If you don't feel ready then it's safe to assume you aren't ready. I would suggest you wait. You will know yourself when the time is right.
There is a lot of pressure nowadays to have sex. We live in a very sexualised culture, especially when it comes to the media. Sex is a very personal thing though and something that you need to explore in your own time. I would think carefully about the reasons why you want to have sex. Don't allow yourself to be pressured into it by your peers or someone close to you if you are not ready for it.
Your opinions of sex and what it means for you may change over time and as you engage in it more but for now if you are really not sure about it then I would say wait.
I would also suggest that you talk to someone you can trust about it. Maybe a family member, close friend, counsellor or even your doctor.
you can even check out this website and many others that offer advice.

Don't worry you are not the only one asking yourself these questions.
