So I've been thinking lately and I've realized that I am very ashamed of my virginity...I'm only 17, yet I feel like this is old to be a virgin, or at least it's considered 'old' in my oversexed generation, it seems... I just feel like there are certain things that should be experienced by a certain time in life and I feel incredibly left out. I've never even been kissed, let alone have sex, and this leads me to believe that something is wrong with me. In fact, I know that something is wrong with me...the fact that I'm ugly. Yep, no guy has ever shown even a tiny little bit of interest in me, ever. I know I am not pretty, so don't tell me I am when you don't even know what I look like. Also, I know I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for posting this, but FYI I'm not asking people to help me get laid. I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me and feeling ashamed of their virginity.

So, I'm going to kindly request a couple things before I go, and that is: Please do not give me that corny lecture about how the right person will come along at the right time and that in the meantime I should just enjoy being a kid. I've gotten this lecture over and over before and it doesn't help my situation or the way I feel at all. So if this is the only kind of thing you can think to say then please don't bother replying. Also, if you're religious, please don't push the whole "wait until marriage"/preaching abstinence thing on me, because that doesn't help either. Thank you. ~
