I have been asking questions on here for a week, and on my last question I got a few mean answers, did it ever occur to anyone to be nice? I was just trying to make positive im not pregnant, and some people were helpful and some were sarcastic and mean. Is that really needed?

I agree that this is a problem. The only thing you can do is report abuse.

I think it is very difficult to determine if someone is being mean to you or if they are telling you the truth and being direct about it. I tend to be more honest and direct and don't beat around the bush. But when you type there is no real way to make the distinction. People tend to get frustrated over different topics easily I will agree on that. And it is mostly in this chat topic.
People come in here and say I had unprotected sex, aren't on BC and have missed my period for a week. Of course people are going to fly off the handle when asked "Am I pregnant?" Its like asking is the sky blue. And then when people respond to this they tend to be a little sarcastic and direct b/c to most its obvious what the next step would be. They think "why would this person take the time to bother with this stupid site?". Just take the matter into your own hands take a pregnancy test, and use protection that's what it is there for. And people take this as "being mean" when in fact its the truth and its not what you wanted to hear, So you call them mean and report them.
Its a never ending cycle that will never cease on this site. What people dont realize is that there are others out there in different states and countries that dont live in metropolis type environments, arent in the limelight and in heavy mainstream so they have a tendency to be more neive than others. And like I said before when they ask these questions that most of us look at as "stupid questions" they are being serious and really want an answer. ITs a no win situation.
The only thing you can do when asking a question is tp take the responses with a grain of salt. People are of different backgrounds, educations and intelligences and you cannot feel hurt by their comments. Some are out of line adn those you can spot easily but what you may think is rude and mean really is the temperment of that individual!

I will reply with what's on my mind. Am I mean? No, but the person I am replying to may think so if the answer I give is not something they wanted to hear. If you can't take somone's opinion good or bad, then don't ask for it. I hate the "could I be pregnant questions", like someone is holding a crystal ball and can answer that for you. Take a test for crying out loud, that is the only way you are going to find out! You won't get the answer to that question on Yahoo. (When I say you, I don't mean YOU, I am speaking in general.)

Unfortunately, there are hundreds of questions every day in the "am i pregnant or not" category, and while that doesn't make it nice to be mean, people tend to tell you the obvious in one way or the other: ask your doctor, get birth control, get fertility treatments, etc etc . but invariably, most women do know what to do ,which is see a doctor. because it's such a common question with obvious answers people tend to be even meaner in this category than the religious/anti-religious categories. Just remember, almost anytime you ask a question you are opening yourself up to ALL kinds of people... take the good, ignore the bad. and get to a doctor when in doubt.
and i read your previous question and it sounds like you would be relieved to find out you'd gotten your period.. i for one, am happy for you.

I don't think people need to be mean. I think that to some people this is just a game and a way to have fun...
I think it's fun, but some of the people on here are asking questions because they don't know who else to talk to and would like to find some serious awnsers. I try to be as honest as I can and help people out... Take Heart!

Sorry, people are so mean. However, we are not doctor we can't tell you if you are pregnant or not all we can do is speculate. You can't make positive you are not pregnant by asking us. You need to see a doctor or take a test if you haven't. I hope you find the answer you are looking for though. Take care.

In every public web forum there are what have come to be known as Trolls:People with low IQs or no friends who think saying nasty things to strangers in anonymity is the only form of entertainment they can afford. Just ignore them and be glad there are a few people left who can actually carry on a conversation.

everyone is entitled to their own opinions and people don't know how to keep their mouths shut. That's how life is, saying like I got my daughter's ear's pierced, people say it's mutilating my daughter, or if I try to buy a harness someone has to say something. My daughter's ear's were pierced for tradition, and the harness is to save the life of my son if he runs off and I can't run after him, because I have a 6 month old. No one can ever understand, that's why there is hate in the world, because people are stuck in their ways

I totally agree a lot of people act as if they are better than you if you ask a honest question that you would like help with not to be insulted. Everyone has problems some people are just more open and honest.

It's uncalled for yes, but it's going to happen. It happens to everybody and when you get this many people with this many opinions, it's impossible to have everyone be nice. I'm sorry you experienced this, but I had something the same, I posted a comment about pregnancy and infant loss rememberance day and had it removed by Yahoo because some woman thought it was inappropriate for people to remember their lost baby's. Peopl are cruel by nature, but don't let it get you.
