Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Be careful meeting people you met online. No matter how much you talk to someone online, you don't really know them as well as you think you do. Please make sure a trusted adult knows where you are, who you're with, and what you're doing.
Condoms are important but they should never be your only method of birth control. Ideally you combine different methods (i.e. condoms + iud or hormonal birth control) so that if one fails, the other will be likely to work.
If your parents won't let you get birth control, in many countries there are government agencies or NGOs who will provide birth control to you for free.
