Question Are they telling the truth? - January 9th 2011, 02:50 PM

Two of my best friends are so close they are like a married couple, and if I have a sleepover with them they are always glancing at eachother and talking about 'that thing' and 'did I tell you about that thing?' and 'I'll tell you later'. ()
Once I managed to get them to tell me and they said that they'd both had sex.
We're all 13.
I didn't believe them at first, but then one said this guy on holiday who was a year older than her 'sort of forced her into it' when she was 9 or 10, and the other said that every time she goes down to her cousins, she goes out with 'the crew' and they get drunk and end up doing it with some random guy from the crew.
She says shes going down at easter and do we want to come, basically 'are you brave enough to do it?'
I don't want to, I'm 13 and not in a hurry to rush anything, trying to sneak drink at a party is one thing, but going miles away from home to get drunk with a load of strangers and possibly get taken advantage of is another.

Are they lying to get me to do something stupid or are they serious?

Well, she could be exaggerating but on the other hand she could be serious.

If you're not 100% sure that you want to go at Easter then don't go. Tell her you have other plans or something.

Also, good for you for not wanting to rush things, there's no shame in waiting and if you did drunkenly end up having sex with a stranger then you may regret it in the future.

Take care and I hope you make the right decision for yourself

She could be lying, but you never know. Some kids will do anything for attention.
Now whether you should go or not is your decision. If you think you are ready or if you think that you would be able to say no, then and only then should you go.
You absolutely don't have to do anything that you don't want to.

If you don't feel like you shouldn't, then you shouldn't. I personally don't think that any 13-or-younger kids should be having sex. I definitely don't think that anyone, no matter how old, should be going to parties to get drunk and have sex with total strangers. Thats just not the way its supposed to be.
Tell them you have stuff to do with your family or something. Or just tell them you don't want to have some dirty stranger screw you. If they're real friends they won't pressure you so much to make you go. Either way, you can't let them make that kind of decision for you.

I can't tell if they're lying or serious from my laptop, but I've seen/heard directly of enough of this kinda stuff to not be surprised at all if it was serious.

I would keep a safe distance if I was you. You don't wana tug along and end up "not doing it", and possibly getting singled out for it by your friends because of it. I dono how to put it... thinking about it though, if you do decide to go with your two friends, don't let anyone push you into anything. Don't let yourself to just get "taken" by some random guy you don't even know, make them work for you and show you that they're actually worth your attention before getting intimate. Observe, get to know them slightly better etc.

Kinda girly advice on my part lol, but hey, Im here to say whatever I think helps.


If you've got some spare time, read this:

But don't if you're easily triggered. If you're not easily triggered then go ahead.
