I don't know ANYBODY who would give advice like that to a SIXTEEN year old girl as you did. She's still a child, not out of high school, lives with parents and probably doesn't have a good paying job. I think more then ever do teenagers need to think with their heads and not their hearts.

If you are a tax payer, consider this. When teenage girls get pregnant and can't afford to keep the child, who do they go to? The good ol' government of course. And where do you think the government gets that money from? Your pocket and mine. Therefore I don't support teenage pregnancies. One thing is true, if you have sex, get ready to support a child emotionally and financially for 18 years.

Totally not one to give a lecture on underage debauchery, but no mother wants their child to lose their childhood... Grant your mother her wish and wait. If you and your boyfriend are as serious as you say you are, then there is PLENTY of time to have sex, but not plenty of time to spend with your mom and be honest with her.

Do what you will, but later in life, you will either be saying to yourself: "Gee, I wish I would have had sex with him before my mom died" or "Man, I wish I had listened to my mom"

You want to have sex?

Then move out of the house when you're 18, have a stable job and income, and be ready for any pregnancy consequences.

Teenage pregnancy is not something to be proud of.
