birth control mix-up

very true..

The advice to brag about virginity was excellent, although many people misunderstood it.

Here is how it was meant, I believe:

You are a young teen at school. All the kids around you (peer pressure) are bragging about having sex and who they did it with and how many, etc,. etc. The way to FIGHT THE PEER PRESSURE was to brag about being a virgin while the other kids are bragging about having sex.

Also, I don't think a young girl should be having sex because:

I doubt they enjoy it .
If they do enjoy it, it still doesn't outweigh the risks of pregnancy and stds.
Many of them have sex for the wrong reasons, to keep or get a boyfriend, etc.

i agree with you with the fact that i'm too young to be having sex, but i also believe that i'm mature/responsible enough to take on the responsibilties of sex. i take birth control religiously, i don't sleep with random guys, i use another form of protection on my placebo week, got my partner tested and most of all: i'm not hiding it from my legal guardian.

i know for a fact that a majority of girls my age that are pregnant/having sex, use the pull-out method and/or believe whatever they are told. (i.e. you can't get pregnant on top, can't get pregnant if you pee after sex etc.) i don't believe in crap like that. i know enough to protect myself and often tell my peers the facts. (lately i've been considering a career field in this)

edit: i'm not having sex for the wrong reasons neither. the way i lost my virginity, i regret it. i only did it because i wanted to keep him. but like i said, it doesn't haunt me, it's still a lesson learned. other than that, no one has ever forced me into having sex or vice versa. i know better now.

there are many other reasons why someone might not enjoy sex besides age. i, personnally, do enjoy having sex with someone i care about. its not selfish, or done to gain social status, we just have sex to express how we care about each other. like what penguinrus said, our sex life is private. no one knows but my mother, sisters and you guys. =/

ehh, thanks hun. my last period was normal. same amount, same color, etc. but it was just a couple of days late, probably because i was stressed out.

eiri:
my doctor told me that i had to wait a week when i changed my prescription though. and if you're right, how did my sister end up pregnant?

bellax0x:
i'm not completely putting the blame on my mother, i just said shes just at fault for not informing me about my medication. imagine if it wasn't birth control, maybe a pill that was used to control seizures or high blood pressure? she'd still be at fault for not informing me.

josmi,

I think you are incredibly intelligent and mature, and responsible. How did you get that way and so many others don't?

She's not. No where in there did she say "I am possibly pregnant and it is all my mother's fault". She has taken full responsibility; but that doesn't mean she's not angry at her mother. She's a human being.

You are very strong and respectable. A lot of people take hard situations like yours and turn it around into bad habits (like drugs for example, or promiscuity) and blame it on their past. You have learned from it and applied it to yourself to try to make your life the best it can be. I wish more people could take the best out of bad situations like you have. I'm sorry to hear you have been through so much.
