A Reader Responds:
She's Only 15
I disagree because she is only 15 and that's what teenage
girls do, they go with the flow.
She may have considered herself and her sexuality very
important, she may also be very insecure. As a virgin, she
may not have known or felt secure enough to set the pace
of a relationship. At that age girls brag and exaggerate
as much as boys do.
It also seemed that she really did have feelings for him.
At 15, one does not know and is not mature enough to understand
that this boy was only sticking around because she was being
physical.
She Is NOT "Easy"
We have no idea if he pressured her or told her they should
hang out less if she doesn't want sex. She is not "easy".
I cannot understand how any woman could tell a 15-year-old
that she was being "easy". She has obviously learned
an important lesson here.
This young woman made some bad choices. She was not mature
enough to understand the difference between a physical relationship
and an emotional relationship.
Not all men will think you are cheap or easy because you
make out with them on the first date. Understand that you
create your own boundaries and definitions of who you are
and how fast you want to go.
Don't let anyone call you easy or cheap or fast or slow,
it's all relative.
