My choice to remain abstinent is for reasons beyond religion and morals. I know that I am nowhere close to being ready for the consequences that come along with sex. Too many people around me have already messed up a lot of things for themselves by choosing to be sexually active, and I think it's very sad that sex is no longer considered special and sacred. Sex is an act of love, not only an act of pleasure and, in my opinion, this subject shouldn't be taken so lightly. I think all of the answers are correct, but I mostly don't do it in fear of the reputation and the people who think that I will do again.
Religion is the only thing more powerful than sex.
In my life, I have done some bad things with drugs and sex. I had sex at the age of 13 and that was the biggest mistake of my life. At the age of 14, I tried a lot of different kinds of drugs. If I could talk to teenage girls my age 16 I would tell them to wait until they are married or at least until they were able to know what is right or wrong. By making these bad decisions, I now have herpes.
