I am a bit of the opinion that one should wait to have sex, wait to have sex until you would be able to handle the outcomes. I am not just real old fashioned, but the consequences are hard for adults to handle let alone teens. The first one, having a baby, that's pretty real, with 7 billion of us on the planet.. and birth control does fail, or I would not be here nor would my youngest son or a whole bunch of people I know who are a result of failed birth control.

The the world of STI's, and STD's, pap smears, and all that jazz that comes with the territory. HPV which can cause cervical cancer, but is actually quite common. My sister found out she had cervical cancer when she was 18, it did almost kill her after rounds of chemo and radiation, which had to be stopped before the cancer even went into remission. She is extremely lucky that it did, no one thought it was going to happen, and she also had a baby to be here for by that point.

Then the emotional part, which can be devastating and even more so if you are not ready for it. I guess I think the adult things should be saved for adulthood. And there is no hurry or rush to get there. You only get to be a child and a youth for a small percent of your life, but you get to be an adult for most of it, so relish the time you have being a youth while it is there. I know you said not now Dukie, but I just gotta say it anyways.

I think around your age or 14 or so, Dukie I was a late bloomer, I didn't even get my period till I was around 16, so my hormones likely were behind too, everyone is a bit different. And no there is nothing wrong with crushes or any of that. I remember having crushes at that age, but I didn't want to have sex with them, that comes a bit later I think for most people. I had a lot of friends who did become teen moms, and it was not so great for them or their babies.
