Why do people on here try to put other people down?

Unfortunately, it looks like a lot of people just don’t seem to know how to be polite anymore. Sometimes, people feel they have no way to respond besides writing something nasty.

The reality is that, yes, sometimes some members need a reality check. There’s a number if people who post here asking if they could be pregnant on here, and it seems so pointless- it’s not like we can give an informative diagnosis, because a lot of us aren’t doctors. A number of us point these users in the direction of a family planning clinic to take a pregnancy test. As stephanief987 has pointed out, any name calling or nastiness should be reported to admin like ‘thedude’ or ‘editor’.

Of course, young people are going to have questions about sex. But it’s more a matter of presenting the information in a clear consise way, as well as knowing when it should probably be held back a bit. Call me judgemental, but I find it really sad when kids are voluntarily having intercourse at the age of 14, and I’m careful about how much info I give them, and the type of info. I tend to think from the perspective of imagining I have a 14 year old brother or sister- how much would I be prepared to tell them? I’m certainly not going to be giving a blow-by-blow recount of the contents of the Kama Sutra. I’m more likely to re-iterate the basics, and explain the importance of contraception. I know we can’t wrap these kids in cotton wool, because if they want to try something new, they’ll try it, no matter how much they’re told not to. It’s more important we inform them on the important stuff.

yeah I argee with you a hundred percent an I don’t understand why people put people down on these sites but it is wrong an it needs to STOP!!!

this site is for giving advice, not for you to post your own little dr phil session.

WELL YU SUD OLNY GIVE POSSTIVE ADVICE BUT I AGREE THEY CAN CUSH someone ON HEA !![[Mrz.J0neS]]!!

I agree with both arguments here. there are kids on here asking 20 difefrent questions about wether they are pregnant or not and then asking what symptoms of pregnancy are and then go on to say I have these symptoms do you think im pregnant. those ones drive me nuts. I wouldnt bag them tho. if someone does ask for advise like with a tell me what you really think question I always tell the truth. they want to hear it or they shouldnt really ask.
