I was 18 and in a relationship with someone who cared and who I knew would look after me. I guess the first time is never the most pleasurable, but it wasn't painful and it was special to me.
I'm glad I chose what i feel was the right person.
Sure, we broke up a few weeks later, but still remained good friends. After that I went on a bit of a wild spree, sometimes not being quite as careful as I should have been, but I came out ok, and have now been in a relationship for nearly 5 years, bar a 6 months break.
Pregnancy in young girls is ridiculous. Up until about 1 year ago, I was totally against the idea of having children. Now I'd like to. But I first want to get married. I take my pill regularly, and I'd never consider going off it without my bf's consent.

Peer pressure plays a big role in teenagers getting pregnant at such a young age - it really ruins your life though, and is VERY difficult to deal with
