Question - (10 April 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 April 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Here is the whole run down. I am 15 going on 16 my boyfriend is 16. We have been together appox. 9 months. I really really do love him. And I know he loves me. I want to be with him for the rest of my life, we have talked about marriage and everything. Neither of us feel like we are rushing. I am catholic (useful information) and I had always wanted to wait until marriage but, that didn't seem to happen. I had sex last weekend with my boyfriend, he took my virginity and we are better than ever. We got a lot closer from it. We used a condom and I was so freaked out, we didn't go that long. I know I'm not pregnant because I started my period the day after. I do know now, the next time I have sex with him, I want to be extra extra extra safe. I want to be on birth control. I must ask my mother though. I refuse to lie or go behind her back(again). =[ She doesn't know we had sex. How do I bring this up to her. My mom and I are really close by the way.

And just for the record, I knew I was ready because I am very mature for my age, I realize this is a immature thing to say but it's true. I highly recommend waiting for teenagers my age. (I am sort of being hypocritical just trying to help though.)

Telling your mom pretty much what you just said in that message sounds like a pretty good idea. Let her know that you have beliefs and that you don't want to go behind her back and that you're sorry you didn't go to her before anything happened, and that you did this for the right reason and you believe with the right person... tell her everything you just said. And make sure she's calm that day and feeling well. I know that she would rather know that you're doing this so that she can help you. She'll appreciate it and i think the longer you wait, the worse it will be and the more isolated she'll feel from what's going on in your life.
