Answer #1

You’re a kid.Chill.

Answer #2

I personally don’t think that lying is the right approach to take. Parents know why their teens want to go on birth control, so making up a story will only make them trust you less. Just be straight up with them.

I see you said before that you have a boyfriend and that you want to wait, but that you just want it so that you’ll be safe when that time comes. Why not wait until you feel you’re ready for sex to ask about it? If you can’t talk about it, it kind of makes it seem like something you probably shouldn’t be doing yet anyhow.

Either way, when you’re ready for sex, be sure that your boyfriend always uses a condom. When used properly, they’re pretty effective (not to mention, they help protect you from STI’s). Be sure that your boyfriend knows that you won’t have sex without one, regardless of whether or not you’re on birth control.

Answer #3

I really recommend against it at your age, you have so much more you should be looking forward to. If its going to happen I would talk to your parents about it, at your age they seem to only want to stop you from having fun, but most of us don’t realize it until after we make the mistakes. My father gave me condoms at 15 and I used one at 16, with the girl I’ve been with for 6 years have a 3 y/o and getting married next month.

Answer #4

if your thinking about having sex (though at your age its illegal) yes, you should go on some form of birth control it would be a good idea to talk to your mum and doctor about it it can both help regulate your period and if taken correctly is 98-99% effective at preventing pregnancy keep in mind that nothing is 100% and anytime you have sex ther will be a chance of pregnancy and remember to LEARN about sex before you go off having it learn about as well as a male and female reproductive system birth control, contraception, pregnancy and sti/stds don’t have sex until you know the consequences involved with it because the main reason why kids and teens get pregnant and get stds is because of a lack of sex education

Answer #5

I completely understand where you’re coming from- just tell her how you feel. She might say you’re too young, and you are a little young, so don’t fight back. Just approach her again in a year or so. Make sure she understands that you are NOT going on the pill so that you can have sex, just so that you will be protected if something DOES happen. What I told my mom was that if I REALLY wanted to have sex, I would do it with or without the pill, and that made her realize that I wouldn’t use it as an excuse to go crazy. Just make sure you’re calm about it and if she says no, don’t argue with her.

Answer #6

Your 13 years old. Sex shouldn’t be on your mind and neither should birth control.

Answer #7

ok first of all…your thirteen I just turned 14…and I know maybe by the end of next I might ber ready…but also your a girl so maybe by the end of 13 you might bready…(but dont worry when I was 13 I felt the same and I had to ask my parents for a condum)…so how I would ask my parent for birth control pills would be the same way I asked them for a condom…go to the parent your closest with (the one that wont yell at you) and (for you its so much easier omfg I have so many ways)well 1 is incase the time comes2 is I mite get r@ped ( I went with one) but you should go with two

Answer #8

Use the “My period cramps are horrible and painful” excuse and im sure she’ll go for it. Unless of course you haven’t started yet, but im sure you have. Some women take birth control so they wont be bothered by having their period so often, so go with that. Some people are going to be like “Oh, don’t lie. Tell the truth she’s your mom, she’ll understand”. I doubt that. I might get raped. That’s a great one?
