I don't know that all schools & various places in the world are the same time frame. I'm guessing there are schools that have sessions year round, or opposite of USA.
As to pre marital sex, this is a sin & it is in the bible that it is wrong.
Young folks have a very hard time with abstinance (often times), that is not unusual that people (young ones in particular) make mistakes this way.
It is hard to resist, when there is attraction, & particularly at this age! It is good that you are able to come to God For help! That is what matters most, that you realize that it is offensive to HIM, & that you try harder. That is what HE Asks Of us. Not perfection, but perfecting!
When we unite with HIM, that we can say, "no," to our desires of the flesh, & wait for marriage, we are blessed. It is not easy, people mess up! You are not a failure, we all make mistakes.
As to speaking, speak first, always & foremost to God. We each can have a personal relationship with HIM. This is our Holy Spirit connection to HIM. God Never Rejects us. HE Might Reprimand us (guilt is one way we reprimand ourselves, but we eventually let go of it/ as Jesus Forgives our sins, we are set free when we ask for forgiveness from God & sometimes also from others/ depending on the case), that we have to face a situation where we mess up & then be strong (that's not always easy).
Our rewards, are not the outter always that we can see. ie; say no to boyfriend, then don't get hugged, no more boyfriend (for awhile), then have to face him, his friends, the peer pressure of it all, all of it!
The True Rewards, come from when we do what is right in GOD'S EYES. Yes, we are to honor our mother & father, this is good, & in the bible. But HE IS OUR FATHER too & it is HIS WORD we try to keep.
The temptations in life are great, when we are younger there are temptations & peer pressures that go along with this age, as we get older, again, more pressure & temptations, they are different but always in life, we have to push ourselves to do what is right (by HIS WORD we are set free).
When we are in CHRIST, & have HIS LOVE & HIS HELP, we can rest knowing that when we try, & sometimes we mess up (we are human), & then try again, always to please GOD (Our Father In Heaven), then, life simplifies.
It is never, "easy," no matter our age, or life circumstances, for those that are with & in HIM. But The Path becomes familiar. It's His Path & there is but one instruction manual! We open it, read & reread it until we finally start to catch on. We might get it memorized even, but it is THE LIVING WORD, so always we are challenged & work to perfect ourselves, in HIM.
Too, we want to be noticed. Everyone wants to make a difference, one way or another, however small, however large, we want people to see us, as God Sees us. For pitty's sake why can't they see us like God Does? Well, that's probably because we are being perfected, by HIM, through our mistakes, our successes, througout our lives; trial & error, we go back to The Instruction Manual.
You made a mistake. Ask God's Forgiveness, try to do better, for HIM!
Read & reread The Manual (bible). It is up to you & between you & God whether to tell your mom, & if it helps you, then tell her!
We all sin, what God Asks Is That we try harder, to be strong in HIM, by HIS LOVE & FORGIVENESS!
The avenues to sin, with technology as it is nowadays are greater than ever, but also is the ability to seek prayer with others, in joyous communion, that HE IS OUR SAVIOR!
God Bless you. If you can learn to say no, to the temptations of the flesh as to fornication, this gets easier in time, then when you are married, it is for God's Glory! It's not about being perfect but perfecting in CHRIST & The Instruction Manual, The Holy Bible (God's Word).

My bf asked me to stay afterschool and asked me to do sinful things. .. I wanted to say no because I know god hates sin but I love him so I couldn't say no so I did it. He wants me to stay afterfschool monday to watch a movie with his best friend but I'm afraid because of what happened. I cried all night... my mom asked me why I spent so long brushing my teeth and I'm afraid she finds out. I want to talk about it but I don't know with who. Please pray.
