I went to an all girl high school and it was a wonderful experience. Of course, single sex schools have their own pros and cons. Obviously there are exceptions but unless you have zero encounters with the opposite sex outside your school day there are plenty of other chance to learn how to interact with the other gender outside the classroom. In fact in my experience I find that girls from my high school are more assertive in the classroom and life. Also the drama is far reduced compared to other high schools because without boys around the source of a lot of drama is eliminated. I would also like to say that I went from an all girl setting to majoring in engineering where I was surrounded by men. I had no problems making friends. Again there are always exceptions but I have found that single sex education doesn’t make an awkward person – people are either awkward or not. However, it is a very powerful educational tool where the focus is on academics.

If I were you, I’d get one. Always best to take care of yourself and do preventative checks. It’s not bad, it’s over and done with very quickly. If anything, a pap smear at this point will familiarize you with your body and the process. It’s only a benefit to your health, no downside to getting it done. Cervical cancer doesn’t care if you are sexually active or not, you may still possibly develop cervical cancer from the HPV virus without sexual intercourse, the risk is low. Pap smears are not fun but finding a doctor you are comfortable with makes a huge difference, but do well to consult and get the medical advice from a medical personnel before going ahead with the test.
