I'm actually kinda of surprised to see Dawn mentioned so often. I kind of think she'd be one of the last to have sex. Maybe because I see Dawn as a lot like myself though. I don't think Dawn would be saving herself for marriage or anything, but she's really not like all the other girls (even though I think it's obvious she DOES desperately want to fit it) maybe a little too serious and mature for a lot of the guys even though I think she would try not to be. For Dawn I just kind of see the opportunity not coming up until college. I don't know, like I said I'm probably just inserting my own life into Dawns.

LOL, didn't mean to create a disturbing thread, but I agree that thinking about 13 year old BSC members doing the dirty deed is a bit creepy. Guess I read too much fanfiction. I can see where some of you are coming from with Mary Anne and Dawn. Dawn would probably see it as natural and no big deal--a sort of hippie mentality, and Mary Anne being mature and steady with someone--I guess that makes sense. I could see Mary Anne more in the context of a relationship, but Dawn or Claudia more in a hookup sense. Okay, now I'm sounding like a perv.

I could see Stacey waiting. I know we snark about her having loads of boyfriends, but in general Stacey seems more like 'good girl' material, considering her behaviour in Stacey and the Bad Girls... although despite being a "Native New Yorker" as Stacey goes on and on about, she's quite naive, so as someone said, she could unintentionally lead guys on and when they start to hit on her, she backs off.
Kristy could be like her Mum and wait (Elizabeth wouldn't even live in the same house as someone she wasn't married to!)
Mary Anne will probably have a situation like Mary Anne Vs Logan. Logan will keep pushing her for it and she will stand up for herself.
I bet Sunny's already done it. And probably Laine. Haha with the King of her Heart ;D

^ Glad to see your thoughts on those three waiting. I agree, even though I had never thought of Kristy taking Elizabeth's example (which I think was a really good one, even though I'm sure I'm the only one on here who thinks so ;D) I like to think that all the girls would wait and not give into peer pressure but know that is so rare. I really need to stop reading this thread as it is very disturbing ;D I prefer thinking of them as innocent 13 year olds, which is why I read the BSC books.

^No, you're not the only who thinks it's nice to see something like that happen in a book! My mind went immediately to Stacey when I saw this thread title. I don't think she'd be sleeping with EVERYONE, but I DO think she'd get serious enough with someone to do it pretty young. I like the suggestion of Laine, too. This thread is a little disturbing, but when you open it up to ALL the characters, and not just the sitters, it provokes some thought.

Hmmm, maybe I'm strange for NOT thinking that this thread is disturbing, apparently. It is weird that we're imposing our own ideas of what's "good" and "bad" on these fictional girls. I think that most of them who would decide to not wait until marriage (like much of today's kids, let's face it) wouldn't see themselves as doing anything wrong. They might wait for the right person to come along, but that's something different entirely. I agree with whoever said that Dawn would be more of a free spirit and not see anything inherently bad about sex.

I think waiting until you're ready is more important than waiting for marriage, which is why I don't think Elizabeth's example is such a good one -- wasn't she pregnant by 21? The fact that she and her husband turned out to be so incompatible points to the possibility that they didn't seriously consider marriage as much besides a path to sex. I'm sure it isn't what AMM meant to imply, but I really dislike the idea of the situation.

I think Mallory would be one of the first, because she's so obsessed with being "older."

^That's a good possibility, but she'd definitely be setting herself up for a lot of trouble! ;D

I disagree about Dawn. I'm not saying she'd wait or anything (I mean honestly very few people actually do and tbh none of the BSC REALLY seem like they have such steadfast morals that they would and I agree there's nothing wrong with that) but I don't see her being all "woo hoo free love, I'm a hippie!!!" because she's not really HIPPIE-ISH imo. She's a vegetarian and cares about the environment but i wouldn't call her a hippie exactly. Sunny seems more like a hippie girl to me than Dawn because she really IS free-spirited and whatnot. Dawn's a bit uptight to be all hippie girl to me.
I agree with starrynight, I don't think that Stacey would be running around town opening her legs to whoever asked, but given her tendency to fall in luv every four days, she'd think she was in love and have sex based on that.
