Sad? How can that be sad? In this place and time you are a diamond in the rough!  You don't have a thing to be sad about. On the contrary, you should be proud of yourself. You are rare, in this age of anything goes at any time and any place, it's refreshing to know that some young ladies are still holding out!!!  You can change your sexual status at anytime, but you can never go back! Enjoy these teenage years, and unlike most girls your mind isn't clutter with a bunch of misplaced grown-up concerns. DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, YOUR NOT MISSING A THING! At the end of time their will be some horny little rat-boy still trying to get under your clothing. You hold out for another diamond like yourself, it will be worth it.

That's just the way it is. Hence the word... thir-TEEN. Being a teenager is a big part of life. You may feel that age is just a number. You might not feel any different now, but things do change... It's also the next step into becoming an adult.\nBe happy, and remember not everyone on earth makes it to that age. =)

Hello there! I am sorry to hear you are feeling so down. People are so quick to say someone has depression. You say that you act like you are the happiest person on earth, but you aren't happy on the inside. You just have to believe that you do deserve happiness! I believe that you just have low self-esteem and self worth. 17 is a hard age! Believe me...looking back I felt the same way and wondered what the heck was wrong with myself. Just the pressures nowadays that are being put on young people is enough to make someone want to give up! I know to be happy is easier said than done sometimes, and it is a lot of work sometimes. Once you start believing in yourself it will get more simple. Life is too short not to have fun--experience life. I am not saying go out there and do foolish things, but enjoy the silly stuff. I am an adult and I still like to go to toy stores and play with the puppets! Because it makes me happy. I am not here to make anyone happy but myself. It sounds selfish, but before we can help others, we have to help ourselves. Just the fact that you asked the question on here shows that you are ready and willing to make a change for yourself. I have done a lot of "stupid" things in my life, but I have learned that loved ones are there for you no matter what you do. If people really love you, they are there for you no matter what! You can make little changes in your life. Use positive affirmation..when you start to feel those thoughts of hopelessness creep in--say to yourself that you are not listening anymore. If you are still feeling beyond hopelessness, there are many people you can go to to talk about it. It is not a sign of weakness to ask for some help and guidance. It is you standing up and saying you are sick of being that way and taking control of your life. I wish you luck and hope that I helped a little! Take care!

I'm 43 and having a pretty good time.  My eldest son just made me a grandmother, a term I'm not very comfortable with yet, but having my little princess around is teaching me to love life all over again.  And now that my own kids are grown, I'm getting to do all the things I couldn't do when I had the responsibility of them.  It's kind of like being reborn into a better time.  And I don't feel 43, I still feel like I'm a teenager.  Age is just a number, life is what you make of it.  I intend to make mine a great deal of fun.

When I saw a profile on Myspace where the person was born in 1990. I'm only 21, but that seems young to me. \n\nWhen I see how far the internet has progressed in the past 10 years and realize it's been 10 years since I've been using the internet. I feel old when I see all that these 13 year olds have on the internet now- so much freakin stuff, and how much was there in 1997 when I was 13. I feel old when I see kids with LiveJournals and doing stuff online that I didn't start using until I was 18.\n\nAlso, cellphones. I can actually remember a time when they were not mainstream- when my dad was one of the only ones in town with one. Now, 10 year olds have cell phones. My god. ALso, I didn't have one until I was 19. \n--\nBut really, this generation of kids is even worse then my group. They have no concept of time and history. 1996 was not that long ago.

I was about 15 when I first started have those feelings. I just didn't know what they were or how to act on them. I was 25 when I had my first sexual experience. You never forget your first time.

do not worry about that,if you are 15 years old then you will know what you will do

I know it doesn't feel like it, but you have a lot to learn about yourself still. It doesn't sound like you have been in a relationship with this boy very long, and it also sounds like you are still learning what you like in a relationship, and in a partner.\n\nIf your goal is a long term relationship, I would definitely go slow with this. Rushing won't give you any benefits, and it can get you into trouble if your feelings about this boy are still so new that he turns out to not be as great as you think. Or if you just change your mind or find someone better later.\n\nIf you don't care about a relationship, if you are just looking for fun without commitments, you also need to be very careful because if he thinks this is serious and you don't, he could end up very hurt. then again, it could be the other way around, and you could end up the one being hurt.\n\nRemember, boys at 15 tend to care more about sex than they do relationships.\n\nYour best bet is to move slowly so you can be really sure you are seeing things clearly before you make any big decisions about what to do.\n\nI am sure a lot of people will tell you that 15 is too young to be thinking about a serious relationship, and it is easy to say "they don't know my situation"  That's true.  If you have any female friends that are older, ask them about their relationships when they were your age... and how they feel about them now. It could be that your perspective on this entire situation will be very different in a few years. It can't hurt to ask.

I understand how hard it is being 14 years old.  It seems like just yesterday that I was in the same position - the nervousness, the insecurity, not to mention the stir-crazy feelings that go along with staying in one (possibly small) town for so many years.  I'm only 23 now, and I'm from the US but now living in Japan.  \n\nI felt the same feelings of wanting to run away when I was a teenager, but trust me when I say you will miss your family and friends when you do.  You have your whole life to not be with them, but just enjoy them while you have them.  I know it's hard to understand now, but believe me that you will never be surrounded by so many people that love you as you do when you're under the age of 18.  \n\nThat's what I would tell your friend.  That and no, I'm involved with law and it's impossible to start a legal career at 14.  \n\nTell your friend to just enjoy being a 14-year-old because it only happens once in your life, and BELIEVE ME you will miss it when you're older.

I distinctly remember going through something like this around that age.  I don't see any problem with it, though I will say that none of my friends went through it.  \n\nI am an only child, so was exposed to much more "grown up" stuff such as TV news, more adult type conversations and such.  Perhaps it is just something that she was smart enough to pick up on where some kids don't think that far ahead.\n\nIMHO, this does not seem to be about depression.  This is growing and contemplating life in general.  It may be earlier than you thought, but seems like she is a pretty wise kid!

No! 15 is too young for something like that.

You don't look your age at all!  I'd like to be twenty four, it seems like at that age you're sorted, you have a place to live, a job, and you know what you're doing in life.  I'm eighteen at the mo, (and happy of course! ) yet I feel like I'm too young to be getting up and going, yet too old to be sitting still.

not as sad as being 33 and having been in love once...got your heart broke in so many pieces, only to feel you cant pick up the pieces anymore.  and you give up on love...it was only a dream, a beautiful dream that I couldnt be a part of.\n\nso honey, dont settle, coz perhaps like me, you'll only get one chance, so make it worth it.

Is it any of your grans business who you go out with?? No it isn't so explain this to her and say that at 15 you think 29 is ancient (i know i did at 15 lol) so you wouldn't go out with a 29 yr old. I think you should sit down with your family and basically tell them to grow up because you feel caught up in the middle of everything and it's hurting you. Good luck x
