Frustration
I know this app is supposed to be educational and supporting, but it really makes me feel bad about my sex life. Seeing other people being able to do the things I can’t do just because of age is annoying. It makes me jealous and puts me in a bad mood; that’s why I’m never on this app anymore. I don’t even know why I’m typing this right now.
I’ve made another post a couple months ago about how I wish I was grown because as a teenager I feel constantly restricted and restrained. I know when I’m an adult I’m just going to wish I was younger because that’s that happened with 9 year old me wanting to be a teenager, I just want to have the freedom to make my own decisions and do whatever I want. (Said every teenager ever) I wish sex wasn’t such a “gross” thing. I wish it wasn’t discouraged to teenagers; especially because your teenage years are probably some of your horniest. It’s a natural part of life! I understand that the concern is teenage pregnancy but that’s why you TEACH your kids about safe sex from an early age and continue to teach them as they get older.
Im on birth control. I got on birth control because my mother is extremely understanding and knows that teenagers are teenagers and should be allowed to act as such. She’s perfectly cool with me, 15, having sex. I’ve never used a condom, and my long term boyfriend came inside of me one out of the three times we’ve had sex so far. And I’m not pregnant. Thats my point. if you educate your children you shouldn’t have to restrict them from being teenagers. Because restriction is the leading cause of stupidity. Think post Disney Miley Cyrus (sorry if I butchered her name) think ANY child of a restricted household the MOMENT they get an inch of freedom. They do stupid shit, that they 100% will regret. If you let your kids be kids, let your teens be teens, you’ll find that they won’t crave their n a t u r a l cravings as much by the time they get freedom and therefore won’t be stupid with it.
Anyway. My point of this is I feel restricted, and I hate it. And horny teenagers will always find a way if you restrict them, (which is what causes teenage pregnancy) so just don’t. I’ve had sex in an open field, in the woods behind a mall, and even risked it enough to have sex in my boyfriends room with the door open *while his parents were downstairs* which was the first time in my year and a half of dating him I got the privilege to actually have sex in a bed.
Disclaimers: I only said my age to see all the pricks get pissed lmao.
To any kid/teenager younger than, older than, or my age and unsure about having sex: please wait. It’s different for everyone but multiple people I’ve spoken to have said sex is better when you’re in love with the person you’re having sex with. If you dont know if you’re ready then you’re not ready. Virginity is just a title don’t worry too much about “losing” it. I highly believe that being “ready” has nothing to do with the number of years you’ve been alive. It has to do with your maturity levels. Just because I, a 15 year old feel as if I am ready to have sex doesn’t mean every other 15 year old *or older* will feel ready.
Again, if you’re unsure, uneducated, or *n o t. y e t. a. t e e n a g e r* you aren’t ready
Sorry if this is all over the place. Adults, feel free to argue, agree, or ignore this post now. You will not change my mind.
