Thanks so much to everyone who has been pitching in with our current fundraising drive. We’re getting awfully close to our goal – to the minimum we need to raise to avoid any shutdowns – and we could not be more appreciative and excited. Thank you! During the last couple months, we’ve had quite a…

If you’re in an abusive relationship, to make abuse stop you’ve got to get away and stay away. Here’s help to do that safely, and to be as safe as you can before leaving.

You cannot become pregnant when you have pants or other kinds of clothing on that covers your genitals. No, seriously, listen up: YOU CANNOT BECOME PREGNANT WHEN YOU HAVE PANTS ON. No, not even JUST you but no one else, because you think you are some kind of one-in-a-million-something-or-other…

As you may have read a few weeks ago, we are in dire straits when it comes to sustaining all that we do here at Scarleteen, and need more support to do so now. Since we put out that call, we’ve raised around half of what we need to keep doing all we currently do, thanks to a few hundred generous…

“AND OMFG I WAS OVULATING, TOO!!!!!!!” This sentence is becoming familiar to us. More young people seem to be developing some new knowledge about fertility cycles. I think that’s great. Well, kind of great. Thing is, lots of the information you’re getting, or think you have, is often dodgy, only half the picture, or just flat-out wrong.

Everything you’ll probably ever need to know about safer sex barriers, like which to use, how to use them, how to get more comfortable with them, and how surprisingly cute they are.

Some people struggle with strong pregnancy fears when there isn’t a pregnancy or hasn’t even been any real risk of pregnancy. What’s that really about, and how can you move forward?
