Is 19 too young to have a bf?

[Anonymous]

My whole family sees me as innocent and pure, but little did they know, I've been in a relationship and have made out a few times. I'm still a virgin though, and I want to stay one for as long as I can. The thing is, I feel TERRIBLY guilty about having a boyfriend and I don't know why. I don't feel innocent anymore and am so scared I'll make a mistake and go too far. Please help! This has been preoccupying my mind and the guilt won't go away.

Is it bad if I only told one parent?

Baby... its not dat u r too young or what... nature has given u all d attributes of being in love n make love... but baby ur parents dont want u to be pure or innocent or watever... dey jus want to protect u from d harsh feelings of heart break and unfaithfulness... n moreover u need to first concentrate on other aspects of life... lyk being independent n successful career wise... n be a little wise to judge whose gid or not gud for u... so please be wise n take steps carefully... all d best.

With how fast this generation is..

Apparently , some people feel like they are the last person on Earth to have a relationship at 15 years old.

19 years old? You're legal.
You're not a little girl anymore.
But in the eyes of many, a young lady.
You have to gain experience at some point.
It is expected.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. You're old enough to have a boyfriend. Just because you have one doesn't mean you're going to lose your innocence. Just make sure your boyfriend knows and supports your decision on staying a virgin until you're ready.

It's not too young at all, actually a lot of people have had boyfriend/girlfriend before
Your parents don't have to know everything about you, that's YOUR private life and YOUR boyfriend, not theirs. You're not a child anymore, you're an adult, do what you want

It's not too young. Just make sure you don't commit yourself nor do things you'd regret, or things your future self will look back on and cringe or cry about.

If you;'re worried about going too far, try to meditate a bit everyday about what you value as your principles, or you can try to pray and seek the strength to resist.

Too young? My first relationship was at 11 xD I think 19 is a perfect age to be in a relationship, you're already an adult and you have to start finding a man that will be there with you forever. I feel like your family is very "old school".

You're are not to young. My mom and dad got married at 19 and are still together ( about 22 years).

I usually feel better if I tell my mom ( the more understanding one ) what I have done and I feel better. Try doing that.

Having a boyfriend doesn't make any less innocent. As long as you don't abuse it, like date many men. Finding a genuine guy that wants to be with you, is kinda mandatory.

No if I can get my daughter to make to 19 in this generation of growing up way too fast I would feel good about that.

avoid being together on the desolate place. because once you get there, will lead to an action you will regret as your concern.
about bf i dont think that worst thing, just make sure you not get any sexual activity

Yeah that's cause you are sneaking behind their backs, having relationships. Your suffering guilt trips because of their frowns upon you.

You probably have a strict traditional parent. Many people started at a very young age to have a boyfriend. I had my very first one when I was 13.

At 19 you're legal liability, an adult and should be quite responsible. do not feel guilty about going too far. However it's understandable if you don't want to go so far because of personal choice.

In some people 19 is too old to not have one yet

To* some people

My mother was married a year and had me at 19.

[iluvbunnies]
