Life was a trip for young Clara, who just turned 17 and already had a woman's body. All the guys would go crazy whenever she licked her lips. But, those guys only wanted relations with her, not a relationship. It was her introduction to the real world. Things weren't the same as they used to be. Men that were old enough to be her dad knew her name and everyone talked about how she had changed. Then one day, Clara couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she started feeling a bit strange. It felt like a fire that was raging in her veins...

It was her S.E.X. Her mom's secret, and her dad would go insane once his little girl found her S.E.X. She had to think before she lets it go...

     A party was going on at her boyfriend Mark's house. While there, he took Clara by the hand and pulled her into another room. While in there, he started to touch her and tell her that he was ready. Clara had a sudden flashback where her mom was telling her to be careful when she was with guys, but she wouldn't listen. She then tried to push him away and told him that she wasn't ready for sex. "I don't know... i'm just not ready," she said nervously. Her father had always been upset whenever she was around a boy, constantly yelling at her to get her behind back in the house if he ever saw her with one. He replied by saying, "Baby, if you truly love me, you would just give it up already." She then thought of the advice her mom gave to her. "Clara, that is what many guys would say to have their way with you," she recalled her mother saying. Who was the one she could trust?

    Clara took a deep breath. She suddenly realized that it was one of the many ways for a guy to get in her pants and that once it was gone, she could never get it back. She now knows to hold on to her innocence and use her common sense. To be strong and not give in. To wait until she found the guy that truly loves her, and Mark was obviously not one of them. "Mark, stop! I'm not ready!" She yelled in pure anger. Just as he was about place his hand on her leg, she slapped him across the face and ran out the door. She made her way home where her parents were waiting on the front porch. Running into their arms, she whispered "I love you guys so much" in their ears. Without them, she could have lost her innocence forever.
