Hi my name is Kaitlin and I am 12 years old. I have been wanting to have sex and my boyfriend does too. I watch porn so maybe that's why I stopped for a while and I still wanted sex, and then I started again I masturbate I don't know what to do I don't want to go to my parents what should I do??

Thanks Kaitlin <3

You are 12. You are not ready. No 12 year old should be trying to have sex.

Unless you are ready for a baby financially, physically, and emotionally, you are not ready for sex.

You are WAY too young to be having sex. Your body is not ready for the changes that pregnancy brings.

Honey, you are only twelve years old. Please really think about this. You're just a child. What if you get pregnant? Then what? You won't be able to provide for the baby, and odds are, you're parents will raise it. Not to mention you will most likely not be able to finish school on time, and that's even if you go back to school. Then you will end up living with your parents for many years, while your friends go off to college and find themselves. Then after all that's done, you will end up getting a low paying job and struggle for along time.

Also, you should wait to have sex with someone who you are madly in love with. At twelve, you're not.

Please wait. Focus on school.

But I can't get pregnant I have not had my period??

Oh, you could still get pregnant, you NEVER know when that first period is going to start.

I've delivered babies to 13 year old girls who thought they never had their period, and they got pregnant when they were 12 years old!

Agree strongly with everyone - 12 is a ridiculously young age for intimacy - sweetie - you probably still have baby teeth! Also - WHY / HOW ARE YOU WATCHING PORN?!

Wow but hopw do you get prgnant without your period

I don't have baby teeth!! lol but I'm addicted to porn.

but im addicted to porn.

This may be a more serious issue. Being "addicted" to porn at 12 could lead to more serious consequences. You NEED to talk to someone about this. You can ask your parents to get you some help or talk to the school nurse.

What Could The Consequences Be For A Porn Addiction??

First ANY addiction is bad. It shows a problem with control and compulsive behavior. Porn is fantasy. Being overly wrapped up in fantasy can lead to dissociative behaviors, problems with social skills, inability to interact properly with others. With porn as the addiction, it can lead to unsafe behavior that can lead to pregnancy, STDs etc.

You are are not in a good place right now and need to seek counseling to get you back on track.
