March is National Endometriosis Month
The fact is, teens should NOT have really bad pain or cramps. And if they do, they should talk with a doctor to make sure they don’t have endometriosis
Healthy Relationships
A healthy relationship isn’t just something that you see in the movies, but something that you should want to be in.
Do You or Someone You Care About Have an Eating Disorder?
Eating disorders are a very serious emotional problem for teens. One out of every 10 teens have an eating disorder. Sometimes eating disorders start during childhood, even before the girl or boy becomes a teenager. National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is February 2/25 through 3/3
National Condom Week Begins February 14
For 25 years, National Condom Week has been celebrated in the United States to educate people about how to use condoms and why they should use them.
Fresh Focus: Sex-Ed Digital Video Contest
Was sex education at your school a total drag or did you love it? If you had your choice, would you want a personal robot tutor or an online game you could play with other teens to learn about sex and its consequences? We need to hear it from you!
Get the Message Out: World AIDS Day
As we pause to remember those lost to AIDS, let us also honor them with a renewed commitment to completely stopping the spread of HIV in the United States and around the world

National Diabetes Month: Get Tested
All teens who are overweight, eat too much sugar, or have diabetes in their family should get a test for diabetes. The test is simple, doesn't hurt, and if cost is an issue, many community clinics and even health fairs may offer testing for free or at very low cost.
National Family Sexuality Education Month
Maybe you have questions about sex but are not planning on having it for awhile. Maybe you've had or are thinking about having sex. Where ever you are in your life when it comes to your sexuality, it is important you have accurate information and support. An important source for this is a parent though sometimes parents aren't comfortable talking about sex with their children.
National Breast Cancer Month Is Also for Teens
There is no better time then October to find out about breast health! For 17 years, this month has been the time that women and men of all ages (including teenagers) take the time to learn about breast cancer, not just for themselves but also for their friends and family.
October is Oral Hygiene Month
You probably don’t want to have bad breath and decayed teeth but the sad thing is, too many teenagers teeth and gum problems!
AMICAH Project Survey Results
Today in California, the law says that teens have the right to confidential sexual health services – that means that teens ages 12 to 17 do not have to tell their parents that they go to the clinic and the clinic is not allowed to tell their parents.
Do you know how to use a condom properly
Condoms come in lots of colors and textures these days but only two things matter: They should be made of plastic or latex (which is way more reliable than animal tissue condoms) and they should fit snugly.
Stop and think
After hearing what some gay, lesbian and bisexual teens had been through, I was blown away. I felt guilty for having said "that's gay" in the past. I had thought it was OK because everyone else said it.
Questions about sex birth control pregnancy
This was my first time at a Planned Parenthood clinic. I wasn't nervous though, because I'm not embarrassed or shy when it comes to sexual health and talking about sex.
Condoms
It was the heat of the moment. It started off as harmless kissing, but neither of us could resist the temptation and before I knew it, John and I were having sex. When it had come time to think about using a condom, neither of us had been prepared.
Oral sex
Like the actual act of sexual intercourse, oral sex is a sexual act. There has been controversy in the past as to whether oral sex should be considered in the same realm of sex in the way that if you have engaged in oral sex, it means that you are no longer a virgin.
To touch or not to touch
Many people have questions about masturbation. "Is masturbating normal?" "How do you do it?" "Will it hurt?" "Will it make me sick? "Will it make me lose my hair?"
Why do girls stay in abusive relationships
Forty percent of teen girls know someone that has been hurt by partners. One third of teen boys and girls are victims of abuse.
Its my music if I say it is
My friend Tatiana Gallegos of Notre Dame High School doesn't consider race when she picks her music. "To me, music is a form of expression, so it isn't based on race. It's based on how it makes you feel," she said.
Starving for support online
Anorexia is a disorder where people diet to the point of starvation and exercise excessively to lose weight. Both diseases can be deadly.
Thinking about sex
But one of the main problems with sex is people do it for the wrong reasons-for security in the relationship. They think, 'If I have sex with this person then they will stay with me?'"
Raising a child is tough
We had been seeing each other for two years when I started feeling sick. I thought I was anemic, but the doctor said I was pregnant! I was shocked even though I shouldn't have been because my boyfriend and I never used any contraceptive methods.
