Quote From: june7thI am 15 and my boyfriend is 18, my parents have no issue with the age gap because they have a five year age difference. I will graduate next year (my birthday is in December so I started school at age 4). I know most people don't think that I would have been emotionally stable or mature to have made this decision, but I most certainly am. My relationship with my boyfriend is stronger and more serious than other people our age as we were best friends before we became a couple and went through some very rough and emotionally trying times together. I am not some average sexually active teenager, I am very careful, and informed about birth control methods, we use condoms and I am on birth control as a back up plan. I know what many people will think when they see his age, but he isn't just some guy who wants to have sex, we made the decision together and we didn't pressure eachother either. Unfortunately, we did break the promise after talking it over and doing a lot of thinking about the consequences that it would have, yet again I wasn't pressured, and i only regret the fact that I lied to my parents.
Every 15 year old girl thinks the same thing that you think, that your relationship is stable and serious, etc., and I know that it seems true at this point. But when you are a few years older you are going to look back and realize how young you are- going through all the responsible procedures that you've gone through before making the decision to have sex does not mean that its okay to have sex. Just because you made good decisions before you had sex together does not mean that its okay to have sex and to continue to have sex.
Your parents are going to find out again, and then what? Why is sex so important to you and your boyfriend? If your relationship is so strong and stable, then sex wouldn't be so important.
