Girls True Story

When I was 14 years old I started dating a boy. That summer I turned 15 and we hung out together every day. I seriously thought I was in love with him. We talked about me losing my virginity to him, but it never happened because I was too scared. However, one of my girlfriends at that time encouraged me to lose my virginity to him. She constantly told me that it wasn’t a big deal. I began to believe she was right and so by the end of the summer my boyfriend and I decided to have sex.

After that first time, he wanted to do it all of the time, but I didn’t think it was right. I was so scared to tell my parents, I didn’t tell them for like 4 months after it happened. My boyfriend and I had sex a second time and that’s when I had a pregnancy scare. It was probably the scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.

At the time, I was in sports and all that was running through my mind was everything that would change and what my friends would think, let alone my parents. My parents were my best friends and I told them everything but I didn’t want to see them disappointed in me. I didn’t tell them about my scare, but I did tell a close friend. She had her parent’s get me a pregnancy test that I took and it said I was negative.

About 2 months later my boyfriend and I broke up and I ended up telling my parents. From that day forward I have decided to be secondary abstinent because I don’t want to ruin my future by taking the chance of getting pregnant. My experience did affect my relationship with my family. I have become a stronger person and I’ve learned to say no, because I don’t want to go through this same thing again. Never let anyone tell you what to do, even if they say, “Well, if you love me you will do this,” because you could end up messing up your life and your relationships with people.
