My daughter started menstruating at 10. During a trip to the family doctor I asked him when she should start getting pap smears and he said when she becomes sexually active. I know how old I was and on the ride home I told her that there will come a time that you are going to want to have sex and there is no way I can stop you. The important thing is to be safe and with STD:s that means condoms. She also gets depo provera shots. If you do not want to become a grandmother at this time I would suggest that you get her birth control.

I am sure this is a shock to you, but you should be very proud of your child to bring this to you. Yes, most definitely get the birth control. I would guess you have already had some serious discussions about responsible sex in your house, so keep the lines of communication open, and I think you will be pleased with the maturity of your child. Withholding birth control could lead to some very unpleasant consequences. Good luck.

If someone feels they are ready to have sex they will find a way. The fact that he/she asked you shows a lot of responsibility, maturity and courage. Most 15 year olds would probably to find a way to get it themselves, or just be stupid and not use protection. If it were me, I'd help him/her get birth control and explain the responsibility that comes along with sex and to make sure they are ready. Better safe than sorry. They'll do it whether you help ''em or not.

I asked my mom for bc when i was 15. It took a lot of courage n i was so afraid she was going to yell n freak out n stuff. My mom understood that i just always wanted to b protected. I didn't want to be like all those other girls in school that were having kids. But my mom's a nurse so she explained everything to me, and i mean EVERYTHING. She took out her old nursing books n showed me pics of STDs n stuff. That kinda scared me into always using a condom. Now, im getting married, i have no kids, n i am std free. I think u should get ur daughter the bc, but do what my mom did. Show her what stds do to the body, don't just tell her. Be sure to explain to her the way bc works n that if she takes antibiotics the pills effectiveness goes down. Good luck!

Yes I would get it for them. It takes a lot of courage for a teen to ask their parents that question. Atleast that way I know my daughter is being protected and is responsible enough to use birth control. I would still say to use condoms to prevent stds. It would be awkward and shocking and probably upsetting for me at first, but atleast I would know my daughter knows how to take responsiblity in using birth control instead of just having sex and just doing the "pull and pray" method. If you make them wait, then they will be out having sex without birthcontrol.

Don't make them wait, Its unfortunate that they are thinking so seriously about the need for birth control, but if they are showing a need to be responsible about it, don't stand in their way. they just might try to use the withdrawal method - which does not work

HAH! Not in a million years I would make them wait. I asked my mother for birth control and she said no, so I went out and had sex anyway. So ofcourse I would get her pills, i'd rather her be safe than sorry.

If it were my daughter and she was asking for birth control,,I would have her to the Dr. for the first available appointment. If she hasn't already had sex, then she is thinking about it. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Well be grateful she's coming to you at all most 15 year olds don't even want to look at their parents.If I were you I'd take her to get birthcontrol it's better than her coming home saying I'm pregnant at least you know she's trying to be safe, talk to her about sex and all the risk try to discourage her from having sex but also let her know your there for her and explain the risk and talk about condoms.GOOD LUCK!!
