im in 8th grade right now, but next year ill be in highschool, and i was just wondering how big of a deal is it, to have sex? like its already starting to happen this year. and i keep getting offers, but im kinda like against it. would i be made fun of if i dont?
solidadvice4teens answered Thursday May 17 2007, 9:39 pm: If you are against having sex right now then don't let anything change that. These guys who are making offers are pretty immature. They don't care about you and are only after sex. They're likely to spread rumors about it etc. etc.
By waiting for the right time, person, place you are being mature and intelligent. You don't want to wind up pregnant. Nobody else can make the decision for you of when you have sex.
Being made fun of for being a virgin is not such a bad thing. You're waiting for the right person, don't want to become pregnant, don't want it to be with some random person you have no attachment to etc. etc.
Also, whether or not you are a virgin is nobody else's business but your own. They don't need to know either way. If anyone asks you tell them "My personal life is not your business."
Just think, the people who may make fun of you are the same ones who may get pregnant or an STD or infection and bad reputation and all kind of things they never anticipated because of their choices to be with random people or accept the same kind of"offers" as made to you.
Also, these people don't matter in the grand scheme of things nor do their opinion of you or of you being a virgin. In less than 5 years you won't know half of them or remember half. Why let them try to dictate such a huge life decision for you?
If you are against having sex right now you must have some pretty darn good reasons. Stick to your guns, your guts and your beliefs and don't let what everyone else seems to be doing weigh in as a factor. Sometimes what everyone else is doing is wrong and they learn that the hard way. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

If people do make fun of you, the most they can say is that you're prude or scared of doing things like that. Prude is when you're not willing to do things like that with someone. [Just in case you didn't know what it was]. If they do make fun of you though, just tell them to fuck themselves. Honestly, you're a good kid by telling people NO and that you're not ready. Don't do anything you don't wanna do, okay? The only thing you need to do is just tell people no, don't do things you don't want to, and stick to what you believe in.

bluebabe48 answered Wednesday May 16 2007, 6:05 pm: This is a good question! Girls are extremely pressured to have sex and most lose their virginity by their sophomore year. I lost mine my freshmen year and I regret it more than anything! People lost their respect for me, guys weren't as interested because the chase was over. I believe the longer you keep it the better! When you keep it until you find someone you love it makes it amazing because you have nothing to compare it to and if you end up with the greatest guy and you've lost yours to someone else you will think about the other guy. Be proud you are a virgin it is better than being a slut! PLUS sex is better for a guy than a girl usually it is so overrated!!! Well I hope this helps. Good Luck!

lbwhite89 answered Wednesday May 16 2007, 6:03 pm: If you're not ready to have sex, DON'T DO IT! Never do something you don't want to do. And if you ask me, you're too young to be having sex.
I'm 17, a junior in high school, and still a virgin. I've never been made fun of because of it...ever. If guys know you've had sex, they could think you're easy. And that's not good.
blackluna7111 answered Wednesday May 16 2007, 6:02 pm: no its not a big deal. im in high school and yes you will see girls who are not virgins anymore but trust me you wont be made fun of. just say that your virginity is very precious to you and you want to have sex when you are ready and in love
