I am a christian Mom and my girls are too young for details about sex yet, and I do feel that it is best kept within a marriage I have not practiced that always but the people that I know who have are so unbelieveably happy I would give anything to trade places.  I think that it is very important to tell your parents how you feel, I have seen in my own family little girls raised in church & christian private schools and their parents felt that was enough they did not have talks they did not keep tabs on their girls and they both ended up with babies very young and I am not sure if either are married but they did not even choose good men.  Your body and everything within it is a gift that God gave you to share with your husband, you may need advice about what to do with these gifts when you get married and there are books, doctors, and friends who will help.  It is scary to go into anything not already being an expert but this is something that is worth it and lot of prayer will get you through it.  Life is not easy that is why it came with an instruction manual (The Bible). I was not raised in a good home I have had to learn everything on my own and I promise my kids better.  You need to know that you are special and right now your body is still changing and boys are not evil, they are great to hang out with, and having boyfriends is fine you don't have to give "IT" up to get love, you dont need to let them do anything to you to be their girlfriend.  Boys do get mean and you do need to have a tough skin they will say you did things with them and spread rumors, you have to be very choosy on who you trust because just saying no does not guarantee a good reputation, none in my school knew any of the things I actually did but I got a bad reputation because all the boys I turned down spread rumors about me.  No boy ever tells his friends he couldn't even get a kiss.  I hope this helps, you are special and I am sure your parents love you like crazy.
