#30, I'm not even really Christian but there are things in the bible that mention premarital sex (thnks to google), a lot of christians like to ignore things in the bible that are inconveinent to them, but then say "oh the bible says being gay is wrong" (not saying you're like that), the bible says a lot of things that people don't follow. Anyway here's some. "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:1-2, KJV) " Fornication=sex outside of marriage "Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I am. But if they cannot control themselves, they should marry, for it is better to marry than to burn with passion (1 Corinthians 7:8-9)" "I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him." (2 Corinthians 11:2)"

That's really a horrible thing for a parent to say. She should be mature enought to realize that waiting to have sex is a prefectly valid choice, and that it doesn't necesarily mean you "can't get laid". I'm 16, and I'm still a virgin (According to some of the comments here, I honestly can't say it's by choice because I've never had the oppurtunity to lose it yet, though I almost beyond a shadow of a doubt would still be one if I had had the chance). I used to be all about that "I'm waiting til marriage" stuff, but now I just say that I'll wait until I'm ready. If that happens next week, so be it. If it happens on my wedding night, so be it. (Ironically I dropped the whole waiting til marriage thing in 7th grade, right after they first gave us their "Abstinece is freedom!!" garbage that we've had shoved down our throats ever year since). I just say whatever your choice is, follow it. Don't let yourself be pressured into something you're not ready to do. And don't let anyone tell you it's the wrong choice.

Your mom rocks. Endofstory.

That's not something a professing Christian should say. Maybe you should bring that up with your mom.

anyone can get laid. waiting till marriage is just pointless in my opinion.

this is by far the best FML story I've heard

don't listen to your mom. i made the same choice to wait, and i don't regret it. :) stay true to your faith!

wow...your mom's a bitch. i'm sorry...but i could never picture my mom saying that. ever.

#16: You're the bitch here. I made same decision as OP. I can get laid. I've had several offers from various guys and girls and a boyfriend who'd be willing if I wanted to. I don't want to. Believe it or not, some of us don't let our lives revolve around sex or want it and all the drama that comes with it as part of our lives yet.

parents these days >__
