Hi, Angela!
I really liked what you wrote. I think this text or similar ones should be spread among teenagers. The same thing happens here, in Brazil. Teenagers feel the pressure to lose their virginity, due to peer pressure, and they end up, as you said, regretting it. Aids and other STDīs as well as unwanted pregnancy must be considered and a good dialogue between the couple is really necessary. However, most teens, especially girls, give in in order to "fit" the group... A text like yours shows in a clear and objective way the risks involved.
Congratulations!

Ps: I went to WSU for the Fall Term 2005 (as an exchange student). I really liked it!!!
