That is why we keep having them, even though we know it will hurt like hell and we may not always be ready for them. So, it is not unreasonable to feel that way. What you do about it is the important thing.
You already understand that you are not ready for a kid, you know you are still too young, and that is a start.
Having sex unprotected is a bad idea at your age. I did it, got lucky in not getting pregnant. I think back and realize how much I would have missed out on had I gotten pregnant as a teen. My life would have been drastically changed, and my kid would have suffered because I was not ready to be a parent. I'm 31 now, and have a 10 year old son, and I still wonder if I'm ready to be a parent.
Think about it this way: you want to do the best you can for a kid when you do have one. When you get your period, it means you have more time to learn to be a good mom and to be ready. You will have a kid eventually, so you don't need to be disappointed.
In the meantime, consider birth control pills, or something else that is reliable, and back them up with condoms. Enjoy all that you want to do before you become a parent and know that you are ultimately doing the best for yourself, your partner, and your future children.
