I too kept a journal, although my sexual awakening came around 8th grade. Bonus twist! I was coming to realize that I was bisexual and had a number of mini romances with various girls in my social group. We were definitely the outcasts, so our exploits weren’t as noted as yours. However, when parents found out about my having made out with the girl I dated for the longest, I was immediately banned from all future birthday parties and sleepovers. Which yeah, ended up in my attempting suicide.
