I don't know who said it that you can't legally have sex until you're an adult (I can't find the comment again) but I'd just like to point out that the age of consent applies when you are having sex with someone else over 18, which does not translate to: two 16 year olds can't legally have sex... a 13 and an 18, illegal. 13 yr old w another 13 yr old... legal.

I lost my virginity at 15 (almost 16) and told my mom a week later. I told her so that i could be responsible and get checked out to make sure i didn't have any STDs or anything and so that i could get the pill. My parents still don't trust me for some inane reason. But everyone makes a viable point, your mom was only giving you the opportunity, the decision to go was up to you.

I was 13 when i had my first gyno appoinment. My mom though i was having sex..

I feel your pain. My mom took me to my first one when I was 14. Pointless seeing as I didn't lose my virginity until I was 23.

YDI...its called being a woman. are you going to say FML every year when you get your annual exam like the rest of us? poor baby!! you should be proud that you're still a virgin at 15! or do you feel left out because you're not a *****?

In my state they start checking for some things when you're sexually active, but they don't check for cancers until after twenty, regardless of your sexual history.

I wonder if your mom knows that even if your not a virgin the doctor can't tell her. She can't know anything about your doctors visit. Doctor, patient confidentiality. Actually the doctor can't do anything you don't want them to do anyway... They can't make you let them check and see if your a virgin. God, people are so stupid.

Actually, you're supposed to start seeing a gynecologist for an annual pap smear as soon as you begin menstruating.

Your mom is a control freak OP.

So your mom cares. BFD!
