Hey Alice,

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I'm a high school student who believes in abstinence and I always feel like I'm the only one who hasn't done "it" or won't do "it" until I'm married. My reasons have to do with my very strong faith in God. As a traditional Roman Catholic, I believe that it is wrong to have pre-marital sex. However, it is hard to feel like a normal teenager, when everyone around me seems to be having sex. Stick to your guns! There are so many people out there having sex just because it seems that "everyone else is doing it." If you don't want to do it, don't. I've never had sex, and neither have my college attending sister and brother. See, you have three people who support your virginity fully.
