How do you tell your parent you want to be put on birthcontrol?

Helpp...How do you tell your parent you want to be put on birthcontrol?
I dont know how old you are but I was 14 when I asked, I had a BF and thought I was in love, so I went to my mother and told her please take me to get BC, I dont plan to have sex but it may happen and if it does I want to make sure i am being responsible, then when we got to the clinic my mother handed me a handful of the free condoms they put out and told me that my BF had better be responsible too.. then she told me she was proud of me!How do you tell your parent you want to be put on birthcontrol?
Firstly, be sure you are ready for sex! A lot of us regret losing it when we did! And that sucks. BUT, if you must- if you don't think your mom will be OK with you getting on birth control because you want to have sex, then you can always complain about cramps and irregular periods- birth control helps with that.
If you think they are going to flip out then go to a Planned parenthood by yourself or a friend or relative.


If your parents feel that you are too young to be having sex then they are probably right. Abstinence is much safer physically and emotionally. Waiting is the best thing you can do for yourself and your future. There are many other sexual things you can do without actually having sex.
at least your responsible. your parents should see it the same way
Sit down with your mother and tell her. Flat out, it's the best way to go. Ask her to go with you to the doctors office, ask her about the exam, and offer up the WHY you want to be on the pill.





I'd like to caution you, though, that birth control doesn't mean that you should have sex (which you shouldn't until later in life, but you can make that decision for yourself....use a condom too, though, for more reasons other than pregnancy).





Many times girls will go on birth control for their skin, for their weight, and for extreme cramping. If any of these apply to you, then talk to your folks. If they don't, then think long and hard about whether this is what YOU want, or what your current boyfriend wants.





It's always wiser to wait, and if he won't, he's not worth it.
Is this the year 1952? You don't need parental permission for birth control. Go see your doctor, or the local clinic. Federal law prohibits them from telling your parents.





I have a 3 year old girl. In ten years, I will be lobbying against this law. :)
Theya re not 100%...IMHO if you have to ask Mommy your too young to be doing it. You can't handle the consequences yet. What about the STD's??? Most dont show and you are not going to use condoms.





What till your married or at least an adult. All boys do is use teenage girls for sex. Its not love its hormones
If you want to be responsible, don't have sex until you're married (or at least in a long-term, commited relationship and are ready (mentally and financially) to handle a child. Birth control fails--abstinence does not.





If I were you, I wouldn't tell your mom a thing--just don't have sex. You have the rest of your life. At 16, while you may be a teenager, you're still a child, and children (regardless how mature you *think* you are) shouldn't have sex.





If you *insist* on doing this, buy condoms for your boyfriend(s). Your mom will never need to know about it (causing her worry and grief) and it's better than non-barrier methods (the pill, the patch, IUD, etc.) which do NOT protect against STDs. Even if you've been dating your boyfriend for a long time, you never know what he's doing with other girls, if any. Plus, some STDs are silent, meaning they show no symptoms at all, or at least, not until too late.
4 ways


1. tell her you need to talk about a serious subject that a ';friend'; is going through


2. accidently leave your diary open on your bed explaining how much you need to speak to your mom about sex but are afraid.......she will be speaking to you that night!!!


3. if your mom is real religious and cant even imagine this then i would suggest to protect yourself anyway you can, condoms the pill etc...


4. how old r u......anyhing younger than 18 you are too young, you have the rest of your life, you need to enjoy your youth which means no sex, sex leads to disease, a broken heart, a bad name for yourself, unwanted pregnancy, no education etc......
I'd go to my mother and tell her that i would like to start taking birth control pills. I'm having feelings not sure if i want to right now. I want to be on the safe side when I do decide.
Why do you want to be put on birth control? Don't make the same mistake I did and went out and had sex at only the age of 18, just keep your pants on and wait untill your married.
don't know if you are telling mom or dad, but you just have to be honest with them. They will probably freak out, but will work with you. They should respect that you are being honest, but they will probably be upset because you are their little girl and you are growing up and they don't ever want to think about you having sex. If you can, talk to your mom about it. she will be more understanding and calm about the situation, but brace yourself for a panic freak out episode. Once you get it over with you will be happy.
I talked to my mother first, because mothers always have a way of putting it in perspect for the father. My mom told my dad that I wanted to regulate my period. As soon as my dad heard period....he could care less....he didn't even want to know about it lol!!!
Sit her down and let her know that you are ready to go on it. She may be upset to think you are ready for sex, but she'll be happier that you are thinking responsibly and that you did go to her. Good Luck!
Explain to them the reasons. If you prefer not to share that its because you want to be sexually active, tell them its to regulate your periods and help with cramping.





Just be sure that if you DO have sex to still wear a condom EVERYTIME.
It sounds like if you are needing a prent's consent to take birth control, that you are probably too young for sex at the moment. But I suppose if my daughter was gonna have sex no matter what Isaid or done, I would allow it. To keep her from becoming pregnant. Tell your mom or dad, that you feel birth control is a good option for you right now. Or you can always go to a local health. dept. and they will give you birth control free, and they have tokeep it confidential.
usually if you are close to your mom it is easier to talk to her about it, but if they have strong morals about you waiting to have sex, and you ';think'; that you are ready and you like the person go to PLAN PARENTHOOD, it is a place where they will give the birth control for free, and it is confidential.
Don't do it! If you want to get put on birth control to help you with your period tell her that. You have irregular periods and strong cramps. That worked for my mom and the doctor. Still use a condom. 1 out if 3 people don't tell their partners they have a std because they don't even know! Think about if the birth control doesn't work are ready to have a child.
Here's the script-





You: Mom, Dad, I want to start taking birth control and I would like you to take me to the doctor.





Mom and Dad: WHAT???? NO. THIS IS TERRIBLE.





You: Okay, so, I'll just call you grandma and Grandpa. Because that's what you'll become if you don't take me.





Mom and Dad: Okay, hun, we'll call tomorrow.





Best-

Be as honest as possible! Go to the parent you can be open with. If you're going to make grown up choices then approach this like a grown up.





Maybe you should look into PlannedParenthood, they're VERY private.





Good Luck!!
niknik beat me to it, but you can argue that it's to ease your period. If you really can't face them, stick to condoms- they're cheap and you don't need parent permission to get them.
