I guess you could say I love giving advice -
I'm an older sister, a tutor and a psych freak to boot! I always try to be honest and sincere. My school motto was "do unto others as you wish them to do unto you" and I really take that to heart. Any questions I'm capable of answering (love, relationships, general problems, cultural stuff about Thailand, bicultural issues, etc.), I will answer.

I want to save myself for my wedding night. Is this generaly considered weird? At school people think its really strange and generally make fun of me for it if it comes up in conversation at all. I mean, its not something I go aorund shouting, but if someone asks what I think about sex before marriage because I'm a Christian, I will tell the truth. My friends were amazed that I went out with a guy I was completely in love with for 9 months and didnt have sex with him.
Is it that strange? And is it possible to save yourself for marriage? I've heard that it gets harder to wait as you get older, and it wasn't easy in my last relationship. (link)

There is absolutely nothing wrong with saving yourself for your wedding night - in fact, there are more pros and cons (you won't ever have to worry about getting pregnant accidentally, for instance). Whether it's weird or not, who knows what's weird anymore? Fifty years ago it was weird *not* to wait. Don't pay too much attention to people who tease you; your sexuality is your own and yours to do with as you see fit. It *is* possible to save yourself for marriage, although I will admit to you that it is not an easy thing. We're wired for sex, and it's only because we're part of a society that we don't go around doing it all the time. There will be times when you really feel like giving in, when some guy is so amazingly hot, you just want to surrender. However, having said that, we are *not* animals and therefore, we are masters of our emotions. Stay strong and stay true to your convictions and your wedding night will be a wonderful event. Good luck and take care.
