I'm 15 and never been in a relationship or had my first kiss. My friend keeps going on about how she doesn't want to be a 17 year old virgin and such and I'm just afraid I will end up as one. I feel as if I'm not normal as I've never been in a relationship before at my age. Is it normal?

Dear Random Teenager,

It is perfectly normal to be 15 and not have been in a relationship. Don't let your friend scare you. I haven't had my first kiss yet and I'm 16 so I think you're good. It's not abnormal to feel the way your feeling, but it's not abnormal to not have been in a relationship yet either. You don't need to force yourself into a relationship or sex or kissing someone. God has a plan for you and it's your job to pray about these kinds of things and not freak out if something isn't happening right when you want it to. If you want to be in a relationship with a certain someone and you have been wanting it for a while, then go for it! But don't just choose a random person and end up not enjoying your first relationship.
