    Question

    hi, im 14 years old, i just had sex with this older guy and while he was going into me he said that the condom broke and he came a little in me and pulled out, does this mean im pregnant, is there a way to get birth control at my age? i really need to talk to someone. please help me.

    Answer

    Please look for a Planned Parenthood clinic near you and make an appointment for a pregnancy test, STD testing, and an exam to start on birth control (if you are going to continue being sexually active). Please continue to use condoms as well, to protect yourself from sexually transmitted infections. You did not ask for this advice, but I feel the need to offer it. The older man you are having sex with should have been more responsible and did not respect you by continuing to have unprotected sex with you. He exposed you to sexually transmitted infection and pregnancy, which suggests he does not care about your health. Good luck and I hope you are healthy and not pregnant.
