Stuff Going On

Teen Stories

kitt, 17

I know you guys have had to put up with my insecurity about my virginity a lot, but I haven't really found the help I've been looking for. Can you (or some other teens on this site) direct me to a website or something I can use for some sort of counseling? My parents now think I've been on drugs (which I haven't) and my dad forces me to, in his words, "keep it in my pants". He won't mind his own business about it even when I'm in the same room as a girl, even if we're related, or when there is a massive age difference. My mom actually makes fun of me constantly for being a virgin, along with the rest of her family. Her boyfriend's son, that I'm friends with, has been having extremely sexual relationships since before I met him three or 4 years ago. He was out with some other people last time I was around, and I had to stay home and rot, as usual. His dad said, "he's chasing.....", and my mom looked right at me and said, "at least someone is."

Just as an added note, you should know they are all immature and perverted most times, but it still hurts. My mom's boyfriend can't even go five minutes without using profanity and giggling. ...and NO he does not have Tourette's.

Whats it Mean ?

  • kitt, it's pretty natural to become frustrated when there aren't any easy answers to be found. Don't give up looking for those answers.
  • It doesn't sound as though your father, your mom, or your mom's boyfriend are respecting your boundaries when it comes to your personal information. It might be good to start by letting them know where those boundaries lie.
  • When it comes to the internet, there are a lot of sources of information, a lot of different self-help web sites, and even counseling services. Knowing what is good, solid information and what isn't is the tough part.
  • On-line counselors and therapists are out there. If you decide to follow that path, check credentials and make sure that the counselor or therapist is properly licensed.
  • Perhaps your family physician can refer you to a counselor or suggest some web sites to visit for the information that you are looking for.
