So I was, by my country's standards, a late bloomer. I'd never even kissed anyone until I was 15, nor shown any interest in anyone, which is just unacceptable. When I was at this seaside resort, I did get my first kiss (consensual), and a lot more than I was bargaining for (looking back, not consesual in that grey but legal area; as a 15-year-old, I was just really confused about it). It...may have given me some issues. I only told my closest friend about it (as in, just the fact that it happened, not how terrible I felt about the whole ordeal) after about 6 months or so. She was one of those girls who become independent by seriously chain dating really early on, so she seemed quite thrilled for me. At the time, she was interested in one of my male mates and they were getting into the hanging out a lot and holding hands phase.

After a few weeks, mutual friend walks up to me.

'So I hear you're going around shagging people in seaside resorts'

Apparently she filled in one the details by making me pretty much a slut. And she was telling people about it like some casual thing (I confronted her about it and she basically said she meant it as a good thing). Friendship instantly broken (we had some attempts to reconcile, didn't work out).

(props to my mate for telling me about it, though! It must be hard for a 16-year-old to choose honesty over hormones)
