13?? Jeez. I was 15 when I lost my virginity, and regret it to this day. How about waiting until you're 18 at least. There's no shame in holding out on your first time having sex.
And volley, as far as lying to your friend about your beliefs, you're not being much of a friend if you're not being honest with her, or especially with yourself. She may not agree with you, and she may find what you have to say somewhat unsettling, but if she finds out you've been lying to her the whole time about how you feel about premarital sex, she may not respect you as much for thinking you have to be someone you're really not.
Be honest, and remember, everyone has a different opinion on the matter. You don't have to follow the herd all the time. Wouldn't you be mad if you found out she had been lying to you about something just for the sake of making you feel better?
Just a thought.
