Hello! My boyfriend recently has just left for university and the past few days for me have been terrible. It didn't help that on top of that I'm starting my busiest year of school and my applications for university. Plus, I have my period impending! I was expecting my period yesterday but it did no...

I think on a whole I am a lot better. I feel much more at ease with the break up and I find myself focusing less on his good qualities and placing him on this pedestal and realising his faults. Thank you so much for all the help given by all the Scarleteen staff! I really wonder how I would've done ...

The break up itself doesn't still upset me: I guess the only thing that really still upsets me is the fact that he promised he would fight for us and not give up so easily and the fact that he could break them so easily still kind of gets to me. We talked about future and stuff but I never really sa...

There are moments where I am sure I am over him. It's almost always after school or when I'm surrounded by people. However it's during those moments where I am blur (I guess when I'm most vulnerable?) like when I have just woken up from a nap or sleeping or when I see a couple on TV or when I caught...

It's frustrating for me because he's still consistently checking my snapchat stories and his friends have been giving me odd glances and my gut feeling just tells me he still likes me and that it's not over. I don't really know what to do at this stage. I don't really want to approach him but at the...

He has been viewing my snap stories more (in contrast to how he rarely ever looked at them when we were dating) and he honestly does seem extremely stressed in school. He's been studying a lot and isolating himself from his friends so perhaps it wasn't personal and I have overwhelmed him with my nee...

Thank you so much for the support given to me from all the Scarleteen staff. It's honestly really rough because he was my first sexual partner and I don't know. I just feel like maybe it was the wrong decision. In response to the question about friends, I don't really want to talk to them about it a...

The school day went pretty okay. I continued my usual laughing and talking and banter. I didn't really talk much about him as I didn't really want to annoy my friends. I feel really happy when around these people but when I get home it's like the crushing sadness returns. Perhaps the happiness is a ...

Yes thank you for your quick reply. I have read the post about break ups. I have school in a few hours but I'm not ready to go and face people. I also have to return some of his things today- I wanted to get my friend to help me pass it on but maybe it would help if I did it myself and got it over w...

My friends have been really supportive and have really been there for me recently. No matter how shitty it got they reassured me that I would get through it. It just seems like his reasoning of of "I just dont see a reason for a relationship anymore honestly" makes it seems like disposable...

He broke up with me today. I'm not really sure how I feel. I just feel nothing. I need some comfort right now because his reasoning was that "I just dont feel the need for a relationship right now". As if everything was on his shoulders. He said that it could partially be due to exam stres...

I said I was frustrated that it seemed like I was the only one trying and wanting this and he just kept saying I dont know and that maybe I was the only one who still wanted this. It's frustrating for me because he never voiced his concern of wanting to break up then again when I bring it up he says...

I tried talking to him about it. He said "just don't know how I feel about having a relationship right now" and I asked him how he still felt about me. He didn't reply so I replied around 2 hours later saying that let's just not talk about it now and after his exams as apparently I'm not e...

I am planning to talk to him after his exams which is in about 2 and 1/2 weeks. I'm kind of afraid to talk to him about it now since he'll just probably ask for a break (which is basically a break up in his terms) and I really don't want that. That has happened just a week ago and I'm really anxious...

No definitely not. Prior to his exams he would always talk to me and Skype. Perhaps it's also because we had a two week break where we didn't see each other. The two week break might have caused his feelings to change for me? He did admit he felt less affection to both myself and his friends as he f...

I guess he has been a little jerky. He starts off conversations with me but when it comes to talking about stuff like I love yous or just sometimes out of no where, he doesn't reply at all. He'll ignore me and won't even say goodbye or anything. I've always texted him back a day later and picked up ...

Thank you for your quick reply! I've had had some thought about it and would kind of like to share them here. So basically he and I still haven't been talking a lot and it's perfectly fine since he's under a lot of stress and he wants to be alone. Well a lot of my friends say he should, if he was a ...

We had a conversation today. Well. 5 minutes of talking. Not really a conversation. I asked if we were okay and he said yep and it was alright. I said I love you and he usually says it back and I really needed to hear it today so when he didnt say it back I kind of asked it outright if he could say ...

Yes the infrequent contact is definitely something that I am planning on doing. He has also mentioned it and it has been quite beneficial to both of us (well I'm not sure about him but for me it's been quite helpful). I'd admit it was a little hard to not talk to him so much as we used to text a lot...

Hello all, It's been a really hard few weeks and I didn't really know where else to go or who else to turn to. I just need some kind of forum where I can vent and talk about this as I feel as if I would not be able to talk about to someone in my life. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 2 m...

Sorry for double posting but I am currently doing very well in school and I was anxious if the pills would affect my grades in any way? I mean that by would it affect my mood (losing motivation) or would it make my memory worse etc.

Thank you for the quick reply! I would just like to ask for a few brand names of birth control which I may be interested in. Is there a difference between low-dose birth control (?) and normal birth control? I've been seeing them pop up every where but I don't really understand their difference..

I also have been diagnosed with depression. Would that be a problem for the patch?

Thank you for your quick reply! I read online that with typical use condoms are only 82% effective. Is that information wrong? I have gone through the articles and have gotten a better understanding of each type of birth control. I think I would like to go on the patch and from what I've researched,...

Hello! I recently have started having sex with my boyfriend. The past times we've done it we've always used a condom as our form of birth control. I also tried incorporating the rhythm method whilst using the condom. I am planning on continue using both the condom and the rhythm method however I am ...
