What's wrong with protecting yourself from pregnancy and STD's? I protected myself the only way I knew how- abstinence. Does this make me a lesbian? I heard the rumor that I was a lesbian when I was in jr high school. I didn't dispute it, if someone asked me I'd tell them I'm straight but I didn't care about any reputation. Actually, I was relieved. I thought guys didn't like me because they thought I was ugly, but they just thought I was gay.
I heard the same rumor about myself in high school. Again, I didn't care I just laughed when my friend told me. I told her they thought they same thing when in was in jr high, but it's not true.
How could I not care? How could I let them think I'm gay? Well, I didn't tell them I was gay, they came up with that idea on their own and not only did I not feel like proving myself to anyone, but I thought that rumor was keeping me out of trouble. If people didn't think I was gay I might have had a boyfriend and boyfriends think they're supposed to sleep with their girlfriends so I was better off because I didn't want to sleep with anyone.
Actually, that's not entirely true. I did want to have sex, but I didn't want pregnancies or STDs. I mentioned that, right? Oh yeah, and I was a virgin and didn't want to because I heard it would hurt.
