How do I talk to my parents about birth control?

Im 14, 15 on july 31st. How do I ask my mom or dad about birth control?

Answer #1

well heres how u can go about it If you have: ACNE- tell them “ mom my friend make up a name use to have really bad acne like me and her mom put her on the pill.. she has none now and its hard its affecting my self esteem and i get name called at school like “crater face” please can i get it i hate it that i get made fun of it hurts me so bad PERIOD- Mom my period isnt ever on time. Its wacko and its embarassing im afraid my heavy flow will make me leak my pants when im at school. My friend make up a name use to have a bad irregulated period but her mom put her on the pill and now she knows when she will get it every time. last time i had my period i leaked through my shorts and didnt know till i got home but people were laughing at me the next day at school telling me i was dieing,

or something along those lines. HOPE I HELPED. if it is for se*xual purposes NEVER tell your mom or dad.. Tell your mom. not your dad. he wont understand. unless hes cool! lemme know how it works

Answer #2

the best birth control, besides seriltzation and abstinince is depo-provera. Besides you being 99.9% less likely to get pregnant, your period stops after like 3 shots. That means that your parents will save money by not haveing to buy pads/tampons for you.

Answer #3

well try to wait as long as posible but tell them how u fell and u think u might want it just in case

Answer #4

I really think you should wait another year, but just remember BE CAREFUL because you can still get pregnant with the pill. If you’re alone with your mom.. just say that you want to be responsible and safe, and then ask. i think parents will buy that :]

Answer #5

xdancecutiexo1 was hopefully saying put off telling them for another year.. It would be stupid for her to put off using them for another year. But you should just cut to the chase and tell them that you are sexually active but are being responsible by using birth control. They won’t like the idea, but will secretly appreciate the fact that you are taking responsibility for your actions and are thinking about what you are doing.

Answer #6

Wow, this is gonna be a hard one. Coming from a parent, they aren’t going to be happy knowing that you are wanting to become sexually active. They will probably put up a fight. But the truth is, these days teens are just going to do what they want to do. Gone are the days where the parent lays down the law and the kids just do what they are told. (Well, actually my kids still do that, but they’ve known since birth how to act around adults.) I’m just going to say that if you are sure you are going to talk to them, sit them down calmly and just say it. I would advise to wait another year or so, but then again I doubt you will listen to a stranger. Good luck.
