Question Posted Saturday December 18 2004, 7:33 pm
my family is very religious. so when they found out that i had sex with my ex boyfriend a while back they went crazy. i promised that i wouldnt do it again, but now that i am seeing someone else it's getting harder and harder to say no. i'm only 17, i know thats young, but should i wait until i am married for my family? or should i just give in for myself?

hope it helps stay safe!!!!
dancindanger answered Sunday December 19 2004, 1:49 am: I would say that you should wait until your married. If you didn't get pregnant last time, you were lucky. Are you ready to be a mom at age 17? Or would you rather be a mom when you have a supportive husband there too? If all the new guy wants is sex, maybe you shouldn't see him anymore, because sex can be really hurtful to your life. In this video I saw that asked young mothers what they would do if the could go back in time, they all said they would not have sex because they had no idea what they were doing to themselves. If you are involved in any sports or active things, you wouldn't be able to do those things anymore. Think about the consequences before you go and have fun for one night. Hope I helped.

Dont wait just for your family...your your own person and your free to do what you want! I understand that your family is religious..so next time just dont say anything to them. That will prevent them from going crazy etc. Hope helped...remember to folllow your heart

lalathepinkbunny answered Saturday December 18 2004, 10:48 pm: Hun, if you would be waiting for just your family, then your morales/values are a little out of whack! I'm sorry if you think I'm being mean, beut its true. Sex is supposed to be something saved for marriage, its supposed to be between a husband and wife. It's very wrong to do it beforehand, ezpecially with all the risks. You could get an STD, or get pregnant. You may be thinking you can just use protection or take the pills, but there is no such thing as safe sex. Well, its really up to you. The right thing to do would be to wait, but it all comes down to what you think and want in the end. [ lalathepinkbunny's advice column | Ask lalathepinkbunny A Question ]
lildesidevil143 answered Saturday December 18 2004, 9:18 pm: i think that you shouldn't have sex with him because you never know what can happen. I think that you should wait until you are older. But that's my opinion. I think that you should do whatever makes you happy, but think about your parents and if you get caught then you'll probably get into more trouble since you said that you wouldn't.

frenchfries21 answered Saturday December 18 2004, 7:51 pm: you should do what you want if you ask me i think its your choice. they dont have to find out, the only people who have to know about it is your boyfriend and you. if you want to wait till marriage then you do that. its your choice. not theirs.

kemikal answered Saturday December 18 2004, 7:44 pm: Even though you're family is very religious, they should know that you're of the age where you know what choices are good and bad. If what you want to do is be with this guy for the rest of your life, then go for it! Be careful, though, since some guys sometimes just get in relationships just to "get some." If you know that your decision is the right way to go, then it really is your choice, not your parents, to decide. And remember, use protection... I'm sure your parents would get pretty mad if you did anything with them behind their backs and you got pregnant from it.
Good luck with your situation! [ kemikal's advice column | Ask kemikal A Question ]
