Ok, this isn't MY story but this may connect with some other teens out there. There was this guy and he was kissing my friend and telling her how he loved her and how wonderful it would be to have sex, and that nothing would really change. Well, she started to say "no" but then he started to do all the "right things", like saying sorry, waiting a while, making out, then pushing again. Well, she finally agreed to have sex and guess what? He was wrong, things did change... they both are now parents! Well, I hope this will make people think before they do the same thing as my friend.

When i went to high School i thought that i was goin to be single for the rest of my life. Than when i arrived there was this boy that i had a crush on. Comes to find out that he likes me too. So me and him decides to go out. We went out for about 17 months and we thought we were in love. So he decides that we should start having sex.To me this wasn't too good for me cause i was a virgin and he's not. So he questions me over and over until i told him I would. But when that day came i told him no and he got very upset and started calling me names and started hitting me. Then after that i knew that me and him couldn't be together and today we are no longer together.

I think everyone who shared their personal stories on this web site is so brave because it takes alot of guts to be honest and tell your business that way just to save other teens from making the same mistake so thank you because I've learned a lot.

just 2 weeks ago me and my friend were at her cousin's house. we went to this boyz house and i was supposed to have sex with this boy- the only reason why i was going to do it was because of peer preasure. but something in my mind said that i didn't have to do it because i'm my own person and i make my choices and having sex wasn't my choice. thats when i realized that the time will come when i'm ready- not when someone tells me to. you make the choice to have sex not your friends or ya man
