I was referring to myself, I’m sorry if you thought I was talking about other people. I probably should have clarified that in the message. I was in one of my “moods” that day…
I’ve never been weird about girl stuff…
Found myself the other half of a couple before I was even in high school…tampons or pads are no biggy…purchasing a pregnancy test together at the age of 14 from an old grandmotherly woman was a bit awkward (for both of us) though…

Ah ok 
so many of us get so much peer pressure either one way or the other. Some parents try to pressure their children into waiting for marriage (50% of marriages fail. I’m not advocating anything but if I was inclined to experiment like that and repressed it till marriage and it failed, especially if it was infidelity, I would be pretty miffed.)
But lots of girls start having sex in high school and if those people don’t pressure you I have heard a lot about girls who have done it bullying girls who haven’t to even have one night stands just to lose it.
Those girls who pressure others into going to a party with a particular boy … are part of the reason rape happens.

I know sex was very relevant in my high school, when I went to college where I had to go into class every day it was relevant then to because I remember one conversation with a group of class mates and one of the guys mentioned how it hurt more the longer you waited when you were older. I don’t know I’ve read also that the pain isn’t as bad if you wait because you’re body is more prepared for what you’re doing than if you rush into it.
I was almost in a relationship with a guy who just wanted “friends with benefits,” I was going to attempt that with him, but he didn’t want the friends part, just benefits. While I was willing to let the idea of an open relationship work (puts the pressure of me actually, at least back then I was younger and thought that was a little better) I have to be friends with you before hand. I barely met the guy when he offered that solution. I didn’t even know his last name. I didn’t give it up to him in the end and broke it off before it got that far. If you’re going to label it like “friends-with” I expect friends. We don’t have be romantic going on dates and wooing each other, but we have to get to know each other right?

Yeah because they (from what my younger sister has talked about and from what I have heard, I have only been to one college party and I didn’t drink anything) will leave their drunk friend there or let some guy drive her home alone. I think that is the exact opposite of the definition of how to be a friend.
