    While it is wonderful that you have firm conviction and that you have made a safe decision that is right for you about sex, you have to remember that everyone’s beliefs, needs, and experiences are different. It is a myth that this interest teens have in sex is new. The fact is, depending on culture, historically people have put a myriad of different valuations on virginity and sex. Some valued virginity greatly, while others did not; just like today. Some teens feel that virginity is not something they value; that it is not a treasure to be tightly held on to. I was such a teen and regret nothing. I have a happy fulfilled life and enjoy a very healthy, long-term monogamous relationship. On the other hand, I have a dear friend who waited until marriage and also has no regrets and is very happy. There are always horror stories on both sides of an argument. This is a decision that only the person involved can make and the person should not be judged for his or her decision to wait or not wait to have sex. That being said, abstinence is the safest sex and sex today can be very dangerous. Those teens that are having sex should keep in mind that there is nothing fun or sexy about an STD. Please everyone out there, practice safe sex: be that abstinence or protection.
