Being a homeschooled Christian for most of my life, I am not comfortable with talking about topics related to se*. My friend told me to "be normal" and that "everyone does it" so why can't I just accept it? How do I respond? Thank you so much!

I'd remind yourself that you don't owe anyone an explanation. And if someone wants to push you on such matters all you need to say is 'I don't Want to and that's all you need to understand'.

Be very honest with her, tell her she is grossly misinformed and that everyone is NOT "doing it". Tell her it makes people look trampy to sleep around just because everyone else is doing it also. And tell her if SHE does it, she WILL regret it someday..

You're better off not being comfortable talking about it. People throw it around too much. I'd find new friends.

And don't use the word 'tramp'. If you say 'that looks trampy' she will hear 'i think you're slutty'. That won't make her re-think her actions, just make her think less of you for talking to her like that. The goal isn't to insult her, but rather find a legitimate way to get her to stop pressuring you.

Thanks for all the replies!
Well my friends arent doing the actual act of se* ;from what they told me, they are not going that far. Its just that almost everyone I know in my school makes dirty jokes and talk about it like its nothing. They don't get really dirty, but the theme is there. I'm not comfortable with it, but it seems like everyone else is.

Sorry about that guys, I don't think I was specific enough on the first post because I was rushing. Its not the actual act of se*, just talking about it a lot.

So now I'm wondering, is it okay for everyone to be making dirty jokes, references and all that a lot ?

I wouldn't talk about it to much. dirty jokes are probably not a good idea. Don't be uncomfortable discussing the subject though among family and close friends never be dirty though. Be careful bringing the subject up as some people don't like talking about it and it can be considered rude.

I think you are smart enough to know that if you are wondering, then you already know the answer.

My niece was made fun of and ridiculed in school for standing up for her Christian beliefs. A lot of her friends stopped being friends with her since she didn't go to parties and join in on the sex jokes or comments. Stay strong with your beliefs because school is going to get tough for you with everyone else living in the world.

If you talk about it and joke about it casually, you will develop a causal thinking and attitude about it. If you develop a casual attitude about it that can lead to casual actions about it.
Sin starts with a thought, that blooms into thinking on the thought, that turns into learning to accept the thought, which goes into thinking about doing an act, which leads to curiosity and/or desire and ultimately this leads to sin. And for some people that leads to addiction. The initial thought isn't a sin, but everything you do once it enters your head will determine if you fall into it or stand your ground and walk away from it. The farther you let that thought go the more it will push you to go farther.
Give the devil a foothold and that's all he needs to ruin the rest of your life.

And there is no taking sex back. Performing sex or sexual acts, outside of marriage, is a stain on your conscience that is hard to erase and difficult to stop, no matter how bad you feel. It just opens doors to so many potential problems.

Hey God made sex. He looked at all he made/created and deemed it good. No one should feel ashamed of themselves and their sexuality. But we shouldnt put it on the billboard either.
You shouldnt feel uncomfy to talk about it with people like parents and so. People outside of close family..its none of their buisness. You and your body have more worth than to just be picked up and used like a coin on the sidewalk. You shouldnt feel comfortable givig yourself away, but just accept that AFTER MARRIAGE it is a normal thing. I wish more people were like you honestly, its rare for people in our generation to have healthy a self worth and self respect.
Dont he ashamed either!! Oh and sex isnt a bad word..just sayni

Hey, I was Home-schooled until High School and when people told me I should be having sex (*not afraid to use the whole word here), I just flat out told 'em that I was waiting to get married to the right person and that I'd have plenty of sex to make of for lost time then (LOL).

Look, friend. Sex may be a normal human thing, but all normal things were made to operate according to God's rules! Here's an equation my parent's gave me...

Sex Outside of Marriage = Evil/Fornication
Sex Inside of Marriage = Awesome and you should have it all the time! [*Looking massively forward to it! ;)]

Look, don't let anyone else define your standards, let Jesus define yours standards! Believe me, I've been where you are, it's worth it.

I had a lot of times when I was tempted and refused, and I am no happy that I came through it rather than sold myself out. You will feel dirtied forever if you do sell yourself out, by the by.

Dunno if this helps, but take if from me...

I may not know about sex in marriage yet (since I haven't had it before), but I DO KNOW about NOT having sex with the wrong person or before the wrong time. It feels good to know that I wasn't cheap and easy, and that I first and foremost belong to God and his Christ.

That is a feeling far beyond anything sex will ever become... lemme tell ya ;).

Your parents probably taught you not to really deal with the topic because in most situations it's not polite to talk about like politics and torture, although not everyone thinks that anymore so your friend could just have a different background where the topic was just as common as any other
