and I lost my virginity when I was sixteen. I was
in the same situation, I was so worried about everything and anything.
You're right, losing your virginity is a very major thing in your
life, and its your decision and only yours.
Before you go through with it you need to be able to say, "I
really want to do this." And if you decide to have sex with
your boyfriend, you need to be able to not have regrets afterwards.
BOTH Should Play It Safe
Don't listen to anyone who calls you names or thinks differently
about you. If you were ready and you're happy with the decision,
then whatever they say doesn't matter!
Just be safe, in this day and age, there are lots of things to
worry about like pregnancy and STD's, which I know is probably on
your mind, but trust is important, ask him to get tested, for both
of your guy's safety.
Age Doesn't Matter
About your age, if you feel like you're ready and are mature and
responsible enough to be smart and cautious, then your age doesn't
really matter.
It's your decision, and yours only, not your boyfriend's or anyone
else's, so make it on your own.
It Will Make the Relationship Stronger
If your boyfriend loves you tons, and tells you it's OK if you
don't, then this decision won't break your relationship. And if
you decide to make the big step and have sex with him, this could
only make your relationship stronger.
If you think enough about this you will be able to make the right
choice, and be happy after you make it. Be responsible and safe,
and make this decision for you and your happiness, nobody else.
Give yourself time to think and I'm sure you'll be happy in whatever
you decide.
Good Luck,
– Hillary
