I thought if you had sex (I wasn't too sure what that was, but I knew babies came from having sex) then the girl would automatically be pregnant but the baby wouldn't start to grow until she was 15 years old. I was terrified to hold hands or kiss a boy because I thought that might be sex and then I'd have a baby when I was 15 and everyone would know I'd had sex.
