Dear Bro Jo,
Thank you for your quick response, I thought it was going to take much longer then just a few days.
You are correct, no one (or) nothing can make me do anything. I should have worded it differently. It would've been better to say, that because of the extreme enforcement of the standards, that I was curious and I rebelled.
I had a talk with my very close cousin about this, whom I trust allot. She too told me that although what I did was wrong, it really is not very serious. I know that it seems strange for me (as a teenager who's hormones are raging) to feel so bad about it and to say that I didn't even enjoy it. I tried to remind myself that it wasn't as serious as I am making it, but the guilt and regret that I am feeling, isn't going away. Even though I have repented and asked for forgiveness. Maybe if I give myself more time, it will all pass.
But thank you for your advice, I appreciate the harsh kindness :)

Dear NW,
Everything gets easier with time.
- Bro Jo
