This might be TMI but I figure since this is a women's writing class which focuses on women's issues and this is a womanly experience that it would be appropriate to discuss. When I lost my virginity I was beyond scared, not because I couldn't talk to my parents or because it was traumatic but just because it was a big thing. Oddly enough my best friend also lost her virginity at the same time (I know creepy) and we needed somewhere, some place to go. So we went to our neighborhood Planned Parenthood. When we went it wasn't for an abortion, we just went to have a check up, and be informed about birth control. Now that they have defunded them, I am worried that those resources will become harder for young girls to find. It was a huge comfort just to have someone to talk with about how sex works and how I can be safe about it.
