Sex is a common topic in High School. But don't feel like it's something you HAVE to do to prove a point or your "manliness" or anything. It's a choice you should think about for a long time before you go through with it. And just because someone talks about sex doesn't mean they have actually done anything. And as long as you know what sex is I'd say you are pretty much okay.

Sex is a common topic among guys, its going to be the central focus of topics.
Although as they say "When in rome , do as romans do."
But like IanMilo has mentioned, people saying they have done it need not mean they have done it.
Peer pressure will be something thats going to very common that instigates you.
Discipline and self control is what you have to learn in high school.

Look and observe and learn but be no part in the folly.
Trust me it helps :)

Sex is a commonplace topic among HS students.... it's a feeding ground of pubescent boys surrounded by "easily romanced" girls, what do you expect to happen?

I'm going to be quite frank with you: relax. It's no big deal and you'll be able to hold your own in conversation.

As for performing the acts themselves, it's not as common as some would like to think. Guys lie... some of us do. Why? To impress friends, make them jealous, etc. You don't have to have sex, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that and, albeit it seems like an enjoyable activity ;), I wouldn't want to lose something as, what I see as, precious as my virginity for a bit of fun. My body's a temple, not a tent.

So, breath deep. Go with the punches. Hold your own with honesty and a bit of humor. It's not that big of a deal and, among certain social groups, may even be brought up rarely.

Well first off there is quite alot of talk about sex. Mostly about who did it with who and what they did. But it's not really anything to worry about. Just don't give into peer pressure and if you have any questions talk to a sex ed teacher. That's what they are there to do.

Thank you guys have been a big help. I come from a small class from a school that is K-8. Nothing like that happens at my school or im just not in "the loop".

Sex in high school? It's your choice whether or not you become the boy who talks about it, has it, and expects it shamelessly, or you can be the boy who is subtle about his sexuality, enjoys the topic but does not dwell on it constantly, and has some sense of control over himself and does not sucumb to his sexual urges 24/7. People in high school are still people. You can hurt someone with sexual behavior. Please be careful.

To be honest, I do not think about it that often. Sex in high school wasn't a big thing for me; I'm a senior this year, and although I'm male I haven't heard it talked about too much. People here at my school are polite, though. We're a "higher standard" school I suppose.

Yeah, it will be a public school in central jersey

Doesn't matter public or private school, sex is a common topic for HS. People will talk and just remember that is all it is....talk. It may seem like all these people are doing things your not or what have you but remember to relax and be yourself. Don't feel pressured to do something just because u hear everyone else is doing it. Easier said than done but very true. Engage in conversation, find some humour in it and have fun.
As far as educating urself, google whatever topics u like and find out that way. If u feel there is a counselor that u can trust, there's another option and sites like this usually have a decent amount of honest information.
