how do you tell you mom that you want to be put on birth control?

Question

im a teenager

Answer 1

I agree just to talk with your mom being open and honest.

However, remember that condoms aside from abstinence are the best protection from STD's but they cannot protect you 100% because there is skin to skin genital area contact during intercourse that the condom does not cover. There is safer sex but there is no such thing as safe sex.

Answer 2

Grandma: Being honest is always the best idea, some Moms think that by giving you birthcontrol that is like saying it is OK to have sex, I think it is smarter today to protect your daughter than it used to be, because you all are starting so much younger. The best protection is not to do it at all. But if you really don't think you can hold out, use a combination of Condoms and foam. Condoms alone are not full proof and are greatly dependent up on proper use by the male, who may lack proper skill of use.
I would talk to Mom first, if not then seek your own protection. Rememeber though..accidents happen and if you play you may pay a lifetime of consequences! Are your prepared to be a mom if your condom fails? At 16, I started buying boxes of condoms for my boys and put them in the top of the bathroom closet and said I don't wanna know if you use them or not just tell me when it is empty and I will refill it! They never empty it!

Answer 3

First I think it's great that you want to include your mother in this decision. Second the way that I told my mother when I was in high school was to simply tell her that I wanted to protect myself and my future by starting birth control. I also told her that getting on birth control was not an admission that I was having sex. I was 14 and a freshmen in high school at the time. Now 21 I have a good job, a fiance', a 17 month old baby and another one on the way in May.

Answer 4

Approach 1: Be honest with her. Tell her you want to be on it, not because you are having sex, but because If it ever did happen you want to protect yourself and be safe.

If she won't let you tell her that you don't plan on making the wrong decisions ( no parents want to think their daughters are having sex) but you are getting older and would like to have the comfort and security of knowing that if you did get carried away you won't have a baby to be responsible for.

Approach 2: Tell her you have really bad periods and cramping and it is proven that brith control will help regulate and control your menstral cycle.

If she still wont let you USE CONDOMS. Protect yourself any way you can. Being a teen mom is difficult

Answer 5

This first this must be said. Having sex will not make people love you. Having sex will not confirm that you are attractive to the opposite sex. Before you go to your mom and are honest, you need to be honest with yourself why you are wanting to be on the pill. Thats what you have to tell your mom and dad. Don't be fooled, birth control and sex will not solve your problems it will only open the door to more.

Answer 6

Just go to planned parenthood or your county health department and obtain it. You do not need your moms consent. If you decide to tell your mom give her the choice birth control or grandchild and I'm sure she'll insure you see your gynecologist.

Answer 7

You should go up to her and tell her that you are pregnant, then after she wakes back up after fainting, say "HAHA just kidding, but seriously mom I want some birth control pills, I'm a little slut"

Answer 8

13 is a teenager and should'nt even be having sex. You don't say your age which in a way says you're too young to be doing anything. Please, don't be stupid. Having sex too soon can change your life FOREVER. There's STD's now that there's no cure for. Maybe you can go to your local Planned Parenthood office and talk to someone there. They'll be able to give you good advice...

Answer 9

You need to sit down and be honest with her. Myself, if my daughter was going to be having sex I would rather her come to me to ask for birth control than to end up pregnant. BUT, PLEASE REMEMBER...the birth control pill does NOT protect against STDs. Always use a condom along with the pill.

Answer 10

Just tell her that you may or may not be interested in the idea of having sex but you want to know what to do to prevent a pregnancy. Have the conversation - she'll appreciate the talk.
