Personal Standards

A common theme in sex education that is overlooked is a set of personal standards or values that a person holds them self to.  I think some teens are attracted to people for the wrong reasons.  I don't believe mine are 100% correct and they don't apply to everyone, but they are things I have learned over the years.

More than anything, a person’s demeanor attracts me to them. I like a young man that presents himself as confident, intelligent and independent. I personally don’t expect a person to bring more to the table than me. So be it materialistic or a personality trait, have it or match it and there will be automatic attraction.

When I had a boyfriend, I had a lot less time for my friends and homework and stuff that really matter. Glad that’s over.

The relationship did not affect my relationship with my parents. He understood that my relationship with my parents was far more important.

Looking back, I honestly can’t say I would have done anything differently. Things happened the way they did for a reason.
