I know what you mean. I was thought for the longest time that I was an un-date-able one ... until I discovered what God was trying to say to me.

It's okay to have friendships, close friendships even, when you are still in middle school/high school--they can help you to grow. But don't forget what your main focus is to be: being a better mirror for the Lord. Sometimes He keeps us from getting into situations that we crave--such as dating--because He KNOWS we would be in over our heads. He also does this to try to get us to understand that we should not be striving for anyone else's approval but His. To me, He was a bit more specific: how can you possibly handle a mature relationship--like dating is--when you cannot be satisfied with Me?

I don't think I'm undatable, I just think that the way I strike guys is different then the way other girls strike guys. It's like they're interested in me, but there's something about me that's different that they seem unsure about. I think it's the way God shines through me.
Plus I'm so picky with the guys I like.

But what you said helps. Thanks.

STD's and unwanted pregnancies go way down when people wait until marriage.

Not nessarily. You don't magically become immune to STDs once you're married, and just because you're married doesn't mean that you want/are ready to have children right off the bat.

I apologize, I meant to say the risk goes down. My point was that abstaining until marriage reduces the risk of STD's and pre-marital pregnancies (since sexual contact should be 0). So we agree, you don't become immune to STD's because you are married and you do not have much more control of when one of your "kicks" makes a "goal." I just wasn't quite clear enough.

Being in high school, I'm faced with many things that SAtan likes to attack me with. Sex, drugs, cursing, and putting other down for my own benefit. I'm sure this is the same for many of you.

But lately, I've noticed, that almost everyone in my school has had sex already..even my closest friends!!! It scares me, and makes me a little sad, because it makes me feel that the only way for me to get involved w/ someone, is if I 'do it' with them.

Of course I never would!! It just scares me, that's all.

So am I the only one who believes they should save themselves for marraige? If not please reply. I can't do this alone.

Well, it is a major sin in the Christian religion to have sex before marriage(I'm pretty sure it is anyway) and with a lot of people in this guild being Christian, I am sure you are not the only one. Matter of fact, I can prove you are not the only one, because I am waiting until marriage to have sex.

Oh, gosh. I am sorry, I did not know that. Was what I said a sin? Even if it is not, I am truly sorry for that. I did not know.

This brings me to a question. The Seven Deadly Sins, are these the only types of sins or what. I would like to know.

Galatians 5:19-21

19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
