Risks
Some emotional stresses can come if you choose to have sex. You may look at yourself differently, say as a total different person. And if you contract a STD, some of these are incurable and some suicidal thoughts may past by every now and then. It can ruin your future, and you may not be able to forgive what you did in the past.
Social stresses are just as bad as emotional. People will think differently of you E.G as a slut or a "dirty" person. You may lose friends as they would want to stay away from you if you do contract a STD. Your title in school or anywhere can change from being a star cheerleader to a "slut."
Sex can propose physical risks to your bodies as well. With ought using protection, someone who is infected with an STD can be easily transmitted to you. HIV, an STD, is one of the most dreadful diseases to live with as it attacks your immune system, more then your body weakening your bodies main defences against any type of virus/bacterial attack. Some small sickness such as the common cold and/or the flu can easily kill you if you're contracted with this disease. Herpes, as another example, can change your physical appearance as well. If you have any type sex with that person where their herpes warts are, you will contract them as well. They are very, very gross, and this can change your social status as well because people would stay away from you because you're "unclean."
Thankfully, all of these diseases can be treated but not necessarily cured. Some can be cured but not all, and the way to get these treatments involves money. These drugs and treatments are not free, and you're going to have to pay up to get treated. If you do not do so, this can sometimes lead to death. You won't be able to do things as fun as you wanted to as you will have consistently pay for the medication. Or you won't be able to go to the school you wanted to go to because you didn't have the money since it was all used on medication.
