Hi. I'm 15 years old. I've been thinking about this for a while, but I've only gone as far as making out with a guy. I really want to go farthur, but I am also nervous to. I don't know if I should or shouldn't...

You shouldn't. If there's event he slightest bit of doubt in your mind, you should wait. And when you do make the choice to go further, hopefully years from now, be smart about it. Think it through. Protect yourself from stds and unplanned pregnancies. There's no rush for all of the responsibilities that come with sex.

If you are already making out with a guy, and thinking about going further because you really want to, then you should get yourself on birth control, and be prepared.

While you may want to think you will wait until you are older, or married or whatever, things happen, and you may find yourself in a situation you will regret, and that could mean an unwanted pregnancy.

Don't kid yourself into thinking that you can hope for the best by going further than you already have, and you will be immune to any problems, including STD's.

It's not my place to say you shouldn't be sexually active, but, I can advise you that you need to seriously think about a visit to your Doctor to get on the pill, just in case.

An ounce of prevention as they say.

No one should engage in sexual intercourse until they are emotionally, physically and financially prepared to have a child.

You fail on all three.

End of story!

How much further are we talking? Should you have sex. NO. Mess around a little more, I wouldn't advise it, but you'll do what you'll do. Just make sure YOU really want it. And you're not just doing it to satisfy your boyfriend. Being a bit nervous is perfectly normal. You don't want to mess up and you get kind of self conscious at first.. but nervousness and having doubts are two different things. If you're having doubts, don't do it. You will regret it eventually.

Whatever you do, be smart, don't have sex, and if you do, be sure to use as many forms of protection as possible.

Enjoy being young. You're way to young to be considering having sex. Have fun being a teen...

Hello,

Are you prepared to have a baby at 15? I think not!

I understand where you are coming from... You hormones are raging. Mine along with everyone's was too at that age.

However, with all of that,I still waited until 25 and it was well worth it! Wait until you are older and understand making love for making love and not sex for the sake of sex.

You are young and are not ready to endure such responsibilities!


Good luck!
