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: 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: How soon after unprotected sex can I have an STI test? A: Two weeks after unprotected sex.

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.

Q: I think I need to talk to someone but I don�t know what about. Can I still come in to talk? A: Yes you can, every young person is welcome at the Corner, even if they are unsure what they want to discuss. Come in and you can have a chat. One of the things we do is help you to get your priorities in order.

Q: I have no money for food and I don�t get my benefits for another week. Can you help me? A: You can come in and discuss your situation with a worker. They will explore your options and support you to access services that can help you.
