Q: How soon can I have a pregnancy test done if I have had unprotected sex? A: Three weeks after unprotected sex.

Q: I don't have any symptoms of an STI, should I still get tested? A: Yes, symptoms of STIs can be silent so even if you have no signs it is important to get checked out just to make sure.

Q: If I tell you I self harm will you try to put me in hospital? A: We will not put you in hospital; however we will work with other services to make sure you get the best care possible. Self harm is a way of coping with troubles, not the most positive or constructive, but we would never force you to do anything.

Q: Who will you tell about my visit to The Corner? A: The Corner is a confidential service, which means details of your visit will not be shared with anyone else, regardless of your age. Staff may need to share information outwith the Corner only if there are serious concerns about you or another young persons safety or wellbeing. You will always be kept fully informed if information needs to be shared with anyone else.

Q: My friends are taking drugs and I feel under pressure to take them, but I don�t want to. What can I do? A: It is really up to what you decide. Sometimes it is hard to say no to friends as you may be scared that they will laugh at you or start to leave you out. But it is your decision, for support on how to handle this, come in and talk. This sounds like a really difficult situation you are in. You are more than welcome to discuss your feelings with a Corner worker, and build your confidence in order to do what is right for you.
