Dear Amy: I’m a 16-year-old girl. I just started my junior year of high school. I’m doing a pretty good job so far. My dilemma is that I’m worried that I’ll never lose my virginity in my 20s because I don’t have “experience” yet. And whenever I read about people saying that they don’t want to be with anyone if they’re a virgin, it makes me feel even worse. I’ve never been kissed, and I’ve never had a boyfriend, so whenever I think about it, I get upset and my mind starts to spiral. Sometimes, with the way things are going now with dating I think I’ll never find someone without wearing revealing clothing or hooking up with every guy I meet. I know that you’ll probably say, “Just focus on school.” Which I am trying to do since I’m aiming to get all A’s my junior year. But for me, when you don’t have any relationship experience and you don’t want to settle, just to lose your virginity to any boy, it tends to be frustrating, especially with what boys these days are like. What should I do? — Teen With no Experience Dear Teen: I read a recent study stating that roughly half of kids your age (girls and boys) have had some sexual experience.
