Introducing myself

Hi! my names Anna I'm 16 years old soon to be 17, I joined this community I guess you could say because it's nice to have advice and support from those who've been through it. I also have a boyfriend and we've been together for almost 4 months, he makes me so happy and I know I'm young but god I love him. One more thing y'all, if I'm not on birth controls but we eventually have sex and it's protected is it really bad, I've never had sex and he says he doesn't want to pressure me into anything I respect that but I'm so scared of losing my virginity.
