is it a shame ?

You should do anything and everything that your friends are doing because it is more important to be "in" and "cool" and to keep up than it is to have any self respect or individuality. And don't worry that you might be labeled a slut, that will only last for 30 or 40 years. Now go find some sleazy guy and get this done. VOE

I'm a 17 year old virgin and never had a boyfriend. I've just never found the guy I wanna be with and share sex with. Right now, i feel like there are no good looking, nice guys out there.

DEFINITELY NOT!! If you don't want to have sex, or haven't found the right person to do it with, there is no reason you should feel you have to just because your other friends have. Just wanting to be included in the conversation is not a reason to have sex with some random person that you might not have feelings for. I know one of my friends hasn't experienced as much as all of the rest of her friend group has, and she had the same feelings, but I told her the same thing. She realized that I was right. You wouldn't want to throw away something that could be amazing with someone you really like/love just to be in the in crowd. And 17 is not too old! I know plenty of people older than that, that have not had sex, just be confident in what you believe and what you want to do! --El

Be proud of the fact that you don't give it up easy. Tell people that you aren't waiting until you're married but you ARE waiting for that special person. It will be fun for your friends to see who you give it to and special for the person you do give it to. The more proud and confident you are the less they have to reject you for.

Thank you guys, & i'm totally agree with you, but sometimes it's just no easy

Dnt waste it. In high school I was a virign all my friends started having sex in middle school and I lied and said I had sex jut to fit in. My lie escaladed and snow balled into a large lie I do regret. Becaus it is a specia thing to cherish guys don't want sluts and chicks who have skeletons. Now I'm with the love of my life and he never heard my lie from high school and I was proud he was my first. I plan to marry him. ROGUE

im 17 and im still a virgin, it will happen when it happens, you just need to be ready and make sure its with the right person, you dont want to regret it.

Go on be a slut, it's all good. Guys like hoes that fuck in their teens. And I'm a guy! I'm being honest. Actually imbeing sarcastic, we value girls that lose it when their much older and ready, after 20 at least.

sometimes people have sex when they are not mature enough. If you don't think your ready, then you shouldn't force the issue

It doesnt matter what age you are! YOU have to do it when you feel right about it! Dont be a slut and just hook up , cause after you've done it you cant take it back.
