Question

Hi im I'm a young teen myself and I'm going through peer presure and I want to have sex ,but I don't know if it's the right thing to do!!! HELP!!!

Answer 1

I'm 16 and I have never had sex, just try control your hormones.Honestly,I think you should wait until you are ready and you have found a guy that you are deeply in love with,or you might and probably will regret it and wish that you would have waited.It sounds like you might be between 13 or 14 years old,hormones are crazy at that age(I know mine were,but I controlled them),you will calm down around 15 or 16,so just try to wait and you'll find out that you made a great decision.Never give into peer pressure,it will get you nowhere.

Answer 2

It's interesting to read through the replies here and see how many are from Americans!

In America it seems like keeping your virginity until your married is a very big deal, whereas here in Europe it's seen as just something to get out of the way and no big deal by many girls!

I'm not going to say which view is right or wrong, but what I would say is that you should wait until you feel it is the right time for you, and you alone, and not to give in to peer pressure or boyfriend pressure - especially the line.. "well everyone else is doing it"!

As a young teen you're almost certainly physically able to have sex, but the reality is that emotionally you're not ready, which is one of the reasons for the legal age limit, so I would say wait for a few years yet and when you're really sure you've found that special person, then consider going further.

First off, I don't like to say "most" anything. All teens are different and all have sex (some not until their 20's) at different times. Personally I feel 13,14, 15, and some 16 year olds are too young. 16 (legal age of consent in most states) and up is generally "okay". I think when ever you feel you are really ready for all the responsibilities that come with it (Condoms, Birth Control, Heartache, Pregnancy) you can have sex. Alot of teens whether 13 or 19 are still not ready for all this. So think long and hard about this. Make sure the person you are wanting to have sex with feels the same about you, make sure you are practicing safe sex, and be sure to see your doctor for yearly PAP exams. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Wait. You should never be pressured into having sex. Once you loose your virginity you can't get it back. It's gone. That is a moment to share with someone you truly LOVE - a person you want to spend the rest of your life with.

Your hormones are dictating your feelings now - listen to your heart. Most young teens are not ready for sex - and a lot of teens are lying when say they've already had sex. Would you be able to take care of a baby if you got pregnant? What if you contracted a sexually transmitted disease? Some, like AIDS can kill you.

There are many more reasons to wait until marriage than there are to have sex in your teens. Most teenagers are not mature enough to handle everything (emotionally and physically) that goes with sex. On the other hand, when you have met that one person that is truly special to you and that you want to marry and spend the rest of your life with, sex is a very special bond that you share.

Answer 5

It's all up to personal choice. Don't be in a hurry to give up your innocence. personally, I think 16 is too young, but these days everyone is losing it younger and younger. It's kinda sad. If you wait until you are absolutely certain that you are ready to have sex, then all the best to you. Never feel obligated to go ahead with it because of peer pressure. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Just remember, there are a lot of guys out there that will tell you just about anything to get into your pants, so have your wits about you. All the best.

Answer 6

Please don't have sex simply because of peer pressure!! It is something you will regret for the rest of your life. Put a lot of thought into it before you do. I lost my virginity at a young age, at the time, it was someone that I thought I really loved and all that good stuff. But now at 25 years old, I regret it. It could have been so much more than it was. If you do decide to go through with it, use protection!

Answer 7

If your asking people if you should have sex then maybe your not ready because you should be able to do something with out other people telling what you should do. Also you should wait for that specail someone cause if you just pick anyone the can treat you really bad afterward like start rumors, etc, so if you are be safe for sure you don't want to rise a child along and try to be a normal teen.

Answer 8

Listen. I was 17 when I had sex for the first time. It was the worst mistake of my life. Not only do I regret not saving all of my firsts for the one man that I would spend the rest of my life with but I learned to enjoy sex for the wrong reasons. I am married now and it still effects my sex life now, that must seem crazy. Not only that but I know that having premarital sex is wrong and its very abominable in the sight of my god. I'm still going through repentance and its been all most three years. Still yet, the worst part is the not knowing of what it would be like to give it all on my wedding night. I so wish I would have waited

Answer 9

First off, they don't usually have sex. Don't give in to peer pressure because it's not something you can just throw away. Wait until marriage. It's not right to give in to peer pressure and have sex at your age. A lot of teens lie about having sex being normal at that age anyways. It's better to wait until your wedding night.

I'm going to wait until I get married. You should wait too.

Answer 10

Lily dear, dont let others tell you their out having sex. You dont want to hear hurtful things about yourself from other people talking. Keep and SAVE yourself for that special someone. Dont do it cause you think people will like you more.
Your already special since you haven't done anything yet. And besides, condoms dont ALWAYS work. I dont think your parents, are wanting to be grandparents quiet yet. Wait until your body matures more, and when your finished growing. Find that certain person, that just takes your breath away.When you get a certain age, alot of guys would prefer a woman WHO has not been around the block too many times.
