Q: I am a 15 year old girl and
I have been going out with my boyfriend for about 4 months now.
Lately he has been pushing me to do sexual things. I am not sure I
am ready yet. I love him and don’t want to affect our
relationship. What should I do?
A: You clearly have done some
careful thinking about what is right for you. Good for you!
If you aren’t ready to participate in any sexual act, DON’T DO IT.
It’s important to realize that getting involved sexually is a big
responsibility with both emotional and physical consequences. It’s
not something you do because someone else pressures you into it.
If your boyfriend doesn’t understand and respect your decision, he
probably isn’t right for you nor is he a very good friend. A real
friend doesn’t try to make you do something you don’t want to do.
A real friend supports who you are and respects your decisions.
Maybe you should leave this relationship. The pain of a break up
will be less than the pain of doing something you didn’t want, nor
were ready to do.
