Dear Loved Up,
My question to you (even though you may have considered it) is,
what would your parents and your boyfriend's parents do if they
found out what you were doing together?
Sex Before Marriage Is OK
Don't get me wrong, I think sex is something that is OK even if
you aren't married. Also, it feels great, and can be something special
shared between two people. It could be one of the most important
events a couple can share during a relationship (or even before
a relationship).
Pregnancy Is The Downside Of Sex
But, there is also a major downside to sex. I'm sure you know that
sex can lead to having kids, if you don't use protection. Be aware
that you can still get pregnant even if he is wearing a condom (it
can break).
Things will be very weird between you two if you become pregnant.
I know of no 16-year-old guy that wants a child to take care of.
You're Still Young
Also, consider what your family (and everyone else) would think.
It's a fact, you're still young.
 You're
Not Ready For A Kid
I think you should wait at least another year before getting sexually
active. He could be amazing and the sweetest guy but who knows if
his parents want to move away next week. Then nine months later
you have a kid and he won't return your calls anymore.
That would be the worst thing that could happen.
No one can tell you when you are ready or not. Think about it long
and hard before you make up your mind. It's your body and your life,
love it all you can.
