I need real Life sistuation,How did you tell your parents maybe ?

-Thanks.
My parents are really comftable with my boyfriend of 10 months,and my mom asked have me & the boy had sex,but i wanna be 2x safe. with him using a condom & me being on birth control.
 
QUIT HAVING SEX YOUR TO YOUNG....if you stll choose to be stupid then go to planned parant hood and get if for free and they dont need to speak to your parants
 
EEKKK...I'd freak out as a parent. So be ready for it. I promise your parents would rather you come to them now instead of you telling them they are going to be grandparents. There is no sweet way of telling them...you just have to do it.
 
You can either just come right out and do it (only tell your mom though; dads are sketchy in that way).

I told my mom it was to regulate my periods, and she agreed with me (cause I get really nasty periods that last like 14 days). That's an easy solution to get the pill without telling them you have been having sex.
 
OMG u r a whooorreeee :) and u r a screw up, and if u seriously think that ur parents are going to get u birth control u r messeeddd up, and if they do then ur parents are meessseeddd up as well...there are so many meeessssseeeeddd up people in the world! and u r one of them! !
 
Maybe, what you could possibly do is stop having sex! You're 14! Damn what is wrong with today's youth? I'm not even gonna help you with the birth control question, stop having sex and you'll be even more safe!
 
okay, you guys, let's hold the judgement. the birth control pill can be used for other purposes, like to make cramps and periods less severe. if you're uncomfortable telling your parents that you're having sex, you could use this approach.

but good for you for being proactive and protecting yourself. i would so much rather see a girl asking for help about getting on the pill than asking if she's pregnant. remember, the pill does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so if you have sex you still need to use a condom too, plus it's extra prevention from pregnancy.

if your parents don't want to help you get on it but you still feel that you need to get on it, planned parenthood can help you get it for free or low cost, and confidential to your parents, and they also provide free condoms. i provided a link on their website so that you can find a clinic near you. they also have some tips about talking to your parents about this. good luck!
 
Just be truthful with them. They may be mad and in shock but remind them that it is better than you being 14 and pregnant. You think you are ready for sex and just want to protect yourself and be smart. Let them know that you will still use condoms because that's the only way to prevent STD's as well. I think that will work.
 
come on people. don't you have better things to do other then to chastise someone for asking a question?? i mean really. obviously she's made the descision to have sex and you don't really have any right to be calling her a whore, a slut, or a screw up. you don't know anything about her except what she's told you in this question.

ok. so birth control has different purposes. they are: it makes youre period lighter, and shorter. and less crampy. if you don't want to tell youre parent's that youre having sex, go to the parent which youre closser to, and just present it to them. yeah, theyre gunna freak out, but because youre talking to them about it, and asking for protection, it shows youre taking steps to protect yourself. they're not going to be to enthusiastic about it, but hey. what can you do.
 
woww!! honestly why is every on here being so negative okay shes 14 but she didnt ask for advice she asked how to ask her mom at least shes trying to be safe and thats what girls these days need to be doing. anyway enough with the rude people but i would just talk to your mom and say "i know you probably dont think its the best thing for me to do but i want to be safe just in case anything happens so i want to go on birth control"
 
just tell them that....they may be upset...ok actually ....really upset but the best thing to do is to get on birth control. and prevent a pregnancy that would be far worse news then hey mom i need birth control....think about it. good luck.
 
If you're already having sex then this is very urgent.
You need to sit down with mom, dad or both and tell them that even though you are very young, you're already sexually active and you need some sort of birth control.

Prepare yourself for them freaking out though. No matter what though, insist that they take you to the doctor to determine what form of birth control is safe for you.

Now after you've gotten the birth control I'd say control your urges. Just because you are protected does not mean you have a free pass to have sex all the time. BC only protects you against pregnancy not against STDS, so be aware of that.

Good luck and please stay young.
 
Well.....I'm sure I will get some thumbs down for this - but what the h*ll. I'm glad that you are showing some responsibility for your own actions by realizing that birth control is a necessity - especially at your age.

Obviously, I have to tell you that you shouldn't be having sex at 14, but that's not going to make a difference. You are just a kid right now - you don't fully know the consequences of sex.

If you think your parents are going to flip out when you bring this up, you can always go to Planned Parenthood without them to get on birth control. I think telling your parents is the ideal thing, but if you are goign to have sex no matter what your parents say, I'd rather have you being safe about it.
