The good doctor talks about how he got into adolescent health and his various experiences working in such an intense field.

Dr. Drew, As I was watching the season finale of "16 and pregnant" while breastfeeding my son, I could not believe your irresponsible response to the question "why didn't any of you choose to breastfeed your baby". You gave the impression to viewers that breastfeeding is difficult, hurts, baby doesn't always cooperate, and that it's not as lovely as it may appear to be. As a Dr. and tv personality that has a huge impact on thousands of viewers that was extremely irresponsible of you! I breastfed my daughter for almost 2 years and I plan on doing the same for my son. It is as lovely and wonderful as it appears! Yes, the first week or so it can be difficult, but once you get past that it is the most unbelievably amazing bond you will ever have and that's how you should have answered that! Plus it is so much better for baby's immune system, etc. I wonder how many mothers may be discouraged from breastfeeding now that you said that. I have always been a fan of yours dr. drew, but I am very dissappointed and I hope you will address this issue publicly for mothers and babies everywhere. Jacquelyn
Dr. Drew: When the women were asked by an audience member during the wrap of Sixteen and Pregnant, why they all chose to formula feed their babies, you fed into an erroneous stereotype, by jumping in and saying "it hurts"....SHAME ON YOU! You should know better. Nursing doesn't hurt. Hurting is a sign of an improper latch and should be a prompt for a new mommy to reach out and contact a lactation consultant or llli.org (for LaLeche League, a members run organization around since the 1950's Dr. Drew)....The engorgement described by several o f the gals is caused by not nursing enough in the early days of life for their children....remember no bottles and no pacifiers the first several weeks (four to six is recommended) to establish good breast milk supply. Seriously, nursing is the BEST thing a woman can do for her child and this show and you are reaching an entire generation of women that need to know breastfeeding is best medically, cheapest economically and emotionally very very bonding for mom and baby.....Dr. Drew, please, try to get a young woman who will nurse her child on the show for next season....it will do wonders to set the record straight.....
Dear Dr. Drew, This guy and I have been dating on and off for the last eight years, since I was 13. He has gone to juvie, jail, and prison and I have stuck by him because I love him but I'm not really sure what to do anymore. I don't trust him and I don't know how we can work our relationship out if that trust isn't there. Some of the reasons I don't trust him are because recently I found out that he was lying to me and trying to hide things from me. I really need some expert advice on the situation because I am trying to decide whether to give him one last chance or to just try to move on. Please Help! I have given him so many chances and he just continually screws them up. I think its time to just cut my losses and move on. Any thoughts?
but i most say your shows do help me.. i did two of your projects by myself to see want kind of answer would i get. that help me alot. it taught me that i need to slow down with the sex because i could catch something and i take it back so yea i wanna say thank you for that.
hi dr. drew i'm 18 and i like sex alot but i'm also bisexual and i don't think my mom takes that very well. alot of my friends are and i want my mom to accept the fact that i am. and another thing me and my boyfriend we have sex alot like every time we near each other.. i wanna say he likes me alot he treats me good i met his family but for some reason we always have sex with each other. and i would like for that to stop and for my mom to accept who i am and not judge me. want should i do?
hi dr. drew. my name is sabrina an i'm 18. i'm a virgin and a lot of my friends aren't. its not like they push me into having sex, but the way they talk about it, i mean of course i'm going to wonder. right? i've been with my boyfriend for 6 months now and we are crazy about each other. and just the other day, he asked me about having sex with him. and i know he wants to do it with me because he cares about me. and i'm not just saying that. he is 20 years old and is a virgin too..which i was so happy about when i met him. because it's hard to find a guy out there who's a virgin and that old. well, he has been with girls in the past but only been together with them for i'd say a few months. i'm his first girlfriend..and for him to finally come out and ask me about having sex with him, i'm scared, but at the same time i feel honored. when he asked me, the first thing that came to my mind was "wow, he really does care about me" because he has a problem showing his affection towards me. like he can't spill out his emotions easily. well anyways, my friends always tell me, "sabrina, what are you afraid of? nothing is going to happen, just use a condom and you'll be fine!" but for some reason i guess i'm just over thinking it too much. i don't know but i feel like if i do it, something is going to happen. i always hear about those rumors when the condom rips and i don't know, i am just so scared something is going to happen. if i do have sex with him, id probably use like 2 condoms, and take birth control pills and buy that new thing out in the market called PLAN B. and if something does happen GOD FORBID, my parents would probably disown me. the reason they don't want me to have sex before marriage is not so much about our catholic religion, but they feel that i should do it for the first time with the guy i know i am going to spend the rest of my life with. but the thing is, i don't think they know how hard it is to stay a virgin. especially when u are so close to a guy ur going out with for 6 months. i don't know how i do it, but i feel like sooner or later, i won't be able to hold on anymore. i need your help dr. drew. i am in DESPERATE NEED for your help. please email me at sabrii23@aol.com. thanks

Dr. Drew, Mine name is Hannah I watch your show every chance I get, I think it's very educational for teens and parents. I have this friend who is still a virgin she is 21 years of age, Is with this guy they have only been dating a month. Recently he asked her to marry him, Then for her 21st b-day he wanted 2 take her to Victoria's Secret but her one friend talked her out of it. My question for is do you think maybe he just wants to get her in bed??? I've all ready told her how I felt along with some others and she just got mad saying it's her life, she will do what she wants with it. I understand she right, it is her life but it don't hurt do listen to what some have to say. She hasn't been to many relationships so he does not know what to look for to see if the guy is playing her, that worries me. She just changed since she been with him and I just want some help on what may be going on. Thanks
Dr. Drew, I need your help!! Next year my 10 year old daughter starts middle school, in the town we live in middle and high school students ride the same bus together. Now while I have been open about the female reproductive system and that boys and girls are different I worry about the type of "talk" she will hear while on the bus with older kids. I wouldn't call my daughter sheltered but she is very innocent about certain aspects of sex. Some of my friends and co-workers believe that I should have "the talk" with her but I don't want to take away any innocence that she still has. My question is in your professional opion when is the right time to talk with your child. I know that all children and situations are different but I want to be the person to talk with her about it not some sixteen year old!! I don't want to say to much to her to early or not enough and find out one day that it is to late to educate her properly. HELP!!
dear dr. drew, i watch your show alot, and i noticed that at the end you stated the sex is always your choice no matter what. unfortunately that is inaccurate. less than four months ago, a friend of mine was raped by another friend and has been seeing a psychiatrist. she has been diagnosed with ptsd, post traumatic stress disorder. the guy who raped her took her virginity and she said no more than a dozen times. in recent research, i've come to the realization that one in every three girls has been sexually assaulted and it happens more in a home by a friend than the stereotypical on the street by a stranger. i think it's important for girls to know more about ****, and know that unfortunately they can be forced to have sex. i think it's important that girls learn how to prevent this from happening and become more informed about the facts rather than myths.
Hi, my name is Carolyn. I'm 17, and i've been watching your show since it first started. The episodes are interesting to me especially because there's one in which is related to my situation. I have friends who have had sexual intercourse and they always tell me about it. So, i've been anxious to know what it feels like to have it for the first time, and i'm afraid to lose it although i feel like i'm ready. My mom never speaks to me about sex and i never dare myself to ask her a question about it...how can i speak to my mom about it, and how i feel about it? send me an E-mail @ ButterflyEye07@aol.com. Thanks
