Is it normal that i'm 18 year old girl,i don't drink and i'm a virgin?

I don't like the taste of alcohol plus it gives me a headache and makes me vomit so I dont drink it. When I try to explain this to people they think I'm really weird. Also I'm the only one of my friends who has never had sex and they make fun of me all the time for it. I just don't feel ready yet so why would I do it? Especially with some random guy. I'm not ugly or a prude so why am I like this? Is it normal? How am I supposed to fit in at uni??

    Firstly there are many girls who are still virgin at 18. It is not that unusual and many pretend to be sexually active. You should be aware of that. And about drinking if you don't like it don't you it (you can still smoke weed - become a rastafarian Im kidding). Don't worry you'll fit perfectly at the university because the guuys there are mature enough to understand that people are different. It's not like in high school where you have to be in a group to fit in.
    So yes you're normal

      "Many pretend to be sexually active"? Do you have evidence for that?

        I also support his claim that many pretend. I've seen several do it just to stop their friends from pressuring them into something they're not ready for.

        Are you really going to pressure her? We all know people fake it sometimes do not try to discourage op she is clearly not ready! That is not a bad thing.

          I'm not pressuring her to have sex, silly. I was just wondering if she'd read a study on this or something.

    Don't be pressured into sex just yet. Sometimes girls do it for no good reason other than trying it. Don't be pressured to fit in.

    I have the sane issue with alcohol, and I usually (lie) to people that I have an allergy to it so they don't pester me about not drinking.

    Not liking booze is a real blessing. However, in this world, it is a bit difficult to socialize with out drinking some. I don't think most of us like booze at first, but we pretend we do and continue to drink to be one of the crowd. If you really want to be able to drink with others, then buy some white wine and make some very weak wine coolers and start practicing. Ease into it by making them stronger until you can handle wine. You can teach yourself to be accustomed to it and even learn to like it. You do not ever need to get drunk, but starting off slowly will get you further down the road in learning how to handle it. If you can handle a couple of glasses of white wine, you will be able to handle almost any social situation, but never have to worry about doing something stupid.

    Give up your virginity when you are ready. You make the call. My advice is to be with someone you like and are attracted to. Make him use a condom. You can get an STD or pregnant on the first time out and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't expect a lot of fireworks the first times out, although it can happen. It is like anything else, the more you do it, the more comfortable you will become. A glass of good wine and sex with the right partner are two of the things that make this world bearable. In my case, particularly if they are done together. Enjoy.

  • I see nothing wrong with any of this. It's all normal to me. I grew up in a world full of violence, sex, and drugs. Almost all those kids i grew up with are either fathers at 16, in prison, or dead. Why? Because they wanted to fit in.

    Kids are stupid and easily Manipulated. I know this because i was the same way lol. Im lucky i didnt do what they did. If you should feel anything it's proud. Alot of people i know regret everything they ever did, and soon your friends will also.

    Just continue to do was seems right to you, regardless of what other people think or say.
    To start to smoke or drink or have sex with some stupid guy because of your "friends" and the social pressure, that is lame... Be yourself and be strong !

    It's so, so normal. You have no idea. If you don't like drinking, that's fine. If you don't want to have sex, that's fine. I've known women who have had to hide the fact that they are virgins so that they would stop getting ridiculed. It's so sad that it has to be that way but it happens to so many people I know.
    Don't you ever give into peer pressure! It's not worth it! :]
