    I suppose it's because your parents want to approach the subject BEFORE you actually have sex; because they know the emotional damage it can cause when you get two kids who want to act grown up and the girl ends up pregnant and the boy is going to be a daddy at 16!

    I think that you should sit down with them and just tell them like you've told us.

    You seem to be a pretty well-adjusted young lady; your parents must be very proud of you dear. I wish that all youngsters would think like you do.

    Good luck sweetie.

    I think you're reading your parents backward. They're worried you are going to have sex, I doubt they're telling you to have sex.

    Just tell them that they don't have to worry, you are not going to have sex with him any time soon, you know you're not ready, and if you do decide you're ready, you'll ask them first to get you a prescription to go on the pill before you decide to do so. That should clear up the problem.

    If you're asked, you can say you know you're not ready by the gold standard of what is 'ready': "You're ready to have sex when you want it and you're totally comfortable and trusting of the person you're with," And tell them that you don't fit that definition yet, and if it changes you will tell them first.

    Parents are usually protective of daughters because they are afraid they'll get pregnant.

    That is not fair that your parents keep wanting you to have sex. Don't rush it. It is your body. Respect it and stay a virgin. You are not stupid. You are very smart.
