A female reader, anonymous, writes (15 June 2010):

You are of the age that if you are missing periods and the like, make an appointment with an ob/gyn doctor and get an exam. Ask your questions about pregnancy and birth control there. You also might take a trip to your local Planned Parenthood for the same information. There is no excuse for not trying to understand human reproduction especially when that responsibility still mainly falls on the woman.

src5404 agony auntUgh I hate schools that don't have sex ed, that is the worst idea ever. My boyfriend went to a high school that didn't have sex ed and when he was older and ready to have sex didn't know how to put on a condom correctly... that is an issue. Its not a schools responsibility to make the choice for the student to not have sex but to educate them in making good decisions whatever it is they decide. Failure of school systems... Sorry for the rant, I went to public school most life and then transferred to private and realized that just because they aren't taught sex ed doesn't mean they aren't having sex. Hence many girls from my graduating class are now pregnant.

okay guys thanks for your answers, and btw to some of you who said i should use a condom or wait to have sex. i am waiting. i don't believe in sex before marriage. hence why i was so worried about being pregnant. my school don't do sex education and im not really going to want to run to my mum and tell her everything. they're really strict.

src5404 agony auntIts not uncommon for girls to skip their period or be late once in a while, especially if you are really stressed. You really need to consider your knowledge about sexual activity before you go do stuff with your boyfriend. You are too young to have your life turned upside down with a baby. If you are concerned about accidents happening get put on birth control.

Sorry, I'm confused. What does going to the toilet have to do with being pregnant?

sorry, im going to be harsh here because i cannot believe that people as young as you are having sex when they clearly are not old enough and mature enough to understand the implications of their actions!!

i really think that sex education in schools needs to improve. You should not have sex until you completely understand the reprodctive system and are aware of the risks of foolish behaviour!!

your not pregnant.

i know sperm is clever stuff but they are not strong enough to swim out of his penis, out of his boxers, down his leg onto your hand and then jump from your hand into your vagina and up to fertilise an egg. that would be pretty darn extraordinary.

the only way that you could be pregnant from this is if you had any cum directly on your hands and then pretty much straight away rubbed it all over your lady garden. even then the chances would be very very slim!!

in the future, if you dont want to get pregnant....USE A CONDOM!!!
