My older sister is 17 (Im about to turn 14 in a few days) and today I was hanging out with her in her room while she was looking through her drawers for a pair of shorts. I saw something that looked like a condom wrapper but she covered it up so quickly, i thought i must have seen it wrong because my sister told me shes a virgin. Well, when she left the house, I snooped & turns out .. it was condoms, a few of them. And about 3 were un opened. Im MAD. She lied to me. And shes told me repeatedly how she wants to save herself until marriage. I dont know what to do, do i tell anyone? Im afraid she'll get an STD, or pregnant. But I cant talk to HER. Or she'll freak out at me and deny it - i know. (link)
First off - you probably shouldn't have snooped. But heck, we're all human and we've all done it from time to time because our natural curiosity gets the better of us.

So the situation is this:

* Your sister has told you that she's a virgin
* You've found some condoms in her drawer (I don't know why you say that three were unopened - do you mean three boxes? Three condoms? Were there open ones in there - why would anyone keep an open condom in their draw?)

But anyway - you've made the leap that the condoms mean she's definitely having sex. That might not be true - she might just be being sensible and keeping prepared for any eventuality. Sometimes people say one thing and do another. Why do you think she's saying that she will stay a virgin till she's married? Perhaps there's peer pressure in your family or her friend group to do so. Are you mad at her for lying (if she is having sex) or because you personally think it's wrong of her to be having sex before marriage?

Even if she is having sex, so long as she's using those condoms (and preferably another method of birth control too) the likelihood of her getting pregnant is practically zero and she's really unlikely to get an STD too.

I don't think you should tell anyone - just accept that your sister may well have a life that you don't know anything about and there's probably a good reason she wants to keep it that way.
