1. When can I have sex?

Sex is a crucial topic and it must be taken seriously. Before you even consider having sex, think about the consequences that can occur because of sex. To many the right time to have sex is after marriage, which is usually the answer you'll receive. But the right time to have sex is when you feel like you are ready and you know what will result in you having sex.  Another thing to consider is with whom you will share this moment. The person has to be ready as well and you need to make sure that you trust and truly love the person because you don't just want to loose your virginity to anyone.  Being able to talk about these issues with a potential partner is essential and a crucial step before any action is taken.

2. I’m having trouble with one of my teachers, what should I do?

There are going to be times that you don't like a teacher, but the way you handle the situation always depends on the reason. If it’s because the teacher gives too much homework and classwork, then she’s actually helping you for the future. In college you will get more homework and classwork than you have here in school. However if it goes on a more personal level you should probably talk to Laura and the teacher together to see if something can be done, or you can discuss the matter with another teacher you trust. Remember, however, not liking an individual teacher is not an excuse to act inappropriately in class and sabotage your own academic performance.
