I used to be scared and not like talking to girls but all my friends always pushed me. I walked up to a girl and I asked her for her number. Once you get your first number then you lose all fear.

Well, the girl liked me and she asked me if I wanted to have sex with her and I said yeah. We were both virgins, so we wanted to experiment. I think I'd just turned 13. I was curious. I wanted to see how it felt. Most of my friends did it, and they said it felt good, so I tried it. It did, it felt good.

I didn't use a condom. But I didn't know. I guess I wasn't stupid, I just wasn't informed enough about it to really care. If I had had a condom it wouldn't have been a big thing. Not that a condom is 100 percent, but I feel safe when I got a condom on.

A while ago my mom told me to use a condom and and be safe. But she knows I know how to take care of myself. She trusts me. She knows I don't want to die or get somebody pregnant.
