Family
I don't really talk to them about that but I feel like they've said to Wait until you're older.
I'm not ready and i'm too young still.
social media
Tiktok/and other social media
"Losing your virginity is cool"
"you haven't lost your virginity yet?"
If you havent lost your virginity, you arent cool.
Mr. M
Use protection, get checked, legal consent is 18, expensive, make sure its wanted.
Wants whats best for us, needs to be a healthy choice.
Church
I grew up without religion, and don't go to church.
Religion doesn't have an influence
tv/ movies
Even in my childhood movies all the girls at beaches were really skinny, tan, and in bikinis.
You have to be skinny, tan, and wear bikinis to look good at the beach.
My gut
Thoughts run through my head but I always stop and think about what could happen and that I know I'm not ready.
It's normal to have those thoughts but don't follow through with them because i'm young and not even close to ready.
Friends
When we talk about people we like, we talk about their personality and never really anything sexual.
Relationships
The only relationship I was in there was no pressure to have sex and I was treated really well.
Sex isn't needed to have an amazing relationship
Music
One song I listen to is What makes you beautiful by One direction and the song is about thinking someone's beautiful and being in love.
commercials
Lots of commercials i've seen have models that have "stereotypical" bodies and are really skinny
You have to have the right body to wear those clothes and to fit into them
You don't need sex for a relationship and that's not as important as the other parts of a relationship.
I think that means that we are still to young and it just not really worth talking about yet.
