    Why would it be weird? You've turned the legal age and you haven't had sex? Woah. Is it weird that I know people who are 16 and they haven't smoked? It's legal so obviously it's weird they haven't... :L

    It'd be weird if you were 50 something and not in a convent.

    I've never actually had a boyfriend before because I guess I was a little to scared to commit, and one or two liked me more than I liked them. And i'm not the kind of girl that would be involved with a guy thats not my boyfriend. I'm moving back to England for sixth form after a brief time in the US and I feel like i'll be the only one thats not that experienced with boys and is still a virgin. Is that weird and do you think it would be a problem? Would boys like me less because i'm not experienced?
    I think there's such a big peer pressure to lose your virginity that it can make you feel like if you're not doing it then you're weird or different. People think everyone's doing it so I should be too. I am at university and I can tell you there are so many inexperienced people at uni. You shouldn't do it just cos everyone else is. You definitely won't be the only virgin at 16. It won't be a problem if the guy you're with is the right guy. He'll understand. I am 20 and still a virgin and my boyfriend understands. If he doesn't, then he isn't good enough for you. Just take your time and do things when you're ready and comfortable. That way it'll be special.

    Oh god -.-
    It is not weird to be a virgin at 16.

    And if a boy was to dislike you because you are inexperienced, then he is the one with the problem, not you.

    Not weird, if increasingly uncommon

    Boys won't give a damn (will likely be inexperienced themselves at that age) but where men are concerned, it's preferable if the girl has some experience

    Exactly. The amount of attractive, funny, intelligent, interesting girls i've met this year who hadn't done anything with a guy before they came to uni is staggering. I don't mean that in a bad way, but you would have expected them to have been in relationships for years. At 16 a lot of girls have barely started interacting with the opposite sex regularly never mind sleeping around.

    Its suffocating just how much pressure there is to be in a relationship. Especially if you haven't had one before.

    Some people seem to forget that 16 years old is the legal minimum - not maximum...

    Your comprehension skills are as good as your photoshop skills....:rolleyes:

    :fyi: If you don't want me showing 'that' photo to everyone, all you need to do is ask me not to post it. Then again, when you've over 50 photos up, why don't you want that one up? :holmes:

    I don't mind you being my 'fan' but harassing me every time you log on is getting a little too much. :erm:

    I've never photo-shopped anything and as I said before, I proved you wrong and ended the discussion but you're too self involved to even realise that.

    I'd suggest you pipe down seeing as you've already received a warning, soon enough you'll just get banned kiddo. :smug:
