Whatever it is, it's not an STI. If you haven't done anything sexual, then you can't of caught a sexually transmitted disease it's impossible.
It is possible though to get certain infections naturally, for example bacteria/viruses that many people carry in their bodies (unnoticed most of the time) will become a health problem if maybe your immune system is weakened in some way.
So talk to your parents and if needs be go to the doctor. It may be embarrassing but most people experience something like this in their lifetime. If it's something that needs treatment then it's much easier in the long run to get it sorted now.

first of all dmartin89, this is a bloke we're dealing with...
But again, what makes you think you have an STI? It could be nothing. If you're not brave enough to talk to your parents, then go and see your doctor.

Why do you think you have an still? If you have a sore itchy vagina with discharge then its thrush.

Hey, Bud. Listen, it is important to get to a doctor. Although you mey feel very embarrased to tell your parents and such, the fact of life is that we have all been through something similiar. Picture this, 15 years down the road when you meet a wonderful woman who you call your wife, are you going to hide the fact that you and her will be having a child? Which means that you had sex with her? I know your young and all, as am I, but you will soon come to find that your private parts are not always private. you have to get physicals, exams, and shower after gym or practice with a bunch of other dudes (which is still weird for me)Talk to your dad, tell him that you are sore and that you want to go see a doctor. You dont have to have any mention of a open sore or rash or whatever your symptoms are. Who knows, maybe you just have a normal ailment that isn't even close to being an STI. But do remember, if you do have a sexually transmitted infection, it is nothing to be embarasses of. People catch colds and the flu every day!Good luck! Just chill and tell your dad that you are sore and that need to see a doc.
