Hey,

Just passing this along until Heather gets back with you. http://transgenderteensurvivalguide.tum ... -resources

Hi Zooey, Not having feelings reciprocated in the same way is definitely tough, especially since it's so new :( I think it is really important to consider what you want/feel and how much that matches up with what your ex is looking for. And not JUST the fact that you want to continue being with this...

Tonight, the original women of '16 and Pregnant' and 'Teen Mom' are back (and I'm low key excited)! Back in 2009, MTV started something we've never seen before by documenting the experiences of teens as they navigated their experience with pregnancy and parenting. Viewers get to follow along as teen...

Bgrace, checking into the Help Near You page. It is giving me some trouble as well. In the mean time Kittens has given some great suggestions. Going through a healthcare provider you know and trust can be helpful. If you give me more information about your location (zip or county) I can help you loc...

The best indication that you are not pregnant is by taking a pregnancy test and getting negative results. But as Sam said, a withdrawal bleed indicates no pregnancy occurred.

Hi Bgrace, First I'd just like to let you know how much I admire that you are taking such an active role in your mental healthcare and well being, even when you are not getting much support. Helping you locate services you are comfortable with is certainly something that we can do! You can use our H...

Hi Jaie, I can't give you any specific information about the impact of travel and illness but I can tell you that a number of things can affect your period. It's not uncommon for there to be some variance, and a few days falls within the typical range. Here is a article that can give you more inform...

Hey! Yes chat is a service that you can utilize but should not, and can not, be used in place of any mental health services. Check out the Help Near You section first and let me know if you have any issues locating services. Honestly, I think it will be very difficult for you to process your feeling...

The end of a relationship is tough! And given the length of your relationship, this is something you have been dealing with for a relatively short amount of time. It's even more complicated because you two have not taken any time apart and are engaging in behaviors that were part of your romantic re...

There is no way for me to know how this will turn out. But again, I'm not a fan of sneaking. I just want to reinforce that these are decisions that you get to make for yourself :) As you said, the guilt is making you feel bad about decisions that are yours. What seems to be standing in the way is no...

Hi celica,

Glad to hear that you practicing some self care activities. Please refer to the instructions that came with the pregnancy test. It will let you know when to take the test in order to get accurate results.

Hi Meisa, I'd like to focus on other things you've said here as oppose to your risk with sneaking. In general, I do not think sneaking to do anything is a good idea unless it's for your safety. Sneaking and lying would likely put you in a position where you would have to continue to sneak and lie wh...

no problem

When you call these organizations what are you asking or telling them? If you are calling sexual assault centers they are more than likely geared towards making sure you are not currently in a dangerous environment and helping connect you with mental health services like counseling. Are you interest...

The purpose of calling DHS is to make a report you are not safe with your mom which will help get you in your dad’s custody. Your dad or stepmom can call and tell them about all of the things you have told us here. Everything that you have said should at least qualify as an assessment. The weed, the...

If I am being honest, I can not tell you with any certainty if your mom will face any legal charges for the forced gyno visit. This is a complex situation in which your legal rights were definitely violated but, as you are seeing, many people do not know how to handle. If your goal is for your mothe...

I’m really sorry about the way you have been feeling lately. You are dealing with a lot and we are more than happy to help you in any way that we can. I know you are trying really hard to get someone to just listen and help you figure out what to do. We do want to help you but this is something that...

For me, trust is my sense of security. It's feeling safe with my partner and believing that I am a consideration in the decisions they make (in regards to our relationship). It is feeling comfortable with our relationship at all times. I think it much easier to tell if I person is not trustworthy. B...

There isn't any risk of pregnancy if someone has pre-ejaculate on their fingers. There is very small chance of pregnancy (but not likely) if someone ejaculates on their hand and rubs it on the vulva or puts their fingers in the vagina immediately following. Check this out too. It doesn't talk about ...

I'm very sorry that you were not able to find any help. It is unfortunate when services that are intended to assist fail in that respect. We want to make sure that you get support around the assault. Would you be willing to try another abuse and sexual assault center or other agencies? If you give m...

Hi michaela,

Thank you for being patient. You are correct. If the condom remained in place and there were no tears then it did it's job.

Hey Hypochondriac17,

Doesn't seem like you need to worry. Even if you are pretty regular, variation in periods is not unusual at all

Hi michaela, Welcome to the boards! We can't know for sure if there was any leaking. Did you notice any fluids outside of the condom? Using a condom when the penis is flaccid can increase the chances of it slipping off. Which you said did not happen. Also, unless there was some type of tear, fluid w...

A loose condom would slip or fall off during sex. It's possible there was not enough space at the tip of the condom for the semen. Make sure you check out the link! It describes the proper technique for putting on condoms.

Hi Hypochondriac, We can't say what is "normal" for one persons body. Is this new for you? I noticed you brought up symptoms back in NOV/DEC. Either way, It is best to check in with your healthcare provider to rule out any other health issues and/or get some assistance with managing your s...
