The Complex Life | Unpuzzling Day-to-Day Challenges

Picture this: me and my girlfriend's teenage sister sat awkwardly in a room full of youths at the local sexual health clinic.

Funny old situation isn't it? Well, it wasn't too bad actually. My girlfriend's sister wanted some advice, but my girlfriend couldn't go with her so I volunteered - I'm a nice guy like that and I have a pretty good relationship with her sis.

The scariest thing about the whole experience was the actual clinic itself, all the posters on the wall and leaflets everywhere! STDs! Teen Pregnancy! Genital warts treatment! Gonorrhea!

It was scary for someone my age, let alone a teenager looking for some advice.

I did feel like I learnt a bit from staring at the walls in the waiting room though, and sexual health is a really important. Hopefully my girlfriend's sister got all the information she needs, but I grabbed a few extra leaflets just in case.
