Dear Mrs. Figgins:

WE’ve been in love for 3 months,but havent had sex yet. My friends
tell me i must move fast,or else I’II lose him.
We have never talked about sex.
What must i do?is he going to dump me for another girl?
In love
Dear In Love:
Peer pressure is difficult to deal with, especially at your age. Respecting yourself is the first big step in avoiding peer pressure.
Having sex does not prove you like or care for someone. If anyone pressures you to have sex, it proves that person doesn’t care for you.
My best advice is that you hang out with friends who believe that it is your right to say “NO” to sex before marriage.
Pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases are life changing events, and you won’t just be able to put your life in “reverse”. You simply won’t be able to.
Talk with your boyfriend and let him know what your wishes and expectations are on abstinence. If he cares for you he will absolutely respect you for this.
Remaining sexually pure is something you will be proud for the rest of your life. It is the advice you’ll want to share with your own children someday.
The decisions you make today may affect the rest of your life.
Don’t compromise your values.
