Dating

The point of dating someone has been forgotten among our generation. People seem to forget that dating is not meant to work out. It's meant to be messy. You're supposed to make mistakes. These mistakes are so you can learn. So that you can grow and become a better person. They are also designed to show you the red flags. So that you don't waste time on someone who is going nowhere. The point of dating is so that when you find that person. The one who makes your heart soar. You can recognize them instead of throwing away what you've been looking for your whole life. Fuck the hook up culture I'm looking for a partner in crime. #fuckTheHookUpCulture #loveIsForever

Birth Control~

Most people believe that condoms are 100% effective, but that's not completely true.

NO CONDOM PREVENTS PREGNANCY OR SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES (STDs) 100% OF THE TIME.

The estimated typical pregnancy rate among condom users in the US is about 14 per 100 women. That means condoms are about 86% effective.

The only way to completely avoid pregnancy is abstinence.

The only 100% effective way of not getting an STD is abstinence.

Birth control is about 98% effective if it is taken correctly (emphasis on the "IF"), but there is still a 2% chance of pregnancy.

Birth control pills are 90-95 percent effective when pills are missed or taken at a different time each day.

The effectiveness of the pill is lowered when taken with several medications, including most antibiotics, anti-seizure medications, tuberculosis medication including INH, and migraine medications.

Talk to your physician or a gynecologist about taking birth control, if you're truly considering having sex.

Birth control can also help with other issues like moderate to severe acne.

NuvaRing® is also a newly popular type of contraceptive. It's effectiveness has fallen to approximately 92%. That means there is around an 8% chance of pregnancy when this product is used.

Reminder: None of these options can help someone avoid pregnancy and STDs except for abstinence.
