Question
Hi, im 15 years old and my boy friend is 16. His buddies girlfriend is my best friend and she told me that at homecoming this friday he was gonna see if i would. she was just warning me. so should i, i mean we are in a deep relationship.
Answer
Absolutely not! There is a lot that both of you should talk about first - birth control, sexually transmitted infection including HIV, risk of disease and pernancy, using condoms, and what it will mean to both of you, emotionally. He spoke of it like trying to steal something - to his friend first - which suggests you are not very important. This is a serious decision and you risk having your heart broken - not to mention you are still very young - with lots of time for sex - later. Thanks for asking!
