    "needs a break" and etc questions
    I think that it would be a good idea for a comprhenesive set of stickies (or a single sticky), for each of the following very common questions.
    "she/he needs a break, what do i do?"
    "how do i make him/her love me?"
    "im cheating"
    "my best friend is going out with my ex"
    "hes 17 and im 12"

    I have noticed that they are incredibly common, and that it would be a good idea to place some stickies dealing with these subjects that have a clear, noticeable title, and good advice on those situations.
    e.g, people have had to tell people why it isn't a good idea to go out with someone way too old for you about a hundred times, so I reckon it's a good idea to create a sticky for that or include it in a general "FAQ Relationship questions" sticky.

    Also, "am I pregnant?"

    Yes! There should be a sticky telling you about how to know if you are pregnant, basically lists the signs/symptoms, how to find out, also with advice, and a detailed list of what options are available and things you should consider before having a child or aborting etc.

    Will these stickies mean that people can no longer ask those questions as separate topics?

    I wouldn't think so because each situation is unique.

    They would just be something for them to read to better understand, and then they post their individual specific problem for further specific advice I reckon.
    Also remember these stickies are just an idea so far, we got to wait for people to agree to put them together and make them stickies.

    Well if the stickies are just used for informational purposes, like explaining how to know if you are pregnant, then I'm all for it. I was a little hesitant because I've been to other online forums (this one is the best) where once they place a sticky, then all conversations regarding that topic must take place within the sticky, or the topic is deleted. That I don't particularly like because then the forum loses that personal touch that we all offer to each different question (even though a lot of them are similar).

    There are forums like that? Wow, that's horrible.
    I've seen forum fascism before, but nothing that horrible lolz.

    Well, when the question "am I pregnant?" is posted with no other information (age, circumstances, birth control or lack of it), it's kind of hard to look into her eyes and read into her soul.

    Actually we have some good stickys already, and to many destroys the personal touch, but the two we have are good things to read, and ask personal questions from. They are compilations of many threads.

    Hmm true, though the existing ones only talk about breaking up am I right?
