Am I lame?

[ReginaGeorge]

I want some honest answers here, no "everyone goes at their own pace" or "the best time is when you're ready" crap. Honest opinions.

I'm 17 next month, and I'm graduating high school in September or something and I feel very behind regarding life-experiences than my friends and peers.

One of the things that bugs me the most is all about my love life, or lack of. I've never been in a relationship, not even one of those stupid ones that don't really count before you hit puberty. I've never held hands with someone let alone kissed or had sex with. I've never flirted, never been on a date etc. I haven't even hugged someone in a romantic sense.

My love life is at like -68/10.

Is it lame to go through high school and into adulthood without at least some kind of romantic experience? :(

I wouldn't call it lame and while puberty is for most a time of experimentation and finding out who your really are the lack of having a relationship during these years doesn't define who you are. I don't know you well enough or your circumstances to comment on why this is for you but I know you are not alone.
I have many older friends since my bf is older and many of these girls are already in college. I have heard a couple of them say the same thing when they were in HS and that thier lives took a 180 degree turn once they got to college. Not sure if your a religious person but there is a passage in the Bible that gives good advise on this. Ecclesiastes 3: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: I'm not what you call a zealot when it comes to religion but i have found the Bible does have answers to everyday questions and problems I look at it more as an owners manual for humans and when something goes wrong i look there to find some answers. I hope you find the answers your looking for

Dude, don't stress over this. Some people don't date at your age, some do. I'm only in 8th grade but we're just talking about this in health class. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

I wouldn't consider it lame at all, I am sure you are far from being alone too. My only advice is don't worry about it and enjoy life just as you are right now.
