all right guys this is a weird story but hey some females may feel like how i do. all right i met this guy back in march- my girls introduced me to him and his friends. we all spent time together having fun and staying up late. He was trying to flirt with me and i knew what he wanted. two of my girls began dating two of his friends and one day we all were in his car so my two friends were kissing their boyfriends and me and him were just sitting there and then he began touching me and kissing on my neck. i told him "i'm not like that, i'd rather go out with you than have you act like i'm like other girls." so he realized what he did wrong and said we should get to know each other.

Three years ago when I was 14, I was going out with this guy for 6 months and I thought (knew!) that I was so in love with him, but I wasn't sure if he loved me. He wanted to have sex and I agreed that I would do it. When the time came for us to do it, something held me back and I couldn't go through with it. I'm glad that happened, because two weeks later we broke up and he started going out with this other girl who had sex with him right away. They were together for two years before she dumped him for another guy and now he's all alone. Right now I'm with this guy that I've been with for 13 months and we both love each other very much. We are both virgins, and are waiting to have sex.

This on time I went out with this boy, and he always wanted me to have sex with him but I wasn't ready for that, so I told him that I wasn't ready to go to that level. He ended up breaking up with me over a stupid reason just because I wouldn't have sex with him- I was so happy and relieved that we broke up.

I was in love with a guy who was just unexplainable. That's how great it was. He really didn't pressure me 2 have sex, but when he did I didn't said "no" and just did it without second thoughts because I knew he wouldn't hurt me. But now it was a lie and he treats me different. Now I don't see him no more. I regret it and I wished I waited.

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 am 14 years old and I go out with this boy who's name is R. He told me that I should have sex with him and I told him that he was not worth my virginity. He said everyone else is doing it. I told him that he would not have any problems finding another person to 'do it' then. He said that he was sorry and he will respect my feelings.

Hey...I want to thank you for comin to the school and openin up my eyes...and showin me how to say no and to set limits...I was goin with a guy for about 5 months when I just had enough with the touchy feely moments....I told him that we were through and he still thinks that "sorry" will cut it but when you say "no" and say "no"...and "leave me alone"...you get mad and aggravated and have to leave. it is irratating...but I have recently found a new guy that I like. He is a gentleman and opens the door which I'm not usta.... thanks for opening up my eyes that were in denial.

i went to my boyfriends house. he said he had friends over and he wanted me to come over. i went over there no one was there. we started kissing. he then got a little touchy and he started to take my clothes off. i really liked him and i thought he felt the same way. but after we had sex he broke up with me. he moved on to another girl and never spoke to me agian. it really hurts me to see him walking down the street and acting like it neva happen. i regret everything.

NW (Age 13),

At first he was so wonderful, he acted just the way he knew I would like him to. But we weren't going out yet, then a month later, I heard that he had a girlfriend. And he didn't even bother telling me. So guys imagine if I had been foolish enough to go out with him and made him be my first. So don't be stupid enough to let something so precious as your virginity be taken away by somebody that isn't really worth it. Be wise, and wait.

I've definitely fallen in love before, about two years ago. Sadly, that didn't last too long, only long enough for me to have my heart broken. Since then, its been a string of one-night stands and in general a lot of stupid craziness. But now I've met someone nice, and fallen in love. It started off really slow and I wanted to end up being her friend at first. Well, at first, I wanted to have sex with her, but then I realized I couldn't, that I would just be hurting her and myself in the process when what I really wanted was her honesty and affection... and her honest affection. Just as a friend, even, if it came to that. I've been falling in love with her. Just kissing her makes me happy. I want to treat her right, like the woman she is and the woman she will become, and I think that may be good enough to be forever.

THIS IS FOR ALLLLL THE LADIES. If you meet the "right" guy, and he asks to have sex which u... say "no" because he's prolly being nice to you to use your body..you know? have sex with a guy that u had a longggggggg relationship with or after you get married.

