Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend and I have been together for a couple of years and having sex since fairly early on. He always uses a condom, but recently he has started wanting to use the “rhythm system” and do without on the days when we think I can’t get pregnant.
Queenie, we’re too young to have children. What can I do?—Teenage girl
Dear Teenager,
Consult your doctor for advice and possibly a prescription for birth control pills. You should have done this long ago. Condoms are not totally safe; there is always the possibility that one might leak or even break, at the worst possible moment.
