I cannot tell you how grateful and proud I am to be able to say that I am a 18 year old woman who has not had sex, not saying I haven't had plenty of opportunities, I just didn't feel ready. Sex is something that is a lot like love, when you know you know, but you can't force the feeling to be there if your body, mind, and spirit aren't ready for it. I was a high school cheerleader for 3 years, and I can say that by our senior year, I was one of two girls out of twelve that had not had sex. Having sex in high school I believe is a large mistake, for many reasons. 1.
