    i was 15 1/2 when my dance teacher and her husband (late 30's) whom i was sooooo close to since i was 3 starting initiating Lots of drinking and sexual acts and picture taking with me. i loved them so much and my entire family was very close to them and their families. it continued for 3 years but i only saw them 3 or 4 times a year cuz my family had moved to so. louisiana by then. i started pulling away from them and lived a lie thinking somehow it could have been my fault also. i'm in couseling now and just told my mom the other day. it's a crazy sick world when this kinda thing can happen.

    I was raped when i was 13 years old. And every since then i have had a verry sexual life. I am 15 now! i just told my parents about me geting raped just last year and there was nothing we could do about it. I really didnt want to do any thing because it was my brother-n-law that did it to me. My sister doesnt know about it. I cant go to the law now because my parents would get in trouble and go to jail themselves. No body els know about this. I have had sex with some older guys than me. the oldest one was my dads best friend...know one know about that. My parents think i have never had sex!!!!

    I met this guy about a month ago and i really like him, but there is one problem, he is several years older tham me. I'm not just talking about 5 or 6 years. He is all most twice my age! He is 29 and i am 15. My parents dont know about him. only one of my friends. Me and this guy have not done any thing but we are both scared about someone finding out and he will get in a lot of trouble. I really care about him, i would do any thing for him and i know he would do any thing for me too. The laws here in Texas if you are over 18 and you are with someone that is under 18 it is jail bait.

    I don't think it really matters with the age. However, if your mind is working properly, you should know whats right and whats wrong. You SHOULD know the consequences coming after your actions. Nonetheless, if your insisting on having sexual intercourse at a young age, you should use contraceptives. Anyways, if your READY, your READY.. but if your underage, use contraceptives, so that you wouldn't risk the chance of getting any type of diseases or getting pregnant(for the girls), or getting someone pregnant(guys).
