This is a really important question! Everyone has the right to find the most appropriate confidant, because we are not all the same! This explains why some girls speak with their best friends, while others speak with their mothers with whom they have a special relationship. Others speak with their aunts, an older sister or another adult whom they trust. But even outside of your family or circle of friends (who often may have the same doubts and have no answers), there are many others who can be of help based on the environment in which you live. Perhaps a teacher with whom you have a good relationship or a trainer if you’re into sports. Perhaps a nun or a priest if you attend church, or a gynecologist from the women’s health center if you prefer someone more professional. The important thing is that the person in whom you decide to confide is open to dialogue, is understanding, sensitive and willing to spend the time to really understand you and what you’re telling them. Once you have confided your thoughts you should feel reassured and enriched. Don’t be afraid or scared to ask. It’s better to ask one more question that may seem stupid than to make a mistake that can affect your life and that of those around you.
