Dear Readers,

Go Ask Alice! would not be what it is had it not been for all of you, its readers. Without you, no questions would be asked, no Q&As would be browsed and read, no feedback/comments would be submitted, no site would remain in publication. In recognition of GAA!'s readership, which helps keep the site going so that it can continue to serve as a resource of health information, Alice! would like to share some kudos from her readers with her readers.

Thank you,

Alice

p.s.: Go Ask Alice! has also received considerable media attention and applause over the years. Click here to view some of the recent press.

"I love you, Alice, whoever you are, for answering questions and addressing subjects that some people can't even talk about. I also deeply appreciate your warm responses to those who have very delicate issues and intense problems. You are something that I hope to aspire to be — someone who can help others, who can touch others, and who can help create a better individual, community, and world."

"This isn't a question, more of a thank you for your website and support. I'm a 14 yr old boy and had a medical question/problem. I needed to know if I had to tell my parents and seek medical help. I found the answer in your 'sexual health' section under 'pressure on testicles' and 'blood in semen' so I think it would be in my best interest to get that help, so tonight I will tell my dad. I'm really scared of what the docs will say but oh well. I really appreciate what you have done for so many people and me. Thank you."

"I am a Pastor. Theologically, I am conservative and wince at some of the answers in the areas of sexuality. But, that is my issue. Most of the folks that I minister to (18 - 25 years of age) are looking for options; that you offer. I will recommend your site to my counselees."

"Thanks for being so on target with the "questions" you select to answer, and for being so accurate and sincere in your information and analysis. To whomever you consist of, and your "staff." Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!!!!"

"Thanks, and I have to say that I find your service extremely helpful, and regarding any criticism saying that it's 'unhealthy' for kids, I'd have to say that NOT knowing about their bodies, sexuality, and mental health is much more dangerous than KNOWING could ever be! (I'm sure that if I had proper sex education I wouldn't even need to write this question)."

"I am the guy who posed the question about my friend cutting me off (alone on Amsterdam Ave.) I just want you to know that your response really has made me feel better — well, somewhat at least — about this whole situation. I really appreciate it. Thank you very much indeed."

"I really became happy to see that in other countries, you teach the people the things that are necessary. I live in Iran. The People do not explain what is needed for life. They think that speaking about these things is trouble and they think correctly. I really thank all the people that have made this site. I have never tried relationship or kissing or stuff like that, as a matter of fact Islam has banned it. Really, I see you live in another world. You can't imagine the difference between us. At last I would kiss the hands of all the people that have constructed this site. Bye, Mostafa, a student who is living in Iran."

"As a graduate of Columbia College, I have found the Core Curriculum to be of life-long value, for which I have remained appreciative.

But, 'Go Ask Alice!' on Columbia's web site — its quality and candor and caring — to my mind (and body) rival, if not exceed, the Core in terms of its value in edifying a human (and sexual) being for a lifetime of personal, and interpersonal, fulfillment.

I wonder to what degree 'Go Ask Alice!' is responsible for Columbia College's surging popularity."

"I am a college student attending George Washington University. I wanted to commend you for providing what I feel is such a desperately needed service especially in this day and age. So much uncertainty and confusion about sexual matters plague college students (like myself), and a service like this allows them to receive counseling for these concerns thus providing them with tremendous relief. Thanks for doing such a great job, keep it up, and my only criticism is to make your site more well known."

"I read many of your responses in the 'drug' area and was pleasantly surprised at how well informed Alice is. It is not often that someone actually takes the time to brave the sea of misinformation and spread the hard truth about sex and other sensitive topics."

"When I choose to start giving to CU — which will be lots undoubtedly — I will be certain to think of Go Ask Alice!, because I think it brings an informed simplicity and absolute direct reach into those willing to seek it out."

"Hi Alice, have been reading your post for years now. I feel as if you are one very close friend of mine that I can talk about anything with."

"In the Asian society, where sexuality still remains taboo, you are doing a very good job."

"Thank you so much for your great website! I cannot express my gratitude and respect in the full degree — you deserve much more appreciation than my words!!! It is especially true, because English is not my first language. We have enjoyed your expertise, education, and wisdom... We are especially grateful to you for having presented us the unique opportunity to receive correct information from the best website on the Internet."

"I am a recovering speed addict. I liked all the info you gave that I have read. Your site has been very beneficial to people I am trying to help. Thank you for the comments and responses. Grateful to be clean."

"Great site Alice! I've learned more in the last twenty minutes than I did in the last five years."

"Good job. You go girl."
