Does having sexual experiences as a teenager make you a bad person?

Hi,

I have been experimenting with my sexuality recently, and I'm worried that by doing these things it makes me a bad person/is inappropriate for a teenager to do. The stigma surrounding sex and girls really bothers me, guys can go around hooking up with girls and they're considered normal, if girls do anything with guys they're sluts. Everything I've done has been with a guy I truly care about (and he me) and we have NOT had sex. I also at one point thought I was interested in girls and tried out a bit of stuff with a friend of mine (although nothing below the belt). But for some reason even though I wouldn't take back these actions I feel guilty, like I should be ashamed of myself but I'm not. How do I get over this?? Does having sexual experiences as a teenager make you a bad person?

So_Very_Confused agony auntI agree with Aunt Honesty.. your perfectly normal and experimenting with sex as a teen is natural. You should not have guilt.

Just be wise and safe about your choices... and if you progress further please practice safe sex and be on birth control.

aunt honesty agony auntYour mother is saying that to you, because she probably worries about you and doesn't want you to grow up to fast, you are still her little girl, she wants you to be safe and not end up doing something silly and ending up a pregnant teenager. She is just worried.

aunt honesty agony auntNo it does not make you a bad person, and you should not be ashamed off yourself what so ever. As long as you are comfortable with what you are doing well then it is your choice, but am glad you haven't had sex yet, not that it would make you a bad person, it is just many young girls rush in to it and then regret it afterwards, so as long as you are being mature about it well then don't let it get to you. You have feelings for this guy so you are doing nothing wrong, and as for experimenting with your female friend, its all part of growing up, your hormones are all over the place and it can confuse you as to your sexuality. You are only exploring and finding yourself just like any other teenage girl so don't let it get you down.
