The First Time

I know when your 15 and you look all about,
everyone seems to be doing it except me now.
I have known this young man for six months but then ,
I'm not sure if my childhood is quite ready to end.

Hi there honey I am a 54 year young female who cares,
and I would like to help you with what I have learned and want to share.
If that young man truly cares for you and has respect ,
then keep it that way without the thought of sex.

Oh the young people don't realize that when you just give it away ,
There are ones all of the school doing the same thing today.
If you follow the crowd what make you special any more ,
please honey don't join them in that revolving door.

I think the ones who finds their love for life ,
are the ones who doesn't have sex that's right.
For to be so unique and they wont have any stories on you,
give you the respect you are so due.

Now I have seen many at your age give themselves away,
and given a few months that one you felt you loved leaves today.
Where will your heart be all shattered and now tears instead of a smile,
Believe me honey they are truly the most painful all the while.

As long as you keep yourself and give not of your soul,
everyone will have respect for you and you will truly glow.
For while your friends come and cry for their boyfriend did them wrong,
Honey you will know you were true to your heart and remains strong.

At your age everyone is just learning and you feel this love is real,
Only its natural what you feel .

But remember they are just learning to,
and they will try anything and say anything to get you to do what everyone else will do.

Are you ready for the whole school to know,
that you aren't a virgin anymore .
Are you ready for the pain and being left behind,
and tell me who would want someone already taken along the line.

Author notes

Save yourself from untold pain and wait until you are out of school and save yourself from the shame for in school once you give of yourself there is no turning back

    *smiles and glances down at my true love waits ring* I took a vow when I was 14 to not have sex till marriage and I keep it that way! My high school is the biggest in Minnesota,with over 5000 students and about 1300 in my graduating class next year. Dating is a frivilous thing. Girls gets together and break up faster than the minutes to by. I think dating is a specail thing, not just having fun in your youth. I've been with the same guy since I was 12 (making september our 6 year anniv). Very fine write! One that really hit it home.

    Warmest of love,
    Mylee

    Hi there!

    You've brought up a subject I've talked to her about only briefly, but it's a very valid and true concern. We live in a very small town, a tight community...and in places like this, it’s not always just the whole school that knows, but the whole town. We’ve also talked about what happens if or when they break up, and she has a new boyfriend...because it’s then going to be a question with every guy she dates, and where and how to then set boundaries. Exactly like the “revolving door” you mention in your poem.

    I’d love to see you take a second look and shine this up a wee bit...quite a few spelling errors or typos. I think it’s a poem very deserving of some polishing, as I hope a lot of young people have a chance to read it and take it to heart.

    Thank you so much for sharing these thoughts, which are a unique perspective from what I’ve seen so far. I really appreciate the entry, and I’m sure she does too.

    Good luck and best wishes,
    ~J.

    i agree with you.
    my boyfriend and i are making the choice to wait and we don't regret it one bit. sure it's hard, but worth it. your first time is not something you want to throw away carelessly.

    I have heard that the boys in school tend to brag about these things so don't let yourself be pressured. There has to be a level of trust and maturity.

    I'm with you stories, wait until your wedding night. There are more people doing this than anyone realizes. I don't have any regrets. I was 23 when I married and I was a Virgin. Thanks for approaching this subject. By the way stories, you're still young.

    WOW!!! What a wonderful job you did on this one! How true your words! I hope every young lady, faced with question sees this and they at least stop and think, and answer your questions. There is soooo much peer pressure today, that everyone thinks they need to follow suit. Sex is a big responsibility, and needs to be thought about and talked about at home, with the parents. I could go on forever on this one! You did a great job on this one honey!

    Best of luck in this contest!

    and love

    Nyetta
