Question

My friends keep telling me to have sex. What should I do?

Say "That's a personal choice, and I'm not ready", "I don't want to", or "that's between my partner and me, and is none of your business." Being ready for sex is something deeply personal, and no one should try to make you do it before you are ready. Your friends may feel insecure or pressured about their own sex lives, and thus they think that talking it up (or pretending they've done it when they haven't) will help them feel better. It can be frustrating to deal with peer pressure. Remember that you control your body, and you decide what to do with it. If this happens a lot, say "I get really uncomfortable when you tell me to have sex. Can we please not have conversations like this anymore?"
