text: am i too young to be having sex? i'm in 5th grade, 11 years old.  i had sex the first time with a boy a month ago. he started it but i really liked it too.  i want to keep doing it but adults tell me i'm too young.  i know how to be safe and not get pregnant and i know to not do it with a boy much older then me.  i get strait a's and i play youth softball.  am i really too young?  i don't think so. you sound mature for your age.. and i think that does play a factor.. i say if you feel you are truly ready, and you feel you know what you are doing, and you know how to stay away from std's and getting pregnant.. than maybe it is ok..
