Technically as soon as you start menstruating. However, usually under 16 year olds need parental permission. (This changes depending on your state/country.)

I hope that was a like a typo or something..but anyways when you start your period your eligible to be on birth control. but you should totally talk to a doctor and friend and/or family member. find out the pros and cons of you being on birth control because we all have different bodies so you could have some side effects that a friend doesn't have. Also consider that some hospitals and clinics require you to have someone 18 or older permission

Now this depends. I have some family members that started young but not for purposes of not getting pregnant as much as hormonal reasons.
My aunt for instance had terrible trouble with her period and going on the bill regulated it to give her the relief she needed. I remember she said she was 14 at the time.
She didn't become sexually active till a few yrs later. For her, that worked out better to have hormones more balanced.

Dang... folks don't want to cut you much slack do they?
If you're under 16, there may be legal considerations as well as unusual effects on your body. You really need a doctor or OB/Gyn nurse to help you decide if it's right for you. Hormonal treatments are tricky at the best of times, and right now you have lots of extra natural hormones running around.
Pregnancy can be extremely hard on a girl in her teens. Disease can be even rougher. Consider those before becoming sexually active. If you do go on birth control and become sexually active, please please please still insist that your partner wear a condom. Sex is great, BUT your body just might not be ready for some of the negative consequences... Please be very careful.
Best wishes,

Obviously with the way you type. You are too young for birth control.
I think 18 is a good age.

If you're too young to spell "youngest" and "birth" than you're too young for birth control.
But I've heard of girls as young as 15 and 16 being on the pill but that's something you should take up with your gynocologist.

I would say when you can spell correctly. I don't know why kids are in such a hurry to grow up and have adult relationships where sex in involved. Geez, you'll get there soon enough. Just enjoy being a kid - you'll wonder why you didn't when you are a bit older.

Well, considering how you spell, maybe you should at least finish middle school first.

I would imagine as soon as you start your menstrual cycle.
