I don't think this is a "right or wrong" type question. First, legally you're in the clear, although you might want to be careful when you turn 18. Learn what ages are considered statutory rape. I believe in IN, one must be within two years of the adult so 18-16 okay, but 19-16 is considered rape. Just check that out before you turn 18. Bottom line, do you have a form of birth control? What are you going to do if a condom breaks? How are you going to deal with possible disease (depends how sexually active you two are) and possible pregnancy? If you know the answers to all of these questions, then you are quite prepared for sex. There are many teens who don't have a clue about these issues (thanks Bush for abstinence only sex ed) so it should be no surprise that this country has one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy. I hope you are responsible and good luck! Peace and love
I agree with her, but also keep in mind that she is still very young and it wouldn't be proper to leave such a lasting impression on her if you don't believe you have long lasting feelings.
I think the first thing you need to think about as Hippie chick said, is how you'd deal with it if it went wrong. And secondly, are you just using this girl? Because it's not fair to play with someones feelings.
i know its legal. in nj its 3 years. and i have never had sex before and i know she hasnt. and i am DEFINATELY not using her. i love her too much. i would never pressure her to have sex with me, she was the one who brought it up actually
No one was saying that you were pressuring her, but these things need to be said so we can understand your situation. If she is okay with having sex and you are too, then I don't see what the problem would be, unless you two don't practice safe sex, as in, use some form of birth control (two or more methods are always better than one) and be prepared to deal with the possible consequences (ie pregnancy, emotional issues, etc). Good luck and be safe. Peace and love
