Scarleteen does so much good! Help them out!
Reporting in from the fundraising trenches! We still haven’t yet even reached 20% of our very necessary goal. Can you help spread the word, pitch in a little cash, or both? Anything you can do to help us keep our doors open is deeply appreciated! Thank you! www.classy.org/campaign/sup...

Scarleteen remains undefeated
More young people are turning to AI chatbots for flirting, late-night talks, and “perfect” partners who never leave them on read. Cute trend or red flag? @armarshwriter.bsky.social weighs in on the risks, realities, and safer alternatives to AI chatbots here:

Young people frequently come to us with questions about their bodies. The real humans at Scarleteen — many of us trans, queer, disabled and/or BIPOC — are here for them to answer with care. From our thousands of articles and resources to our expert-staffed direct services, we’re here to help out! 💓

PS: on an only slightly related "parenting and harm reduction" topic: if you don't already know about it, with her being 14, I'd absolutely recommend you pointing her at Scarleteen (www.scarleteen.com).

Have you EVER visited or used Scarleteen over the past 26 years? You might recognize the taglines “Sex ed for the real world” or “queer sex ed for all since 1998. If yes, are you 18 or older?

At this point Scarleteen is intergenerational. We have parents who grew up at Scarleteen sending their kids to Scarleteen! Help us serve the next generation, and stay a safe, supportive landing place for people who are often isolated and scared.

Scarleteen is a fucking treasure.
Happy National Orgasm Day from Scarleteen! Through almost 27 years of doing sex ed, we’ve talked a lot about orgasms and sexual pleasure here at Scarleteen. If you're keen on celebration, this thread is a short selection from our site that you may want to explore.

Scarleteen remains undefeated in the clear and concise sex ed department
Seen people talking about “sex addiction” and “porn addiction"? These are not real medical diagnoses.

Dr. Amy Marsh explains, with information for people who are concerned about the role of sex and porn in their lives. www.scarleteen.com/read/sex-s...

Anyways, I highly recommend scarleteen. Lots of great advice about sexual health, and done in a way that makes younger folks feel comfortable

However you if live in Kentucky (or really anywhere in the south), get a VPN first

Money burning a hole in your pocket? Please consider supporting Scarleteen, the one and only comprehensive, inclusive sex ed site that's been going for 25 YEARS! Scarleteen has benefited generations of youth and in a pretty shitty moment for LGBTQ youth, and anyone who needs sex ed (everyone!)....

Scarleteen is one of the absolute best things that still remains of the internet I grew up on
A reminder that I'm raising $4k to support @scarleteen.com's staff and volunteer health fund to ensure that sex educators doing some of the BEST sex ed around are able to access health care. In an era of misinfo where most kids don't even get the most basic in school, Scarleteen is critical.

This situation is getting even worse because of the proliferation of generative AI, which scrapes sites (including Scarleteen) and vomits up garbage and sometimes actively dangerous responses. A lot of users are coming in with truly wild and horrific misinformation. Scarleteen is all people, not AI!
March 31, 2026 at 2:10 PM
Scarleteen is, has been, and always will be 100% people powered! Never AI, no way, no how, only real articles written by real humans, and real direct services provided by real people without bots or other automations. Here’s a promise from us: we never have been and never will be AI.

Freelance comrades! Scarleteen is looking for writers to cover a range of topics: If you're a person versed in sexuality and relationships and advocating with young people, I'd be interested in working with you: sesmith at scarleteen dot com. More info below, and on our Write for us page.
Write for us!
Creating and publishing some of the best content for young people about sex, sexuality, relationships and identities there is is what we do here. Diversity of voices and perspectives is also important...

Young people are having an extremely hard time right now and they come to Scarleteen with AI misinformation, pregnancy scares, and terror as the state closes in around them. Sex ed is about caring for the whole person and that’s what Scarleteen excels at.

Scarleteen and Planned Parenthood are my primary research spots when I work on a sex education comic. When you learn something from one of my @ohjoysextoy.bsky.social comics, that's info they provided first. As a nonprofit, Scarleteen needs our help to stay live.
