Q: My friends are taking drugs and I feel under pressure to take them, but I don�t want to. What can I do? A: It is really up to what you decide. Sometimes it is hard to say no to friends as you may be scared that they will laugh at you or start to leave you out. But it is your decision, for support on how to handle this, come in and talk. This sounds like a really difficult situation you are in. You are more than welcome to discuss your feelings with a Corner worker, and build your confidence in order to do what is right for you.

Q: How soon can I have a pregnancy test done if I have had unprotected sex? A: Three weeks after unprotected sex.

Q: Can I get pregnant on my period? A: Although this is unlikely there is still a chance of getting pregnant so it is important to use a form of contraception such as condoms.

Q: If I tell you I self harm will you try to put me in hospital? A: We will not put you in hospital; however we will work with other services to make sure you get the best care possible.

Q: How soon after unprotected sex can I have an STI test? A: Two weeks after unprotected sex.

Q: Can I get pregnant even if I haven�t started my period yet? A: Yes there is a chance of pregnancy so it is important to use protection if you are planning to or are having sex.
