I think you should because birth control helps not get pregnant and helps with your periods.......

If you have a better relationship with your daughter than you did with your parents, you won't need to put her on birth control when she's 13. The better, more responsible thing to do, would be to let her know that whenever she does become sexually active, that you want her to be on birth control. Make sure she knows that you won't judge her as a result. You just want her to be safe. A 13 year old girl has no business having sex. If you were sexually active at that age, you should recognize that it was a mistake to do, and encourage your daughter to make better decisions than you did. You don't want her to be a young teenage mother like you- if you want better for your daughter, you have to set better expectations (and better examples) for her to live up to.

If your parents taught you not to have sex and you did it anyway, it means they didnt teach your right.
It can be taught right, so birth control is not the answer. That will only encourage someone to have sex cos they no longer fear pregnancy. Also no birth control is 100% effective except abstinence and it is not unreasonable to expect a 13 year old to be abstinent.
Also it wont protect against STDs. Instead of thinking of birth control, work on how to teach her effectively to be a virgin until marriage. You have enought time for it.

I agree with Jennilee. Putting her on birth control pills is sending her a mixed message. I do not want you to have premarital sex, but just in case you do....
I know it's hard raising a young lady in these times, but you have to stand by your morals and teach her that sex before marriage is wrong.especially at the age of 13! Talk to her constantly about STDs and the responsibility of raising a child. Good luck

I think its a bit early to be discussing her birth control options with her.
Talk with her about sex early and often so that she won't be afraid to come to you if she has any questions about sex. Just putting her on birth control will be less effective than open communication with her.
Edited to add:
So your parents taught you not to have sex. Exactly WRONG. You're right. Kids will have sex. What's important is having an open and honest relationship with her so that she will know to come to you if she needs to. If you automatically put her on birth control at age 13 you are telling her that you do not trust her and not valuing her at all. I know that you have her best interests at heart, but I'm afraid that you'll be going about it the wrong way.
You have a lot of time to think about this. Discuss this with your child's pediatrician the next time your visit him/her and see what they say about it.

it really depends on whether or not you think she will become sexually active? If the answer is yes, Id concentrate more on educating her on sexually transmitted diseases and the use of condoms in addition to birth control. the best method against pregancy and deadly diseases is to not engage in sexual activity at all. Make sure she understands this. if she's determined to have sex at such a young age, birth control in addition to condoms is a must! Not just birth control alone.

Isn't putting your daughter on birth control at 13 give her the okay from you to have sex?

Proper Parenting should help her make the correct decisions for herself making birth control unnecessary. Birth control does not protect against disease and encourages unprotected sex. Hope I have been helpful.

I hope you are not serious that you are thinking about this now...
13 is way too young for a child to be sexually active... Isn't putting a child on birth control giving them the message that you think it is acceptable?

Its totally up to you , but your daughter might not fully trust you to trust her once you do this. It just depends on how your daughter is raised .If she a good kid , I wouldn't worry about it . Dont stress it will all work out for you !!! You will probably be a very good mom.

Be a parent, and teach her! You are still the parent---install good moral values in your children.
