Hi Eve,
April 7, 2011 - 5:06pmThe decision to have sex is a tough decision for a teenager. Most importantly, it is a personal one, and one that you can make when you feel that you are ready and not because some one else puts pressure on you to do so. Equally important is the responsibility to protect yourself from an unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases or STDs.
Here is a link to the website, TeensHealth, that I think may be helpful in guiding you.
