Hi, my name is Cat and I'm 22 years old. I live in various cities in the UK since the city where I study and where my family live are different. I'm currently just out of a relationship and enjoying the single life for a while. I don't know that I am qualified to help people but I'd like to try. I've had a lot of experiences in my life and despite being quite young I'm always helping my friends with their problems. I'd like the chance to help all of you too. Feel free to private message me anytime.If you do however, please include some details of your problem as I answer a lot here and can't always remember specific problems. With big hugs, Cat xx

A.   22 May 2007: Can I act on a hunch here and guess that your ex from 2.5 years ago was the first guy you were ever in love with? I'm not sure anyone ever lives up to the very first love you experience because not only is it love, which is pretty amazing,... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2007: Yeah this is totally normal. The morning after pill can make your period up to a week late or even early but if it's too early or late it's a good idea to check with your local pharmacy or doctor just to be sure. I'm sure you're fine but obviously ... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2007: I wouldn't say anything. I don't understand the friend's logic of telling you she didn't like your girlfriend at all. Obviously you'd want to tell her. The thing is I think that if you tell her she'll just end up feeling bad and sad and hurt whereas ... (read in full...)

A.   21 May 2007: Yes... if you have unprotected sex then it's possible to become pregnant whether you come or not. You seem to be really confused about even the basics of sex and I really advise finding a sex ed book to read up about it. Pee doesn't have any effect ... (read in full...)

A.   19 May 2007: Some guys find loud girls a turn on, others don't. Ask him if the noise bothers him, my guess is that as long as he's getting some he doesn't much care if you whisper or scream but I'm not him. Ask him and if you want to change then change but never ... (read in full...)

A.   19 May 2007: You're not being hypocritical. For a start the situation would be a lot different if she was even 16 but she's not, she's legally still a child. Plus, doesn't it seem kind of creepy and wrong to you that an adult would *want* to date a child? I ... (read in full...)

A.   16 May 2007: I'm not surprised he reacted negatively to the idea of having a girlfriend like he did because his bad experience probably made him lump all women together as being as bad as each other and he took that out on you. I don't think he's over that pain ... (read in full...)
