writes: my little brother just confided to me that he lost his virginity on a fling with a semi stranger that he actually thought might lead to a relationship. He's royally gutted and depressed right now and i don't really know how to comfort him. I think he came to me because I did have a similar first time which was an absolute mistake but i had different reasons for reacting the way that i did to that situation ... for one i was more religious, older and ending up knocked up. So i don't really know how to help him as though similar sitation my experience/mental state was also very different. So i'm not really sure what to do, any advice would be great.

Just let him have space, talk or cry about it as much as he wants and be there for him. You can't really help him, just try to make him see that he should wait untill he is in a relationship before jumping into bed with anyone.
Time is the best healer, and really the only one because all you can do is bitch about this girl with him and try to cheer him up.
Hope he feels better soon, the same thing happened to me and I'm only okay about it now, a month and a half after it happened.

Its nice you want to help your little brother.....but preaching this and that wont help him. he needs to get out thier and play the field, set him up with friends or girls u think he migfht like...let him realise its only sex, not love...sometimes teens can get the two confused..he just needs more experiance in that department.
