Why wont my mom let me be safe?

Ask her straight up if she has worries, if she has another reason for wanting to put it off. I am a mom and I am not stupid, my guess is that you may be less worried about birth control and really want the skin on skin. Your man can stray and she may not want to stop using condoms because of the risk. Be honest as you can be with yourself and as honest with her about your plans. At the end of the day Birth Control IS A GOOD back up!!! You do not want to be a Mom and she should not want to be a Grandma. Either way make sure you stay safe sweetie. Research the pills some can really be unhealthy. Doctors are not always great are really telling you the good that bad and the ugly about the pills. Research sweetie as much as you can. I wish you luck be safe and happy!

I think you need to be a little more resonable with your mom. I mean if she’s in school, she’s ganna have a lot of work, not to mention adding the part about being a mother, who’s daughter is already engaged in sexual activity. Im totally with you on being safe, I mean being safe would prevent a butt load of problems, but im sure your mother is worried as well. Have you researched birth control pills? Some times they cause infections within the human body and the person winds up dying. Maybe she’s hoping if she doesn’t get the pills, you’ll stop having sex. I don’t know I mean if my daughter was having sex before marraige, I’d want to find a way to stop it. Just talk to her though. I hope this helps

ummm, I’m his dork, it doesn’t cause infections and can’t kill someone. It can however have side effects.

I suggest that you tell your mother that you will go to planned parenthood and get it yourself and then you can go. She probably is delaying it because she doesn’t want to face the reality of you being sexually active (a normal reaction for parents).

So don’t wait for her, go to planned parenthood (USA) or a free government clinic and get it yourself.

She thinks if she doesnt get you the birth control that you wont have sex. As you can see, by certain answers, logic apparently does not fall into decision making. You’re almost 18, but yes, I dont think you should wait 9 more months to go see a doctor, go to a free clinic and see someone there. When you’re 18 you wont have to wait for your mother to take you.

Ok, acting all inpatient about it is just gonna make her think that sex is all you want to do, which isn’t good at all. You should be old enough to just go to a clinic by yourself and get put on it. You don’t have to be 18 for that. There are such things as free clinics, so yea, don’t depend on her to do it if you can. That way its showing you that you ARE responsible enough. I hope this helps.