MR (Age 12), Lowell

I went to my uncle's party with my family in the summer. I met my mom's friend's son who I knew when we were little. Then later on he came up to me and said he wanted to make out, but I decided to say no. So ever since then I heard he has forgotten about me from my cousin. I was glad I made the right decision that day and I made a promise to myself that I won't let any guy take advantage of me. 8]

MKH (Age 13), lowell,MA

I liked my guy a lot up until one day when things went wrong. It all started when we started dating- it was great and everything. I thought that we were going to be together for awhile, but i thought wrong. One day when i was at his house after school, we were making out and things went too far. He [initiated non-intercourse sexual activity]. After that happened, I thought that our relationship would be closer, but yet again, i thought wrong. Instead of us getting closer, our realtionship got worse. He started to get farther and farther apart. He started to verbally abuse me and threaten me. I started to get tired of it and eventually broke up with him. I really regret doing that [sexual activity] with him because when i look back at our relationship, it wasn't a really healthy relationship. To this day I don't talk to him now.

A.G. (Age 14), Chelsea, MASS

I have never had sex or done anything sexual before. One day a girl asked me [to have sex with her] and I told her "no" because I am still a teenager. She said that she would give me a cell phone [if I had sex with her]. But I told her if was the way to get a phone I don't think I will get one.

abstain (Age 13), Lowell MA

Heres my story....I met my boyfriend three years ago through my bestfriend and we've had our ups and downs while being together on and off, but it's been worth it. My boyfriend's been there for me during times when my best friend wasn't and I love him sooooo much. We're still going strong, although sometimes more than others, but we still make each other happy (without having sex). I Love My BabyBoo!!! & Always Will.

tok (Age 17), Dorchester, Ma

I REMEBER ONCE WHEN I WAS AT A PARTY, MY FRIENDS WERE TRYING TO GET ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE TO HAVE SEX WITH A BOY SHE JUST MET. AT THE TIME I COULD TELL SHE WAS NERVOUS...SHE KEPT LOOKING TOWARDS US FOR A DECISION. BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, IT'S NOT YOUR FRIENDS THAT YOU NEED TO TURN TO WHEN IT COMES TO SEX. SHE DID THE RIGHT THING BY CHOOSING NOT TO HAVE SEX WITH THAT BOY. I WAS PROUD OF HER. DON'T BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE, STAY ABOVE IT.

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.

RP (Age 16), Boston, MA

Hey, I would like to tell you all something, I'm 13 and i'm still a virgin and i'm waiting till i'm married because it's the best thing you can give to your husband on your wedding night. And it's a lot better to wait to have sex with the person you wanna be with the rest of your life. I hope this helps some teens out there!

SK (Age 13),

Hey!!!!!!!!!! this is to all the teenagers outside especially tha girls!!!! im 14 dont give your body to no boy thats just going 2 use u!! wait till your married so u can give it to your husband.

J.G (Age 14), Dorchester

i once went out with this cute boy. he was 17. he said he loved me. we would talk on the phone every day. i loved him so much and i felt bad when he broke up with me. i know we didn't spend a lot of time together, but he would always ask me when were going 2 have sex. thank god i didn't have sex with him! i feel great that i didn't have sex.

J.G (Age 14), dorchester,MA

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

wrc (Age 15), boston massachuestts

I knew this girl for 2 years. She had already had sex before. Well we decided to have sex one night and she hasn't talked to me since. She asked me [to have sex with her] and I had no idea she wanted to prior to that. It was very spur the moment. Makes me wish I had waited. I was only 17. Spur of the moment is not the way you want to remember having sex the first time.

i am 19 years old, i lost my virginity about two months ago, the guy was great, he promised he wasn't going to leave me after we had sex, he acted like he loved me. All of a sudden he changed, now he dosen't call me as often, and he is not as sweet as he was before. In the time i got to know him i fell madly in love with him. Now i still talk to him, but i don't know if he loves me or not. i wish i had waited a little more, at least until i was sure he really loves me. My plans were to wait until marriage. i was really close, but things can change in a minute, so you really have to be strong, because it's NOT easy to wait.

A M (Age 19), boston Ma

i had a boyfriend that was a couple years older than me. He was pushing me to do something i didnt want to do and i got tired of him asking me. So i told him "ok, i will do it", so we had sex. I wish i never did it cause now i got a kid. my mom is taking care of it for me. Now i have to take care of a baby and still go to school. Now i know to say no.

(Age 13), boston, ma

When I was 15, I was in a long relationship with a guy who was a year older. One day he met me at his locker and said that since we have been going out for awhile, he thinks we should go all the way. So we did. I never heard from him again.
