I am 19 and have decided to go on the Pill when I return to college in September. But my mother says I won't be protected for the first fortnight of taking it. Is she really right? No. When your mum was young, women used to start taking the Pill on the
I have had quite bad spots on my face since the age of 17 and it's ruining my love life. All my family say it's because I like sweets and apple pie and that I must give them up completely. Is this true? No, it isn't. Nobody has ever been able to
I've had a little bleeding recently, especially after sex. I went to a doctor and she told me I had a wart on my cervix. She said she would remove it. But I am absolutely outraged by the idea of her telling me I have a wart inside me. Surely she can't

Are those Native American ear candles any good? I have something called otitis externa and my doctor wants me to use eardrops for it. But I am wary of using any kind of drugs. The Hopi Indian ear candles are quite popular in Hove. The idea is that

I do so agree with Henry Law's views on tombstoning (Letters, July 26). It is high time Brighton and Hove City Council revised its attitude to young people and to the splendid opportunities we have living by the sea. Far from trying to stop people
What a very interesting letter from Tim Slater, the manager of the Theatre Royal from 1986 until 2002 (Letters, August 8). Although they still have very fine productions there, those mentioned during Tim Slater's time were truly excellent. I feel
As a resident of Knoll estate in Hangleton, although not a member of Church of Christ the King, I should like to thank its congregation for all they have done spiritually and practically for us during the past year. Firstly, thanks for their practical
I would like to give thanks to the congregation of the Church of Christ the King for their recent work on the Knoll, Hangleton and Moyne Close estates. Nothing was too much trouble for them and everything they did was done with a smile. They happily
How I agree with Alistair Sorrell (Letters, August 11) concerning bonfires. Garden bonfires are most infuriating, especially in summer when people are enjoying their gardens. Why do people find it necessary to set light to piles of rubbish during
Regarding V Lenihan's comments about and aerial photo of the Falmer stadium site (Letters, August 17), wouldn't it be a shame to dash the hopes of many thousands of people who are looking forward to enjoying the benefits of a community stadium

No matter what the chief executive says, I don't see how the Royal Sussex County Hospital can cope with demand if it closes 109 beds. How will that help reduce waiting times? Getting patients out faster doesn't sound like sound medical practice
My daughter recently had her tonsils out at Worthing Hospital. My only gripe is it cost £11.40 to park and she was only in 24 hours. Also, if the powers-that-be want to shut A&E, why is it being refurbished? Carole Cutts The Paddocks, Lancing
Nine people were taken to hospital this morning after a crash involving a minibus and a van. The accident happened on the A2100 London Road at St John's Cross, near Battle, shortly after 6am. All the injured were travelling in the minibus. The two people
There is an obvious way of stopping seagulls ripping open garbage bags within seconds of their being placed outside - use good, old-fashioned dustbins with metal or plastic lids and get the refuse collectors to take the bags from the dustbins
I'm sick and tired of people complaining about seagulls. In my block of flats, two old men on the top floor have done nothing but stir up trouble about these lovely birds since moving in. They are demanding netting, spikes and other deterrents
I agree with Ms Coombes (Letters, August 15). Something must be done urgently about the seagull problem in Brighton. My wife and I moved here from London last year and it's noisier than where we moved from, thanks to the everincreasing, ever-annoying
