How do you ask my mom for birth control Im 16 and recently sexually active but want to be safer?
Teenagers should be applauded for wanting to practice safe sex. There is nothing at all "safe" about engaging in unprotected sex.
Being 16-years-old, State laws may not require a parent's approval or consent to get Birth Control pills, but it definitely does require a prescription from your doctor. Condoms are another choice to consider, and they don't require a prescription. They are sold in pharmacies and many grocery and convenience stores.
My daughter was 16-years-old when she first decided she wanted to start using birth control. She opted for "the patch." She simply sat down with her mother one afternoon and explained that even though she was not sexually active, she was in a serious relationship with her boyfriend, and thought she mght become sexually active in the near future. She said that she didn't want to be a teenage mother, and that was all the convincing her mother needed. I wasn't excited about the idea of my daughter being on birth control, because in my mind, it meant she was growing up and that my little girl was slipping away from me, but I was very proud to know she was taking responsibility for her actions.
