Are there any topics that you wished we talked more about on the girlshealth.gov site?
Kelsey from New York says:
You basically have everything but i was wondering could you put on your website more stuff about teenage pregnancy, STDs, HIV/AIDS, and possibly herpes so that we as teens can know what to do to avoid these things especially all sexually transmitted diseases. @girlshealth replies: we are working on updating this information. We do have information on herpes at our mother site womenshealth.gov. You can access it here: http://www.womenshealth.gov/faq/genital-herpes.cfm
Jeffrey from California says:
Hi there!
I wished that girlshealth.org would talk about homosexuality. It’s important issue, many people struggle with it. It would be nice if girlshealth talked about this topic! @girlshealth replies: we are working on updating the website with this information.

Mom from Arizona says:
My daughter is 10 and I really love this web, we really need it something like this. Thank you for this great opportunity to help and educate our girls.
anita from Indiana says:
It a great site and especially there is a lot of information about girls. I like it no matter if anyone else does or not.
Katie from Georgia says:
Are you still a virgin if you have anal sex?
Naomi from Virginia says:
Oh girls! Why do we have to face so many things like growing breasts the horrible periods and stuff! It's annoying but it's good. Women have babies and that is the best thing. I thank God for making these yet they are so horrible and uncomfortable to keep forever.
sarah from Maryland says:
I love this website and it changed me and my baby’s life. Thank you so much.
An exchange student from Tennessee says:
This is creepy. I bet this website was made by Pedobear. @girlshealth replies: Actually we are sponsored by the US DHHS Office on Women's Health http://www.womenshealth.gov/owh/about/

This website is awesome! I have it in my favorites.

Hi world, I wanted to speak I want to tell you guys something. I love how the way I am and my body shape. No one is ever going to change me. I keep it that way. I don't let no one control me never.

Paris from Missouri says:
More about Sex & Dating.
Aurelie from Illinois says:
I just switched high schools and I'm missing my old school more and more. I cry all the time because I'm not happy at my new school and I miss all of my old friends. I’ve talked to my mom and she says that there's nothing she can do. Help! @girlshealth replies: Switching schools isn’t easy. If you are suicidal, please call 911. If you are feeling really depressed, please talk to a school counselor, teacher, or a parent. It is really important to get help for yourself. We are also sending you this link about moving from our partner, kidshealth.org: http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/emotions/moving.html If you’d like to get more feedback or information, please contact us through this form: http://www.womenshealth.gov/contact/index.cfm?sawquestions=yes

chloe from Virginia says:
How do I really know if a boy likes me? Or if he knows I like him? But without sounding like a dork!
no name says:
I love this website. It has lots of great information on what girls are going through. But I think you should have a section where girls can post questions or stories and other girls can answer and comment. I really think this will help. Thanks.
Bianca says:
I love your website but maybe you could also put beauty advice or more on it and maybe fun activities for girls and stuff like that :).

More about boy relationships. Because I have a boyfriend (Conner) who says he likes me, but I don't believe him as much as I used to and this other boy (Isaac) says he likes me and I do too but I can't break up with Conner because I like them both.
Mia from South Carolina says:

