Birth Control Pills

I agree. And considering the situation, I hope the pill works. Plus, bloodysunset, once you do get old enough to want to be on the pill for *ahem* other reasons, you won't have to hide it from your parents (assuming that you wouldn't want to share this info, but I would advise it is good for at least one parent to know if you are sexually active. Not always possible though )

All this talk about birth control and being sexually active is making me hot.

Scaring and cystic acne are not diet related. Perhaps you need to read more books.

yeah my bro had bad acne when he was younger but it just went away as he got older. but if you find something that helps control it and doesn't have bad side effects i say go for it. bad acne can really do harm to a person's self esteem, especially in school.

as to the opinion thing, it's fine to post your opinion even when it's contrary to other people's opinions, but when you say them in a way that implies everyone else is poorly informed and your opinion is the only correct one, that's just gonna pick a fight. say what you think but consider how your wording will come across to other people. suggesting others need to read more because they disagree with you isn't a good way to make friends

Yeah, one more off-topic post, 'cause I've been irritated by the majority of quality1's posts since joining two days ago. They have primarily been arrogant (especially for a 19 year-old) and unsupportive. For instance, I've seen the response "who cares?" in at least two threads. Wow. Thanks for your tremendous insight and support.

If you want to participate in a forum, particularly in the support section, you'd do well to check your attitude at the door. You'll find plenty of conflict in the debate threads, believe me.

And, aksjg, I think you're great. I mean it. You have some great posts, and I disagree with you sometimes, but I don't jump down your throat. I get annoyed when you and others you argue with become somewhat petty and reactionary in your interactions, but I think you're taking something and making it too personal. So people disagree with you. Big deal. You disagree with them. If you're in the minority, there's nothing anyone can do about that. Most people here have their minds made up about a lot of things, though I still see some open-mindedness. I would prefer certain other posters here were a bit "nicer." But, heck, people have requested that I be nicer, and I go out of my way to be nice and avoid saying things that are hurtful, so sometimes you have to just roll with it.

Let me just say that there's a world of difference between you disagreeing with a majority, and quality1 coming in here and spouting off the way he/she (I'm going to go female until told differently) has in the last two days. Actually, her first two posts in this thread were quite reasonable. One may object to her advice (I do), but that's a matter of opinion. Take it or leave it. I certainly think the response to that opinion was light-hearted (hence the wink), but I can see how it would be taken as an insult ("maybe you need to read more books"). It was the third post, the insulting response to Krista's that went way overboard. Let's chill it all out. There's no reason for anyone here to make personal judgments about other people here, at least publicly.

Um, so I'll turn things back over to the moderator and the ladies again.
