Theres absolutly nothing wrong with being a virgin!
That's the point we're getting across here. There really is nothing wrong with being a virgin, our society has slipped into a twisted thought process where sexuality has been severely degraded. Crated into a trend, if you will. Matters of love, true intimacy, and lasting romance have become like fairy tales to our youth. And who is setting this example? Well. I'll use a popular corporate media slogan to sum it up, "sex sells".

I have to admit, I find it rather annoying the way sex seems to have been trivialised into something that all the "Cool" kids do, which makes kids rush into things that they should probably wait for.
You bring up a good point, "things they should probably wait for". To explore further into that, the reasons why they should wait is because at the tender teenage years when life is already overwhelming, to rush into such an act will only rob themselves of something which, if they had waited until they were more sensible and knowledgable adults, would have been a much more enjoyable and purposeful experience.
I believe that people should take time to explore their own bodies before they allow someone else to. With the already rampant self esteem issues of teens, that could only spell disaster. Also, the confusion of the emotional attachment would take part, and usually in the end result with heartbreak. Many of these points don't just refer to the teenage years, but rather are heightened, due to increased sensitivity in all these areas.
Any added thoughts on this?

Let's all sob about our pityful, virgin lifes, shall we?
Really now, here's an example of a common misconception about virginity made by people. There is nothing to sob about, and there is nothing pitiful about being a virgin. What is there to gain from frivolous sex? From rushing the experience? I can understand longing for love, but pointless lust? How does that serve you? Down the road, is it really worth it? Think about it, i'd like a serious answer.
