Boyfriend pressuring me for sex

Dear Pastor,

I am almost 20 years old. I am a student nurse and I have a boyfriend who really wants to make love with me, but I am afraid to get pregnant, and it would be my first time having sex.

I really want to do it on my birthday but I am afraid. I live with my family and I do not want to let them down. What should I do to make everyone happy?

Dear Writer,

Tell your boyfriend that you are not ready to have sex. You should not allow him or anybody else to force you into having sex.
