Absolutely not. But don't stop reading!
Holy Mother Church teaches that sex before marriage is a serious sin - indeed it separates you from God to such an extent that unless you are truly sorry for it (and go to confession) you cannot attain Heaven - you risk Hell.
This isn't because Catholics are against sex - no, the church teaches that sex is awesome. It is an expression of love, in which each partner gives themselves entirely to each other. How can you give yourself to another without commitment? How much is saying yes to sex worth if you just say it to anyone? Why do you want to have sex - if its for selfish reasons then what harm might this do to you?
Another issue is that sex makes babies. Are you ready to look after a child; if not sex and marriage isn't for you yet!
Pray and trust in our Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ!

of course? is clearly says in the bible, you shall not commit adultry. it is bad before God. don't you know that your body is the temple of God. you should keep it holy and clean. God doesn't like people who sin. if u know what you want to do is wrong. is better not to do it at all. you don't want to risk your life on useless things.

If your religion says that pre-marital sex is right, you should follow your religion.
Although, No, you will not go to hell if you have pre-marital sex, just make sure your careful.

i wouldn't recommend you doing that..not only for spiritual reasons, but for physical reasons as well. you are young and you really should not have sex until marriage

No, it's not true. You won't go to hell if you have pre-marital sex.

If that were so nearly everyone would be going there in a flash. I value religious and cultural views but this whole going to hell thing is a scare tactic or twisting of scriptures.
I'm reasonably sure that GOD is a loving GOD that doesn't turn his back on people or condemn them for mistakes or choices. You connection with him won't be severed or weakened if you have sex now or later. There's no connection. Your religious beliefs won't be altered either.
Ultimately, the decision lies with you and what you feel ready for and your personal comfort. You may want to investigate other religions or Christian sects if this is what is being taught to you in church.
I may stir up controversy with this but the going to hell thing is an opinion and not really factual.
There's a lot of superstition and odd views in most organized religions that gets passed down to people.

From a non-religious stand-point: whether or not you have sex is entirely up to you. But don't just do it just because you want to. You will regret it then. You'll know when the right time is when it begins to happen, and you have utterly no hesitations whatsoever with who you're with. No, you will not go to hell. Otherwise, there would be a LOT of people going. If you believe that it's the right time, then it is the right time.
Going religious here: God watches over each person, correct? So if he allows you to have sex and you had no hesitations and you felt really good about having it WITH THE RIGHT PERSON, then there would be no reason for him to fault you.

Sex can be very confusing when your always taught to stay pure till marriage and when you do believe in god. Everyone will have sex at one point in their life and your not going to go to hell for doing it. Personally i can't say it's a mistake to have sex before your married, because everyone's different. my OPINION i think everyone should wait for the right guy/girl and get married and then have sex. However this is something you should talk to god about, read the bible get to know him better, understand why he believes to stay pure till marriage. before you do something that you could regret forever.
