Well, you could try - You are going to try sex whether or not if you have birthcontrol pill. You are trying to act responsiably by thinking ahead.

Why not just sit down with your parents and explain the facts of puberty and all that to them. Tell them you are not ready to have sex but since you woudl prefer to be safe than sorry, you would appreciate it if they would okay you taking the pill. Just be honest and hope they haven't forgotten what it was like when they were young.
Also, two things -
1. be sure to discuss the various brands and possible side effects with your doctor and pharmacist.
2. make sure your bf has an up to date supply of condoms and wears them every time; you might be on the pill but that doesn;t prevent sexually transmitted infections. And it may be harder to explain those to your parents than talk to them about the pill.

I feel for you honey. As a matter of fact I have a 15yo daughter and we just went through this a few months ago and I just talked to her and her bf again just a few nights ago. I told her I would not put her on the pill and did not want them having sex. The way I see it is when she is responsible enough to take care of herself then she is responsible enough to make those kind of decisions. I also told her if she is that determined to have sex that babies are not the end of the world. I don't want to be a grandmother at 35 but I couldn't stand the thought of her catching some disease especially AIDS. *YOU CANNOT ABORT AIDS OR GIVE IT UP FOR ADOPTION. If her and her bf are that determined to have sex then they better damn well have a condom. I asked to make sure they did, I will go get them a box of condoms if necessary, But like I said, until you are old enough to take the responsibility of caring for yourself, much less someone else, you shouldn't be making the decision to have sex yet!

My best advice to you is to go about it in a mature way. Present your opinion, & be honest with her. If you haven't had sex yet, tell her that & that you just want to be responsible etc. Don't throw a fit if she says know first! Let her think about it-sometimes it takes a day or week for a mother to get over it that her baby isn't a baby anymore! Also, check planned parenthoods/health depts in your area. You might be able to get on the pill without parental consent. Good Luck!

My suggestion is to just tell her. I went on the pill when I was your age myself. It's not an easy thing to do, but you'll earn a little bit more trust an respect if you just speak up, be honest and ask.
My best friend at the time had gotten pregnant and that scared me into asking my mom the same day that my friend had found out. She was very happy that I came to her actually. 8-)

Personally, if my daughter came to me and told me she wanted to be on birth control then she is thinking maturely. But I would advice you and her to simutaneously use condoms to prevent diseases and further prevent pregnancy. Go to her and look at her and tell her that you are not sure if you are going to have sex soon or not but you want to ensure that you don't bring a child into this world. Having sex is a big responsibility and she should think that you are being responsible to go to her and ask her to go on birth control. Also, you really don't need your mother's permission to get birth control. If you go to a clinic some will give them to you for free along with latex condoms. Try calling your local health dept for further information. But I do think that you should also confide in your mother. She knows best.

Just tell them be honest it might be something your parents had been thinking about too. Make sure you tell them that the birth control will be an addition to the condom that you will be using because they may be concerned that you will not use a condom if your on birth control. Good luck

Just be honest with them and if they don't understand then you can go to a planned parenthood in your area to get birth control pills. They should be happy that you even came to them to ask- so hopefully they will understand but if they don't understand then there are ways to get birth control on your own.
Good Luck.

If you arn't ready to tell her that your a sexually active, I would wait a year or until you are ready. They have a health clinic in my town where you can do it yourself, while being secret about it, and ever get checked. That is what I would do in your situation. If you want to be honest with her, tell her you think you should start taking birth control, to be safe. She shouldn't get mad she had to do it to. . . Hope I helped!

I was 14 when I started having sex, and I went to Planned Parenthood and got the pills myself without my parents ever knowing.

You dont need to tell your parents.
You can go to the doctor alone or with a friend and the doctor is not allowed to tell your parents.
