*Hey I'm not sure if the laws or whatever are different in every state, but if you go down to a Planned Parenthood...they will give you BC for free and condoms etc.

~~So that's just a thought, and your mom/dad or both will eventually find out sooner or later that you are sexually active. So you might as well sit down w/ whichever parent you are closest to, and tell the truth and ask for help.

*Because I'm sure your mom and dad would feel a lot more SECURE and could sleep a little better at night if they knew you were on a birth control and using condoms and being tested. As opposed to you being on no BC and not using condoms and not being able to be tested for STD's and stuff.

*I know it's a scary thing, having your parent know you're having sex...especially while your underage. But if you've been pregnant once before, you really need to go get some BC quick girly. Save your future, and don't let that happen again, because it's mostly true...(especially at your age) once you have a baby, it changes everything. And you won't be able to do everything you do now, you'll have to get a job to take care of your baby...and who says the daddy will actually stay with you to take care of the child? I mean you really need to think about your future, before you mess around w/o any contraceptives missy :)

**I'm not trying to be mean, it's just I hate hearing girls at your age (god im talking like an old woman and im only 21) getting prego and losing out on their future...and never being able to do what they wanted to do.

****Ugh..so yes...please go down to Planned Parenthood (they are super confidential) and they will help you, and your family doesn't even need to know. ****

**P.S. To all the young mothers....I do have respect for you for taking responsibility for your actions. I really do. So please don't take what I said above the wrong way....I was just saying that when you have a baby, sometimes you do lose out on a lot (future) and you can miss out on things.
**Wish you luck, and get that BC please!

Answer 3

I highly recommend being honest with them, regarding the fact that you need birth control now. It's probably best at this point that you don't bring up the previous pregnancy, as it's all in the past now, and there's no point in rehashing it.

One thing that you should keep in mind...The truth of the matter is that you don't need your parents' permission to get birth control. Planned Parenthood will help you with this, regardless of whether or not your parents are with you. Every person has the right to privacy, particularly when it comes to your medical needs.

Answer 4

i don't understand the place you're from yet there are a number of clinics which will provider a sexually energetic teenager with no verify being recent. whilst i replaced into 17 I went to planned parenthood and have been given an examination and beginning administration for unfastened with out my mom, so i think what i'm asserting is you would be able to desire to preserve the placement on your person. attempt calling 211 to get some numbers to unfastened clinics.

Answer 5

tell your parents straight up. have them sit on the couch in the family room. and have them listen to every thing you have to say before they say anything. explain to them what happened about the miscarriage and you are not ready for kids yet. and let them know you want b.c. they will come to listen to you if you tell them the truth from the start. and if they ask you what kind of birth control you were thinkin tell them you want the shot. you dont have to worry about taking a pill every day. you only take it once every three months. and it is more accurate than the pill. the birth control shot is 99.99% accurate. i know cuz i am on it. you can get it from the local health department. the name of the shot is depo vera. if you start having side effects let your parents know asap. there is that possiblity of haveing symptoms. i know that for personal experience. this makes the second time i have been doing the shot. the first time i took the shot i was have stomach problems. i took it once and i quit taking it. i waited a year and gave it another try. the reason i chose the shot was cuz i am always forgetting to take my medications that the doctor would prescribe me.
i told my mom about me having sex and yeah she got upset about it but she couldnt say anything cuz she was haveing sex at my age and i wised up and wanted to be safe about it. we both decided for me to take the depo shot. cuz we both know how bad if forget to take my medication. but she understood. so she didnt argue with me about it. i started having sex when i was 13. exactly one week from my 14th. i was about your age when i told my mom about it. now i am 19 years old and doing good with the shot. i have been on the shot for almost 3 years now. hope this helps you talk to your parents about it. just lettin you know they may get upset about it but tell them to hear you out. they wont be as upset if you tell them that you want to take b.c

Answer 6

Well, the way i see it, there's two options. one: be honest, hope they'll understand. set them down (whichever one you think would be most understanding) tell them whats going on and hope for the best, and if that parent says ok they can talk to the other parent. You'd be surprised how well this approach works. Because while they may not be happy with you at the moment, they would rather you get on bc than get pregnant.
now the other route, the one i took, which isn't so honest and should ONLY be used if your parents are so old fashioned that they would not allow you to get bc.... tell them its to regulate your periods. because bc does give you lighter, shorter, more regulated cycles.

Answer 7

just tell them that you want to get on birth control to help keep you protected. But my cusion did the same thing to her parents they said no cuz it gave her an excuse for having sex. But even if they say no to your birth control always make sure you or they guy you have sex with has condoms.Just tell your parents the truth you will have a weight lifted off your chest. Its not like they are goign to disowen you or not love you anymore. Just tell them. Email me if you want to talk more

Answer 8

Were I live sixteen year old girl can go to planned parent hood and get birth control.May be you should check the laws in your area and see if you can get them yourself.This would be much better than a unwanted pregnancy.

Answer 9

You could sit down and tell them that you are sexually active and you want to do the responsible thing and get on birth control. Or you can go to planned parenthood and get on birth control. They won't tell your parents and you can still be responsible.

Answer 10

If you dont want to get pregnant, why are you having sex??????

Ether stop having sex, or prepare to be a mother...or just tell your parents you need birth control.

I say JUST STOP HAVING SEX. It's the only 100% birth control anyways! Even the pill is less effective then good ol' restraint.

Answer 11

The best form of birth control, is not having sex at all.. if you arent ready for a baby, that you are not ready to have sex.. not to mention the STDs that could come along with it... you need to protect yourself as long as possible...
