"You're much too young", as a lot of people would say to a 15 year old girl having sex with her boyfriend. That was me, 5 years ago. I was with my boyfriend for a year, we slept together and we're still together now.. we've been together for 6 years and we're happily married with 2 great children! I can't say though that when the time comes for my children to enter in their adolescence, that I will be supportive of their sexual activities, no more than my parents were of mine.

I was always the type of girl who wasn't going to have sex until she was married. That changed when I met my husband (now) because I knew I would marry him. We were 14 and 16, and engaged. That is still no excuse for having sex out of wedlock. Yet, I wouldn't take it back for the world. 

I want young girls now days to know that you do not have to have sex just to fit in. When you do it, needs to be because you are in love and you know in your heart that it is right. If that means waiting until your wedding night, then so be it. When you get older you will be glad. When you are young it's not so cool to be a virgin, although now days it seems to be getting cool again because there are very little people out there that are. When you are grown and look back you will be very proud of yourself.

You're not gaining anything from having sex accept exposing yourself to the world of st-d's and pregnancy scares.

Sex when you are in love and know it is right however is a beautiful thing. You know the feeling well I'm sure if you have been there. It is something that no one can put into words. Just be sure to take the proper precautions because a baby is forever.. While it might seem cool to imagine yourself with a little baby (like a baby doll) its nothing like that. There's so much more to being a parent than a young teenage girl would want. Not to mention the baby suffers more than anyone. Also, abortion is not the way to go if it does happen. You decided to open your legs and take the chance, so you should have to pay the consequences whatever they may be.
