i am a fourteen year old girl. i had sex with my 19 year old experienced boyfriend. during our intercourse, i didnt bleed. or even the day and night after. however i noticed my vagina starting to itch, turn red, and it has rashes. i dont want to open this up to my mom. she doesnt even approve of me having a boyfriend, and i exceeded the line by having sex with him at early age. i want to tell her that somethings wrong with my vagina, but im scared that when we go to the doctor, my infection would be something sexually transmitted or something. if that happens my mom will hate me forever. what should i do? do you think something is wrong with me? please dont convince me to tell my mommy. i dont have anyone to ask help from. do you think i have STD?

Yes, it's possible you have an STI - did you use condoms?
Try not to panic just yet, because it's unclear why you've got the itchy rash - it could be something simple like thrush which over the counter meds may work, or something which will need treatment from a doc. Heck, it may just be badly irritated and nothing to worry about.
We can't diagnose you over the internet but since you're sexually active, yes, an STI COULD be to blame.
If you don't see any improvements soon, you'll need to suck it up and tell your mum to take you to the doctor, or if you can go alone, do that.. the doctor can't tell your mum what it is if she's not in the examination room with you.. and if you do happen to have an infection, they'e not always caused through sex or passed on from someone else, so she will be none the wiser.
