I have raised three teenage daughters and have been there for them, through peer pressure, helping them on self esteem issues, sharing feelings, communicating with their partners and making personal decisions. I am very proud of them today and feel fortunate to have had the education to guide them in becoming the confident and professional women they are today as well as valued wives and mothers. In my career as a registered nurse, I've been a childbirth educator for pregnant teens and at the delivering bedside of teens as young as 12. I've taught health education to students from grades K-12, especially helping them to explore the values that can work well in their lives, helped them to clarify which values might be most meaningful to them, and have always shared the concepts of caring (for themselves and others), having respect (for themselves and others) and taking responsibility (expecially for their own actions). I can be a listening ear, supportive when needed, an educator, (I have a master's degree as a nurse-specialist in child and adolescent health), and a resource for information.

I would imagine that this would be the case...that perhaps they are wishing that they had remained virginal. If a person has been sexually permissive, and then tries to hide that behavior, it is very
Dear Yaz, Here are the answers to your four questions: 1. Yes 2. No 3. You can't tell...only a doctor can be exact. 4. Not that YOU could determine. I have a few for you: 1. Is "virginity"
You have asked me two questions--what are you?, and do I think you are still a virgin? To answer the first question, I think you are a naive girl of 18 who needs to stop and think about her actions.
"Anatomically, or what happens inside when the vagina is penetrated with a penis" is that a thin membrane inside a young woman's vaginal canal called the "hymen" breaks away, and sometimes a small amount
I wish you had told me your age; also your gender. I'm impressed with the fact that you are giving considerable thought to the meaning and significance of sex. To be able to clarify your own thoughts
