When I was in high school, I never had oral sex, sex in general, never had a boyfriend, and didn’t manage to get pregnant or do drugs and alchohol or smoke.
Why are teens more ahead of me? I am in my twenties now, and sure now I have tried or wanted to try those things but back then, I knew I wasn’t ready. I wanted to concentrate on school and college. I wanted to just be a teenager and to enjoy my youth. I didn’t want the heart aches of breaking up (like what happened to my brother). I just hung out with friends and had a nice time.
I guess I was abnormal? Since I didn’t have a boyfriend? Or was I just a loser. You guys don’t know me anyway and I won’t get hurt for what you say. Besides I liked honesty now anyways.
I dressed conservatively back then. No short skirts or tank/tube tops. No spaghetti straps. No high heels. Just wore what was comfortable and when I saw a cute guy, I didn’t really try anything but to be “friends” with him. I didn’t want to have std/sti or nothing or have a baby when I wasn’t financially ready.
…Now there’s 13 year olds to 14 year olds going at it like there’s no tomorrow.
graduated in 2003
to people who thought it was my choice to wait, it wasn’t exactly. and you’re right David I do end up regretting it but I didn’t really have a boyfriend at the time or I was very self conscious about what a guy would think of my naked body.
I also came from a religious family that didn’t believe in sex before marriage.
I was scared. I didn’t want to end up pregnant with the guy leaving me like my dad said or get an sti/std and then having to deal with that. I didn’t want to.

The world would be a better place if more teenagers thought like you do. Graduated in 1980.
No sweetie, you’re not abnormal or a loser. Its your personal choice.
There is nothing abnormal about knowing what you want from life and sticking to it and not following the rest of the sheep
Well…. as a male who graduated in 91 the same questions where being asked then as you are asking now… I mean the EXACT same questions.
And I have to tell you… my biggest regret after my first sexual experience? was that i HAD waited… Sex is fun, and it is natural, and meant to be enjoyed.
I waited until after 18 as well, didn’t lose my virginity until bootcamp, and then to a random girl on a bus who said and I quote “you’re cute can i sit on your lap?”
Kids today dont think of the consequences and do it for fun because they dont think itll have happen to them. Your not abnormal your the smarter person, you should wait til your older and ready and in a comminted relationship to do anything and want to have kids or anything.
Today theres 14yr olds walking around pregnant and have STI’s they probably wont grow up and have a nice house or job, kids today just arent smart.
your just like me! except im 18
