Sex education

When I was in high school I think I took a sex education class or health education class, I don't remember very well. In one of those classes I learned about being abstinent. The teacher told us that by being abstinent we won't get STDs. I decided to stay abstinent and not get a girlfriend to not get an STD. I was judged even by my mother due to not having a girlfriend and my cousin mildred used to put me down and she used to call me names. Because of people's judgments I decided to get a girlfriend that's when I called Annie, she gave me her number in high school. But I wanted to stay abstinent just as the teacher told us.
