First Kiss, First boyfriendd., err...what?!?! Options

[chinke3xcuti3]

Have you noticed that "kids" or should I say, "pre-teens", seem to rush into things, like, for example, the first kiss, their first love, etc.

Well, most of my friends have already had the first kiss, I haven't. Most of my friends either WANT a boyfriend, or already HAD a boyfriend, or still has one, none of those go for me. For me, I want my first kiss to be unexpected, and romantic, while all my other friends got thier first kiss in spin the bottle. I'm thirteen, turning fourteen soon, and when I say, "haha..i've never kissed anybody before, except on the cheek," they're all like. "OMFG. ARE YOU SERIOUS?" and start making a big deal out of it. I'm more of the person who just wants to have fun at this age, I'm not ready for commitment, and all that stupid drama. Like, boys have asked me out, but I always reject them, and some people start rumors saying I'm a lesbian JUST because I've never had a boyfriend. I find it kind of stupid how like, they're all rushing into these kind of stuff....I mean, why can't they relax, and take things slow? Sometimes they even make a big deal out of ME not having a boyfriend, or not having my first kiss, and it really irritates me.

So, the question is, How can I send them the message that I'm REALLY not ready for these kind of stuff, but not go bilistic on them, and be like, 'JUST LEAVE ME ALONE'....andd. What do you think of kids these days rushing into everything? ehh..some of the sixth graders at my school has already had sex, and one of the sixth graders was expelled from school because she was pregnant. >.< Oh, and...is it wrong to want to take things at a slow pace or something...because...people freak if you say you've never kissed a boy at this age..

well, i definitely agree with you about kids these days rushing into things. it seems as though our generation is lost, really. the highschool i go too is pretty "ghetto," even though i hate labels. my class wasn't as bad as this year's freshmen. i took pity upon them and im ashamed on some of them. one girl got AIDs at a daytime. and the virgins who came in, are not virgins when the school year is over. im not sure why girls and guys are losing their virginity so fast. i guess it might be peer pressure or the fact that they had sex & gloat about it. but i didnt get my first kiss until i was 15. and i started dating in 6th grade. im 16 now & im still a virgin (i plan to be until i wed or if i found the right person), so don't even worry about it. i have plenty of friends who havent had their first kiss or first boyfriend. going at a slow place is good. who cares what your friends say about it? just play along with it or say smartass remarks. maybe that'll shut up 'em up. but dont even stress about sex, kiss, boyfriends, etc. until you're ready.. go for it.