Lots of girls are sexually active and we need advice on handling that emotionally as well as physically.
Anonymous says:
Too much information about violent relationships, how about loving relationships and decisions about sex with someone you love?
Anonymous says:
Why don't you have any information about birth control, condoms, etc? Get real.
keke from AF Americas (AA) says:
This website helps you learn about bullies and this is an AWESOME WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bye.
lorraine from New York says:
I love this site, it makes you feel more beautiful.
Dragon says:
I just started to check out this web site, & it pretty much has everything a teen girl needs to know about puberty.
Anonymous says:
This is a great site! Pre-teen girls can use this AND spread the word!
Ayana from Florida says:
Girls are so fragile and emotional during these years. I think girls should start telling authority as soon kids (mostly boys) make fun of our changing body.
julia from Minnesota says:
It is awesome. I can get all my answers I want.
Danielle says:
This website is great. It helps you understand how to take care of your body as a young lady. I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks
Allison from Texas says:
I love this website, but I think you need to put a little more information about sleeping. I haven't been sleeping well, and I visited your site to find out more. I only learned to not use electronics before bed, and not to avoid sunlight after waking up. I need to know, like, if there is a shampoo I can use to relax me, or if listening to soft music might help. Goodbye, from Allison
ANONYMOUS from Illinois says:
@paige from california I feel the same exact way all the time and its not fair to anyone.
3$$3nC3 from Illinois says:
I wish you guys talked a little bit more about depression and your feelings and how to deal with it because this website is helpful but some girls may not catch on to the idea.
Lia from Texas says:
I think you should talk about what we can do if we have a friend who is overweight or has other health issues and what we can do to help them.
Lindsay from Pennsylvania says:
I think that you should talk more about how to tell if someone you know is on drugs like the symptoms of each of them. Because I once had a boyfriend and there were rumors going around that he was on steroids, but when I confronted him about it he denied it and I believed him. But, as time went on his arm muscles started to get bigger. So I think it would be better if you mentioned symptoms of that on your site.
Rebekah from Alabama says:
I love this site because it gives tips on how to stand up to a bully which is something I've never been able to do.
Brena from Georgia says:
I want to know why do boys are so mean to girls but aren’t mean to other boys.....girls have feelings just like they have.
Chelsea from Pennsylvania says:
I totally love your website. I would definitely show my friends this cool and hot website!!!!!!!!!!! I think your website should not have the sections: your future, environmental health, safety, and bullying, and there should be more stuff about: your body, nutrition, and fitness.
Anonymous says:
Yes! Things like ADHD, OCD, things like that.

Can you stop your period at one period if you want to? @girlshealth replies: Please check our information on periods: http://www.girlshealth.gov/body/period/index.cfm
ramy from Arizona says:
I think your website is the best one. You should also talk about our pubic parts.
Anonymous says:
I think this site should give info on how you can talk to your parents about puberty and sex, if you are afraid to talk to them about it. I also think it is a nice site for kids going through puberty . @girlshealth replies: We do have some info on talking to your parents about sex here: http://www.girlshealth.gov/body/abstinence/talkparents.cfm
However, we are working on updating this info to address all teens. Check back in a month!

I'm 15 years old and I have a boyfriend. The problem is my mom doesnt like him so we don't get to see each other very much and I really like him. What should I do?
yayay from New Jersey says:
I think you should talk about hair.
4Girls Says:
We're glad you're interested in your hair--there are so many different things you can do to it! We have a page that talks about the right way to take care of it to keep it clean and looking great. Be sure to take a look at the "Grooming and Hygiene" page in the 4Girls "Body" section for more information!
Terri from Maryland says:
Yes, you should talk a little more about how boys treat girls and how girls treat boys. My boyfriend broke up with me because I kept making fun of him and he didn't like it. It kind of brings me down.
4Girls Says:
Breaking up with someone is hard and confusing. We talk about healthy relationships and there's a quiz you about healthy relationships! Read more about it on our "Relationships" page under "Dating."
haley from Alabama says:
about your period.
4Girls Says:
Understanding your period can be difficult. 4Girls put together a web page all about your period! Learn what your period actually is and how to deal with it. Also, learn how your period might make you feel and and some other problems. Go to the "Body" section and look under "Getting Your Period."
gena from Hawaii says:
Depression
4Girls Says:
Depression is a serious issue that effects even the youngest girls. 4Girls gives you a great check list with common symptoms of depression. Read our "Mind" section under the "Depression" link to learn more about the symptoms and treatment of depression.
Shatoya from Arizona says:
Can you please talk a little more about sex, it's hard talking to my parents about it.
Anonymous from Virginia says:
Hi,

Divorse is not an easy thing to deal with. 4Girls has a "Relationships" page that has information on how to handle relationships with your parents. This page also has some good resources for you to use about divorse and broken hearts. You can copy this link into the 'Address' section of your Internet browser to get to the page directl: http://www.4girls.gov/4girls.cfm?page=relationships/parents.htm
