I'm 11 and i can already see all my friends making future mistakes when they're 13-14 years old and already lost there virginity! To many people have been in this situation before and I've seen to many people make the wrong choice. alot of 'em happen to be on site! I'm only in sixth grade and I've seen five people IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL make the wrong choice, and they all had to move. I don't have a boyfriend who wants to have sex all the time. I don't have a boyfriend at all. Not that I don't want one but my parents are.... well you know.But anyway, You're not ready, even when you think you are. You've got to tell him no! No pressure, though. No pressure.

i am 12 almost 13...and i really dont see whats wrong with it????its not like im going to do it with out protection...but also how come it seems like girls have all the problems and boys dont???girls go through the pain the first time girls are in danger of becoming pregnant if the condom breaks and boys dont really have any thing to worry about.my boy friend has no worries about it and he keeps telling me that he wants 2 feel him self inside me?!?!idk because one of my friends already did it and they tell me how much fun it is and how good it feels.she also tells me that they started off by moaning with each other over the phone- or her fingering her self and him jacking off and both of them moaning while doing it at the same time.but the rest of my friends tell me not 2 do it cuz im 2 young and i could catch a STD or get pregnant.of course i dont want that but i did go from knowing im ready 2 really not being sure.and thank you all 4 those answers!!!

babewithbrains agony auntYou are ready for sex when you dont feel anxiuos or ask this question. If you love him enough and you are prepared to either live with abortion or having a kid then you are ready. A stable income tends to help aswell ;)

Uncle Sneaker agony auntTo answer the question, you know you are ready for sex when you find someone you genuinely love enough to want to share the most intimate parts of your body and to share theirs.

The problem is, of course, that your feelings, your emotions, your hormones and your body are changing throughout your teens, and what you think is "genuine love" of that intensity and depth may not be the "real thing" at all - and it takes a good few years for it all to settle down properly so that you really know and understand what you are feeling and can tell the difference between what is genuine and what is not. That's why there are laws about the minimum age for having sex.

However, there's no reason why you shouldn't be thinking about it and letting your imagination go through it. The more you consider the possibilities, the more you'll get to know your feelings as they grow and develop. Don't be scared of that. When you are ready, there won't be a shred of doubt in your mind that you really ARE ready - and when that should be, within the legal limitations, is entirely a decision for you. Some wait for many years after it would be legal, and some don't. Personally, I think it's worth waiting for quite a while and being very sure about your partner before you jump into bed with them. You certainly don't need to make that sort of decision yet. Take it all slowly. There's plenty of time.

shandygirl agony auntYou are about 12 yrs old and you are thinking about sex??? Honey, what is the rush?

I notice that you live in the USA. Well in this country, anyone who would have sex with you would get into BIG trouble. They could get arrested and go to jail for a looong time. You are not of legal age until you are 18. Wait... find someone that you love after you get older... You will be happy that you did.

Don't let anyone pressure you into sex. Giving your body should not be treated as sharing a sandwich. It is something precious. And, you could get pregnant, ( are you ready to have a baby?) or catch a disease.

Focus on your education and establishing a career. Then when you turn 18, rethink whether or not you are ready for sex.
