Dear Poll: Do You Use Backup Birth Control?
We all know by now that no form of birth control is 100 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. If you use your method properly though, your chance of an accidental pregnancy decreases, although that one percent is just too risky for some.
After reading the comments from yesterday's quiz on vaginal contraceptive film, I noticed that some of you use it as backup to the pill.
You Asked: I'm Scared Every Day
Dear Sugar,
My father is a firefighter, and I grew up with the mentality that I needed to tell my dad I loved him every single time he went to work. When my parents divorced things changed, and since I no longer live with him or my mom, I don't get nervous every time he goes to work anymore. However, my brother just graduated from the police academy in Cleveland.

Handle This: Followed Home
Walking home from a friend’s house late on a Thursday night, you notice a man hovering about a block behind you. He seems to be minding his own business, so you try not to worry and instead, focus on getting home quickly. However in just a few minutes he’s only 20 feet behind you.
Crimes of Carelessness
The mock safety vid below was made to look and sound like a real 1950s PSA, but it's really the work of Weird Al Yankovic— no surprise there. His "exclusive" interviews with high-profile celebs are always the product of excerpts extracted from other, more legit, interviews. They're totally fake, but always funny.
Are Taser Parties Too Much?
As women, it's important that we think about safety, particularly those of us who live in cities. A lot of women I know carry pepper spray in their purses, while others go so far as to take self-defense classes. But I was a little shocked when I heard about Shieldher, a company offering "Taser parties" — sort of like Tupperware parties, except at these home gatherings, women learn about and shop for Taser-brand stun guns.
Dear Poll: Have You Ever Had a Stalker?
I feel like we hear about a new celebrity being stalked on a weekly basis. Of course, the paparazzi fuel the fire, exposing celebrities' personal lives to the masses, but the stalkers we hear about in the news take things to a different, very scary level: following them, hiding out in their backyards, digging through their trash, even breaking and entering their homes.
I have been lucky enough to have never been stalked myself, but I know many women who have, so even if it were on a much smaller scale than these celebrities, what I want to know is: Have you ever been stalked?
Bicycle Safety Sam is an Attention Wh*re
The following are the ending credits of a bicycle safety video for children. I don't know who Sam is, but I know he's got a helmet and he ain't afraid to wear it on his way home, bike or no bike. He also has a funny way of making an exit.
