All of my friends say that they have had sex. I haven’t, and I know I’m not ready. Should I say that I have?

This decision is up to you. Some people might feel awkward and say that they had sex to try and fit in. It may be that some of your friends have not actually had sex but say they have. 80% of 13 year olds have not had sex and the average age for starting sex is 16.

There is nothing to be ashamed of. Knowing that you are not ready is fine. Good on you.
