Hi lucky222,

I’m sorry sweetie, teens below the age of 18 aren’t allowed to post on this board.

This post was written a few months ago by Cl-judie_rae and Cl-marrymeflyfree for the Birth Control Board but it applies here as well. It looks as though it’s time to post it again.

It is iVillage policy, as a private organization, to not allow posting on sexually-related boards to members who are under the legal age for sexual activity in most states. While some states allow teenagers under 18 to have sex, the state of New York, which is where the home office is, does not, and in some cases we could be helping teenagers break the law. Whether we agree with it or not, that's the policy and as members we have agreed to abide by it. The first resource for teens, whether we like or agree with it or not, should really be their parents and physicians, not a group of strangers.

We do refer teens to more age-appropriate sites: www.teenwire.com is a very good site for teens that is run by Planned Parenthood. www.cosmogirl.com and www.bolt.com are also on our list of sites recommended for teens. Two other sites http://www.scarleteen.com/ and http://www.gurl.com/ are pretty good.

Even though teens can't post here, we can't stop them (or anyone else) from reading the vast quantities of information that we do provide. For most people's questions, the answers are here, all it takes is a little looking.

Your best friends are giving you good advice. What you want to do can get you and your BF in a world of trouble. Please talk with your parents and doctor about your feelings.

Good luck and hugs

      Jill
