If you truly repent God will forgive you and if you want to change for the better He will help you no matter what you did. I know numerous Christians who have made mistakes and are now wonderful people of God. I've made mistakes myself and I'm still working on fixing them. One thing that has helped me with my struggles is by doing a Bible reading plan and filling my life with God's word. If you have questions about purity I recommend reading Before You Meet Prince Charming by Sarah Mally. It is a book recommended by the Duggars who are friends of the Bates. In the book she talks about purity and relationships. No matter what you did or if your still struggling with it, Jesus is right their with you helping you on your way and you are not the only one or first to make a mistake. I'll be praying for you.

I think it's great they do this with their daughters and make a big deal about it, because I've worked with a number of teen girls who think their worth is in the interest of a guy, and they will do anything to get it.
